在美国，非裔美国人患癌症的比例很高，在过去几十年里，非裔美国人在所有癌症中的死亡率都是所有种族/族裔群体中最高的。此外，在一些癌症风险行为方面存在显着差异，包括肥胖，水果和蔬菜的摄入量，休闲时间体力活动和癌症筛查。要解决这些差异，就需要成功地发展与少数群体社区的关系，以便在研究过程中结成伙伴，从而了解迫切需要的领域，并制定与该社区相适应的干预措施。在这份手稿中，我们描述了项目教会（创建癌症研究和社区健康的更高的理解），得克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心和休斯顿地区的非洲裔美国人教会之间的合作伙伴关系。CHURCH项目的开发是为了了解癌症预防风险因素的差异，并让非裔美国人作为研究过程的合作伙伴。使用基于社区的参与式研究的原则，我们描述了研究伙伴关系的发展和基础设施，以及教会社区如何参与了大型非裔美国人队列研究（N = 2,338）的发展和实施。最后，队列的特点是沿着队列成功地解决社区的需要，同时有显着的贡献，科学文献。项目CHURCH是非洲裔美国人社区预防癌症的宝贵资源。
African Americans in the United States suffer disproportionately from cancer, having the highest mortality rate of any racial/ethnic group across all cancers for the past several decades. In addition, significant disparities exist in several cancer risk behaviors, including obesity, intake of fruits and vegetables, leisure time physical activity and cancer screening. Addressing these disparities require successful development of relationships with minority communities to partner in the research process, in order to understand areas of critical need and develop interventions that are compatible with this community. In this manuscript we describe Project CHURCH (Creating a Higher Understanding of Cancer Research and Community Health), a collaborative partnership between The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Houston-area African American churches. Project CHURCH was developed to understand disparities in cancer prevention risk factors and engage African Americans as partners in the research process. Using community-based participatory research principles, we describe the development and infrastructure of the research partnership, as well as how the church community has been engaged in the development and implementation of a large African American cohort study (N = 2,338). Finally, the characteristics of the cohort are presented along with cohort success in addressing community need while having significant contribution to the scientific literature. Project CHURCH serves as a valuable resource for cancer prevention in the African American community.
