Interest in environmental health research conducted with community
participation has increased dramatically in recent years. In this
book, Doug Brugge and H. Patricia Hynes relate experience of
multiple community collaborations across the United States and
highlight the lessons to be learned for those involved in or
embarking on community-collaborative research. The volume brings
together a variety of cases, examining the nature and form that the
collaboration took, the scientific findings from the work and the
ethical issues that needed to be addressed. Actual cases covered
include lead contaminated soil, asthma and housing conditions, the
impact of development on environmental health, the impact of
radiation hazards, urban gardening, hog farming and diesel exhaust.
The concluding section analyses the experiences of those involved
and puts their findings into broader context. Community Research in
Environmental Health: Lessons in Science, Advocacy and Ethics
provides a valuable guide for all those interested and involved in
community research.
