MINORITY CANCER PREVENTION RESEARCH UNIT

美国基金会与哈莱姆医院中心合作， 哥伦比亚大学社会工作学院和康奈尔大学医学院 大学，提出一项名为“少数民族癌症预防”的计划项目 研究单位(MCPRU)。这一P01是从一个长期存在的 代表政府的调查人员之间的合作关系 参与机构及其认识到的可行和 旨在预防可避免的癌症发病率的有效干预措施 和少数族裔人口的死亡率。的主要总体目标 这项研究计划是为了开发和测试创新干预 控制美国黑人烟草使用的模式。这 根据目前已知的情况，仔细选择了重点 有效的预防吸烟和戒烟干预方法的比较 其他癌症风险因素，以及黑人过重的疾病负担 众所周知，这与吸烟相关的差异直接相关 生病了。虽然已经选择了这个重点，但将通过以下方式了解到 目前提议的研究工作将直接适用于 针对其他癌症风险因素和 其他少数民族人口。五个单独的研究项目是 建议的是高度多学科的努力，这些努力有相当大的重叠 在干预方法、评估策略、重点人员等方面。 每一个都是形成的强大机构间合作的典范 整个计划的基本框架。这些项目包括 1)吸烟社会人口学预测因素的流行病学分析 黑人行为与吸烟相关疾病，2)一项干预 侧重于提供戒烟服务的发展项目 卫生保健环境中对黑人的干预，3)一种干预 将戒烟作为社区的一部分的发展项目- 基于市中心住房项目的癌症控制，4)一项干预 开发项目，将评估各种面向游戏的方法，以 黑人青少年的吸烟预防，以及5)干预措施 将评估校本计划成效的发展计划 黑人青少年吸烟预防项目。这些项目将是 通过五个共同的核心组成部分进行协调和管理。这些 组件表示特定重叠区域，它们是 个人研究项目。通过将这些功能分离为公共的 核心组件，每个单独的项目都将具有以下技术优势 其他四个在其设计和实现过程中。此外，由 将这些核心组件作为公共资源共享， 计划的成本将大大降低 单独的项目。这五个核心组件是1) 高级领导核心，2)干预发展核心，3) 信息管理核心，4)科学传播核心，5) 社区外展核心。

The American Foundation, in collaboration with Harlem Hospital Center, Columbia University School of Social Work and Cornell University Medical College, propose a Program Project entitled "Minority Cancer Prevention Research Unit (MCPRU)". This P01 has grown out of a long-standing collaborative relationship between the investigators representing the participating institutions and their recognized need for feasible and efficacious interventions designed to prevent avoidable cancer morbidity and mortality in minority populations. The primary overall objective of this research program is to develop and to test innovative intervention models for controlling the use of tobacco among Black Americans. This focus was carefully selected based on what is currently known regarding effective smoking prevention and cessation intervention methods as compared to other cancer risk factors, and the excess disease burden among Blacks that is known to be related directly to differences in smoking-related illness. Though this focus has been selected, what will be learned through the currently proposed research effort will have direct applicability for the development of interventions targeting other cancer risk factors and other minority populations. The five individual research projects that are proposed are highly multi-disciplinary efforts which overlap considerably in terms of intervention methods, evaluation strategies, and key personnel. Each is a model of the strong inter-institutional collaboration that forms the fundamental framework of the overall program. These projects include 1)an epidemiological analysis of sociodemographic predictors of smoking behavior and smoking-related illness among Blacks, 2) an intervention development project focusing on the delivery of smoking cessation interventions to Blacks in health care settings, 3) an intervention development project focusing on smoking cessation as part of community- based cancer control in inner city housing projects, 4) an intervention development project which will evaluate various game-oriented approaches to smoking prevention for Black adolescents, and 5) an intervention development project which will evaluate the efficacy of a school-based smoking prevention project for Black adolescents. These projects will be coordinated and administered through five common Core components. These components represent the specific areas of overlap which are common to the individual research projects. By separating out these functions as common core components, each individual project will have the technical benefit of the other four during its design and implementation. In addition, by sharing these core components as common resources, the overall costs of the program will be greatly reduced as compared to the cost of conducting the individual projects separately. These five core components are 1) the senior leadership core, 2) the intervention development core, 3) the information management core, 4) the scientific dissemination core, and 5) the community outreach core.
