This includes awareness about the health risks associated with exposure to PBB and to determine engagement strategies for these younger individuals. The APE will involve communication with community members, designing infographics and plain language summaries of scientific literature for the affected community. Additional tasks may include literature review support, analyzing qualitative focus group data and supporting Zoom meetings between community partners and Emory researchers.
