SUMMARY:Harnessing community strengths for research and interventions on wildfire smoke in the Yakima Valley of Washington state (NNLM)
DESCRIPTION:Millions of pregnant women and children are exposed to 
 dangerous levels of wildfire smoke in the US every year\, a public health 
 crisis predicted to accelerate in coming years. While there exist effective 
 methods for reducing wildfire smoke exposure\, many families face barriers 
 to implementing recommendations that could protect child health. We will 
 describe a study in the rural\, agricultural Yakima Valley in Washington 
 state aimed at understanding the barriers in order to develop programs that 
 could best support families in future wildfire smoke events. We’ll 
 highlight the partnership between the University of Washington and a local 
 university\, Heritage University\, and engagement of undergraduates from 
 the community in research activities and pursuit of their own original 
 research using project data. Finally\, we’ll discuss how both the 
 research findings and our unique approach to collaborating with the local 
 community could be applied to help other regions of the US being impacted 
 by wildfire smoke.\n\nJoin Meeting: https://www.nnlm.gov/training/schedule
