ABSTRACT One of the major functions of the COE is to build capacity for academic health centers and community-based organizations to collaborate in research, program delivery, evaluation and dissemination. To accomplish these functions, we rely on active Community Advisory Councils composed of key stakeholders representing the community agencies in the LCCC catchment area. The leading cancers in our catchment area are breast, prostate, colorectal, lung, pancreas, and liver and bile duct cancers. Behavioral and systemic risk factors linked to these cancers include obesity, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and limited access to cancer screening. Other issues include high prevalence of comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome, exposure to potentially carcinogenic environmental hazards, underutilization of genetic risk assessment and HPV vaccination, and health issues related to cancer survivorship. The disproportionate impact of these cancers and their risk factors on underserved minority populations, primarily Non-Latino Blacks (NLB) and Latinos (H/L), make cancer health disparities a major issue in our catchment area. COE leaders partner with basic/translational and clinical researchers to overcome barriers to access to cutting-edge clinical trial research that benefits all patients in the LCCC catchment areas. The specific aims of community outreach and engagement (COE) are: Aim 1: Identify and assess the cancer burden and risk factors within the LCCC Consortium catchment area. Aim 2: Foster research that addresses the cancer burden in the LCCC Consortium catchment area with special emphasis on community-based research on vulnerable and underserved populations. Aim 3: Enhance and strengthen community-based partnerships and programs to deliver evidence-based cancer education and resources with impact within and beyond the LCCC Consortium catchment area.

摘要 COE的主要职能之一是为学术健康中心和社区健康中心建立能力。 各组织在研究、方案交付、评估和传播方面进行合作。完成这些 职能，我们依靠积极的社区咨询委员会组成的主要利益相关者代表 LCCC集水区的社区机构。在我们的服务区，主要的癌症是乳腺癌， 前列腺癌、结肠直肠癌、肺癌、胰腺癌、肝癌和胆管癌。行为和系统风险因素相关 与这些癌症有关的因素包括肥胖、缺乏运动、吸烟和癌症筛查的机会有限。 其他问题包括高患病率的合并症，如代谢综合征，暴露于潜在的 致癌环境危害，遗传风险评估和HPV疫苗接种利用不足，以及 与癌症存活率有关的健康问题。这些癌症及其风险因素的不成比例的影响 对服务不足的少数群体，主要是非拉丁裔黑人（NLB）和拉丁裔（H/L），使癌症健康 差距是我们流域的一个主要问题。COE领导者与基础/翻译和临床 研究人员克服障碍，获得尖端的临床试验研究，使所有患者受益， LCCC集水区。社区外展和参与（COE）的具体目标是： 目标1：确定和评估癌症负担和风险因素在LCCC联盟集水区。 目标2：促进解决LCCC联盟集水区癌症负担的研究， 特别强调对弱势和得不到充分服务的人口进行基于社区的研究。 目标3：增进和加强以社区为基础的伙伴关系和方案， 癌症教育和资源在LCCC联盟集水区内外具有影响力。
