社区-学术伙伴关系对于解决具有不同社会经济、语言和文化障碍的地理区域的癌症差异至关重要。关于乳房健康，移民和难民妇女是一个特别脆弱的群体，其乳房X光照射率比包括种族和少数民族在内的大多数社区低得多。为了促进这一高危人群的医疗保健公平，我们开发了一种社区-学术伙伴关系(CAP)模式，在威斯康星州密尔沃基市的社区信仰中心推广乳房健康教育。在这篇文章中，我们描述了我们伙伴关系的成功，我们吸取的教训，以及未来的方向。
Community-academic partnerships are vital to address cancer disparities in geographic areas with diverse socioeconomic, language, and cultural barriers. Regarding breast health, immigrant and refugee women are a particularly vulnerable population, with considerably lower mammography rates than most communities, including racial and ethnic minorities. To promote health care equity in this high-risk population, we developed a community-academic partnership (CAP) model to promote breast health education at community faith-based centers in the city of Milwaukee, WI. In this paper, we describe the success of our partnerships, our lessons learned, and future directions.
