| Communities currently utilize a diversity of strategies to address environmental health issues. In this session, various community-based action strategies to address environmental health crises in Refinery communities will be discussed. In addition, community-based efforts to track monitoring and health outcome data will be presented. This session will also introduce participants to a community outreach & education program that translates basic research in environmental toxicology into useful information for communities affected by toxic exposures. The Louisiana Bucket Brigade’s design of a low cost Community Designed Health Symptom Survey to help communities gather data about their health will also be presented. Finally, highlights of the Global Community Monitor’s efforts in working with disempowered "fenceline" communities harmed by serious pollution from industrial sources will be discussed. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to: 1) Describe community-based action strategies to build and grow solutions to environmental health crisis in Refinery/Chemical communities; 2) Discuss how environmental monitoring conducted by impacted communities alters the public health debate; 3) Discuss how community-based tracking of environmental health data can aid in identifying problems and solutions; 4) Identify the steps necessary to include the affected community in health symptom survey design; 5) Demonstrate uses of Augusto Boal’s Image and Forum Theater for teaching toxicological concepts and risk assessment. | |||
