Community Engagement Core (CEC) works with researchers to 1) translate research and enhance environmental communication and environmental health literacy using culturally-centered processes; 2) increase community-responsive environmental health research through multi- directional communication with community stakeholders; and 3) enroll community stakeholders and researchers in communication and cultural training to build capacity and enhance community-academic partnerships. The CEC co-creates and implements communication dissemination plans for multi-modal outreach strategies, including print, digital, and social media materials in plain language, visual arts for STEM-related environmental health messaging, community events, and media advocacy to bridge the communication gap and ensure a well targeted, multidirectional impactful flow of information meaningful to New Mexico communities.
