The document discusses scientific issues in communities and defines community science literacy. Community science literacy refers to a community having sufficient shared resources that are distributed and organized in a way that allows community members to contribute their varying abilities to the overall well-being of the community. A community is defined as a group of interconnected people who share goals and interests. Examples of types of communities include geographic communities, genetic communities, occupational communities, and communities based on demographics or common health issues. The document asks what kinds of scientific issues communities may deal with, such as environmental issues, public health issues, or agricultural issues, and what forms community science literacy can take, such as citizen science, working with scientists on issues, or direct action groups.
