Community Outreach Materials

The materials below were created to help translate CLEAR's work in a variety of ways, including information sheets, videos, and stories, and are relevant for public, community, and academic audiences.

Animated Videos

CLEAR's animated video series showcases student work by Dr. Rahul Mitra's (Research Translation Team lead) Communication capstone course. Wayne State undergraduate seniors developed audience-friendly videos that explore what VOCs are, their presence in the city of Detroit, and how CLEAR researchers are furthering community and scientific knowledge about them.

Community Guidance

These materials, developed by the Community Engagement Core, were created to help residents understand how they can reduce VOC exposure within their homes. 

Story Maps

Story Maps are a tool used to create visual stories for research. Story maps for CLEAR have been developed that discuss the purpose of CLEAR and it's on-the-ground work on the East Palestine trail derailment in Ohio. Check back as new story maps are currently under development that explore CLEAR's work in new ways!
