Pregnant women are uniquely susceptible to adverse effects of air pollution exposure due vulnerabilities and health consequences during pregnancy (e.g., hypertensive disorders [HDP]) compared the general population. Because Clean Air Act (CAA) creates a duty protect at‐risk groups, regulatory assessment populations has both policy scientific foundations. Previously, pregnant have not been specially protected in establishing margin safety for ozone particulate matter (PM) standards. Due...

Background: Numerous conceptual frameworks have been developed to understand how community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships function, and multiple measurement approaches designed evaluate them. However, most measures are not validated, focused on new partnerships. To define assess the meaning of success in long-standing CBPR partnerships, we conducting a study, Measurement Approaches Partnership Success (MAPS). In this article describe theoretical underpinnings methodological used.
