Partnerships and community engagement play a key role in research translation, or the process of using scientific findings to inform strategies that protect and improve human health. In a new Partnerships for Environmental Public Health podcast, Molly Kile, Sc.D., and Allison Myers, Ph.D., discuss the power of partnering with a cooperative extension system for research translation. Kile and Myers speak about their work with Oregon State University’s cooperative extension to improve children’s environmental health across the state. They also touch on the Be Well Intervention, a program they initiated to promote well water stewardship in Oregon communities.
