在美国，少数民族患慢性病的比例很高，如癌症、心脏病、艾滋病和糖尿病。一项由国家资助的称为“社区健康的种族和族裔办法”的倡议已指定26个社区实施示范项目，以减少目标少数群体的健康差距。本文介绍了两种将创新技术整合到项目评估计划中的方法：（1）基于Web的数据输入系统，用于记录项目活动;（2）地理信息系统（GIS），用于开发项目目标的可视化地图。这些技术可以帮助其他项目管理和衡量基于社区的公共卫生举措。
Ethnic minorities in the United States suffer disproportionately from chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, AIDS, and diabetes. A nationally-funded initiative known as Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) has designated 26 communities to implement demonstration projects to reduce health disparities in targeted minority populations. This article presents two methods of integrating innovative technologies into the program's evaluation plan:(1) a Web-based data entry system for recording project activity and (2) geographic information systems (GISs) for developing visual maps of project targets. These technologies can assist other programs in managing and measuring community-based public health initiatives.
