Designing Equitable, Transparent, Community-engaged Disaster Research

Abstract: Disaster research faces significant infrastructure challenges: regional and federal coordination, access to resources, and community collaboration. Disasters can lead to chemical exposures that potentially impact human health and cause concern in affected communities. Community-engaged research, which incorporates local knowledge and voices, is well suited for work with communities that experience impacts of environmental exposures following disasters. We present three examples of community-engaged disaster re… Show more

“…The Houston-3H project collectively stands out in many ways. First, the Houston-3H project utilized community input to establish study goals in which the community was interested [ 11 , 40 ]. Engaging the community led to increased community interest, evidenced by increased participant enrollment in the estimated-baseline timepoint and admirable participant compliance in the range of 79–90% for all collected timepoints.…”

“…Lastly, the choice of sampling tool, namely, silicone wristbands, was well-suited to the study design. Silicone wristbands are minimally invasive and easy to use in disaster scenarios [ 11 ], provide individual potential exposure assessments, and are capable of rapidly collecting data. The ease of use also likely contributed to a high compliance rate among participants.…”

“…Further, wristbands remove the need for research personnel to be present for collection, such as for the collection of house dust, hand wipes, or biological samples (e.g., serum), reducing the time and resources required to conduct the studies. For these reasons, silicone wristbands are ideal tools in disaster scenarios where normal researcher and participant contact is not possible ( Rohlman et al, 2022 ). This includes scenarios such as the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires, and any other crises that would render the use of traditional sampling approaches unfeasible.…”
