SDBA-Solutions to Diabetes in Black Americans

项目概要/摘要-美国黑人糖尿病解决方案国家资源核心 美国黑人糖尿病解决方案国家资源核心（SDBA）的目标是提供内容， 概念和方法的专业知识，以提高翻译类型2的有效性和可持续性 糖尿病（T2 DM）和肥胖研究与黑人人口。SDBA将作为国家资源核心 华盛顿大学糖尿病转化研究中心（WU-CDTR）的研究人员， 国家特别关注美国黑人中的T2 DM的重要性是引人注目的，无论是在 不成比例的健康负担，需要更有效的干预措施，以达到黑人社区， 大.研究表明，在不同的糖尿病患者中，减肥对预防和控制T2 DM具有潜在的疗效。 包括美国黑人。然而，这些研究成果并没有得到有效的翻译 或按比例扩大，以达到显著减少T2 DM差异所需的水平。此外，委员会认为， 流行病学证据和实践经验指出，社会、经济和政策背景的各个方面， 对黑人人口的干预有效性提出了具体挑战。 SDBA核心隶属于黑人健康理事会，这是一个国家研究和行动网络 位于宾夕法尼亚州的德雷克塞尔大学。理事会的使命是“制定和促进解决办法， 实现健康的黑人社区，”与学术和社区伙伴关系作为一个主要战略。的 理事会的成员网络包括成熟和新兴的学者和社区为基础的研究伙伴， 主要是美国黑人，分布在美国22个社区。SDBA核心提供了 专门关注T2 DM和肥胖研究的理事会。 作为国家资源核心，SDBA提供新颖和关键的服务，支持更广泛的科学研究。 WU-CDTR成员在国家一级的社区。SDBA核心的具体目标是：（1）提供 关于历史压迫和结构性种族主义对当前背景的影响的基础知识， 对美国黑人的T2 DM、肥胖和相关风险因素进行可持续干预;（2）推进 使用系统方法，纳入健康、文化和其他环境因素的社会决定因素， 影响黑人糖尿病翻译研究;（3）增加WU-CDTR的容量 研究人员致力于解决黑人糖尿病翻译研究中的关键空白。 SDBA将使WU-CDTR学者网络进一步发展， T2 DM在黑人人群中的根本原因。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – Solutions to Diabetes in Black Americans National Resource Core The goal of the Solutions to Diabetes in Black Americans National Resource Core (SDBA) is to provide content, conceptual, and methodological expertise to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of translational type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity research with Black populations. The SDBA will serve as a National Resource Core to Washington University Center for Diabetes Translation Research (WU-CDTR) investigators located across the country. The importance of a specific focus on T2DM in Black Americans is compelling, both in terms of the disproportionate health burdens and the need for more effective interventions that reach Black communities at large. Studies have demonstrated the potential efficacy of weight loss for T2DM prevention and control in diverse populations, including in Black Americans. However, these research findings have not been effectively translated or scaled to reach Black populations at the level needed to significantly reduce T2DM disparities. Moreover, epidemiologic evidence and experience in practice point to aspects of social, economic, and policy contexts that pose specific challenges for intervention effectiveness with Black populations. The SDBA Core is affiliated with the Council on Black Health, a national research and action network located at Drexel University in Pennsylvania. The Council mission is “to develop and promote solutions that achieve healthy Black communities,” with academic and community partnerships as a major strategy. The Council’s member network includes established and emerging scholars and community-based research partners, primarily Black Americans, located in 22 U.S. communities. The SDBA Core provides a focal point within the Council for the dedicated focus on T2DM and obesity research. As a National Resource Core, the SDBA provides novel and critical services that support a wider scientific community of WU-CDTR members on a national level. The specific aims for the SDBA Core are to: (1) provide foundational knowledge about effects of historical oppression and structural racism on current contexts for viable and sustainable interventions on T2DM, obesity, and related risk factors for Black Americans; (2) advance the use of systematic approaches incorporating social determinants of health, cultural, and other contextual influences in diabetes translation research with Black populations; and (3) increase the capacity of WU-CDTR investigators to address critical gaps in diabetes translation research with Black populations. The SDBA will allow for further growth of the WU-CDTR network of scholars conducting research on the root causes of T2DM in the Black population.
