History Of

Community residents, and the community-based nonprofit and grassroots organizations who serve them, are important actors in urban public health. This chapter discusses challenges in effectively engaging community actors in urban health research and practice, as well as strategies for effective partnerships to overcome these challenges. Key challenges include addressing the history of mistrust between urban populations and research, making research relevant to community needs, and engaging communities in all phases of research. Community engagement and partnerships are fundamental to cross-sector collaborations in urban public health research and interventions.

We presented results in major scientific areas being developed in the North-West Public Health Research center throughout the 95-year history of its existence. Leningrad Institute for the Study of Occupational Diseases, which was established in 1924, have developed scientific bases for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of occupational diseases; created national school of industrial toxicology, developed procedure for hygienic regulation of harmful occupational and environmental factors in human environment. The stages of activity in the field of occupational pathology, occupational hygiene, industrial toxicology are reviewed. Currently, the research is underway to assess occupational and environmental risks to public health from exposure to harmful factors, and to improve measures to minimize them. Priorities for further development of scientific research are identified.

The Impact

As mentioned earlier in Part IV, research alone does not lead to change. Those committed to improving urban public health have a responsibility to translate and disseminate what they learn about urban health with those who make decisions about urban health, and with the input of those who are most impacted by those decisions. The authors start with chapter with a discussion of why dissemination is critical to urban health, how to plan for dissemination as research is initiated, and how to define and categorize urban health audiences. They then focus on two primary audiences for dissemination: policymakers/decision makers and community residents/leaders. They also discuss best practices for effective dissemination and the importance of measuring the impact of dissemination on urban health and action.
