Are you worried about health problems caused by the pollution in your neighborhood? Would you like the opportunity to tell your story?

If yes, then you may want to be interviewed for a community health project that aims to document the public health concerns of individuals residing in communities along Newtown Creek in NYC. The study will be conducted by a collaborative team from the Urban Public Health Department of Hunter College/CUNY, HabitatMap, and the Newtown Creek Alliance.

Participation will provide you with an opportunity to have your story documented in your own words. With your permission, the information you disclose will be displayed in written and audio format on a website (www.habitatmap.org) and in a report that will be disseminated to community members, media outlets, elected officials, and other interested parties.

Community involvement is important, make your voice heard!

If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please attend the following info session:

Wednesday, July 29th at 1PM
Bushwick Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library
340 Bushwick Avenue (at Seigel Street)
Brooklyn, NY 11206
