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大学健康成果项目提议建立一个克服种族差异卓越中心。CEORHD将集中一个多样化和独特的研究界的专业知识，研究导致护理机会不平等和结果不平等的原因和促成因素。我们将与北卡罗来纳州两所历史悠久的黑人大学——北卡罗来纳中央大学（NC Central）和肖大学（Shaw University）——在研究项目和研究培训方面进行合作。我们将建立两个核心小组：行政和方法核心和数据管理核心。我们将得到一个外部咨询委员会和一个内部小组的协助，协助解决培训问题。在计划项目的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，并为北卡罗来纳大学、北卡罗来纳大学和邵逸夫大学的研究研讨会做出贡献。我们感兴趣的临床领域是理解和消除黑人成人癌症和其他慢性疾病的健康差异，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)前列腺癌治疗结果的种族差异（基于社区的病例研究评估白人和黑人前列腺癌的差异）；(3)减少黑人和白人女性在医生推荐乳房x光检查方面差异的干预措施（基于社区的随机对照试验）；(4)以社区为基础的疾病管理；(5)对艾滋病和性病患者的服务协调（农村地区机构间行政协调及其与健康差距的关系研究）；(6)黑人高血压患者的种族一致性与护理结果（二次数据分析）；(7)衡量少数民族的功能和福祉（二手数据分析）。总的来说，这些项目将大大促进我们对目前健康方面种族差异的病因和纠正的理解。
