Community Participation Partners

Community-based organizations or grassroots leaders with an interest in children’s health, environmental health, environmental justice and other related issues may enroll in the Documenting Hope Community Participation Program. 

As a “Community Participant,” the enrolled organization or leader will be able to obtain access to A Community-based Comparison Report, a top-level CHIRP Study data analysis report that compares your community to the full CHIRP data set.

The analysis may include rates of diagnoses, most commonly reported health symptoms, most commonly reported health exposures/stressors and similar items. This report may provide valuable support for community leaders looking to document the health impact of environmental exposures.

How Do I Become A Community Participant?

First, Community Participants must meet the following criteria:

• Must be a civil, community-based, not-for-profit, educational or service-oriented organization or be an individual willing to organize a large group of members of your community
• Must have access to a membership list or community group of greater than 50 members, or access to a network of more than 50 people who are parents of children between the ages of 1-15
• Must be willing to recruit individual participants for the CHIRP Study from within your community using pre-approved CHIRP Recruitment materials
• Must be willing to facilitate the completion of  a set number of CHIRP surveys.
