The Cecil G Sheps Center and the Program on Health Outcomes of the University of North Carolina propose to establish a Center of Excellence on Overcoming Racial Disparities (CEORHD). The CEORHD will focus the expertise of a diverse and unique research community on causes and contributing factors leading to inequalities in access to and outcomes of care. We will work with two historically black North Carolina universities, NC Central and Shaw University, in both the research projects and through research training linkages. We will establish two core groups: the Administrative and Methods Core and the Data Management Core. We will be assisted by an external advisory board as well an internal group to aid in training issues. Over the 5 years of the proposed program project, we will complete seven research projects. These projects will share research infrastructure and contribute to research seminars at UNC, NCCU, and Shaw. Our clinical area of interest is the understanding and elimination of health disparities for adult cancer and other chronic illnesses among black adults, with a special focus on rural black populations: (1) racial disparities in rectal cancer (community-based case-control study); (2) racial differences in prostate cancer treatment outcomes (community- based case-case study assessing differences between prostate cancer in whites and blacks); (3) interventions to reduce disparities between black and white women in physicians' recommendations for mammography (community-based RCT); (4) community-based disease management for (5) service coordination for patients with HIV and STD infections (study of administrative coordination among agencies in rural areas and its relationship to health disparities); (6) racial concordance and outcomes of care for black patients with high blood pressure (secondary data analysis); and (7) measurement of functioning and well-being in minority populations (secondary data analysis). Taken together, these projects will substantially advance our understanding of both the etiology of and redress for current racial disparities in health.

塞西尔·G·谢普斯中心和北卡罗来纳州大学的健康成果方案提议建立一个克服种族差异的卓越中心。CEORHD将集中一个多样化和独特的研究社区的专业知识，研究导致获得护理和护理结果不平等的原因和促成因素。我们将与两个历史上黑色的北卡罗来纳州大学，NC中央和邵氏大学，在两个研究项目，并通过研究培训联系。我们将设立两个核心小组：行政和方法核心小组和数据管理核心小组。我们将得到一个外部咨询委员会和一个内部小组的协助，以帮助解决培训问题。在计划的5年内，我们将完成7个研究项目。这些项目将共享研究基础设施，并有助于在斯坦福大学，NCCU和肖的研究研讨会。我们感兴趣的临床领域是了解和消除黑人成年人中成人癌症和其他慢性病的健康差异，特别关注农村黑人人口：（1）直肠癌的种族差异（基于社区的病例对照研究）;（2）前列腺癌治疗结局的种族差异（基于社区的病例-病例研究，评估白人和黑人前列腺癌之间的差异）;（3）采取干预措施，减少黑人和白色妇女在医生建议进行乳房X线检查方面的差异（基于社区的随机对照试验）;（4）基于社区的疾病管理（5）艾滋病毒和性病感染患者的服务协调（研究农村地区机构之间的行政协调及其与健康差距的关系）;（6）种族一致性和黑人高血压患者护理的结果（二次数据分析）;（7）衡量少数群体的功能和福祉（二次数据分析）。总之，这些项目将大大提高我们的病因和纠正目前的种族差异的健康的理解。
