Community Outreach Program

社区外展计划主要是一个服务计划，旨在教育和动员 社区采取行动预防和控制癌症。然而，它并没有脱离研究。 由MSM/TU/UABCCC伙伴关系进行，因为它将重要的研究成果传播给 并为开发以社区为基础的研究项目建立基础设施。 虽然所有三个外展计划(MSM、TU和UAB)都基于CHA的部署，但我们有 确定在每个地区建立相同的社区外展方案是不合适或不可行的 目标社区。社区外展本质上是地方性的。因此，虽然核心背景和原则 预防在所有三个外展方案中都是一致的，每个社区必须有能力和 致力于确立自己的优先事项和方向，学术机构必须做好准备 对这些特定的优先事项作出回应。因此，亚特兰大和阿拉巴马州两个目标地区的计划 发展的方式有些不同。 莫尔豪斯医学院社区外展计划的具体目标是： 1.在2001-2005年项目期间完成并在2005-2007年继续进行的工作的基础上， 开发并向佐治亚州服务不足社区的居民传播文化上合适的癌症 与该伙伴关系的研究直接相关的预防和控制信息以及其他癌症 以文化敏感的方式提供预防和控制信息。 2.与社区、教堂和当地社区组织合作，进行循证调查 癌症预防干预措施，并发展社区预防和控制癌症的能力。 3.建立社区网络，作为社区研究项目的基础设施。

The Community Outreach Program is primarily a service program that educates and mobilizes the community to take action to prevent and control cancer. However, it is not divorced from the research conducted by the MSM/TU/UABCCC Partnership, because it disseminates important research findings to the community and builds an infrastructure for the development of community-based research projects. Although all three outreach programs (MSM, TU, and UAB) are based on the deployment of CHAs, we have determined that it is not appropriate or feasible to establish identical community outreach programs in each target community. Community outreach is local in nature. Thus, while the core context and principles of prevention are consistent across all three outreach programs, each community must be capable and committed to establishing its own priorities and directions and the academic institutions must be prepared to respond to those specific priorities. Hence, the programs in Atlanta and the two Alabama target areas have developed somewhat differently. The specific aims of the Morehouse School of Medicine Community Outreach Program are: 1. Building on work accomplished during the 2001-2005 project period and continued during 2005-07, develop and disseminate to residents of underserved communities in Georgia culturally appropriate cancer prevention and control information directly related to the research of the partnership as well as other cancer prevention and control information presented in a culturally sensitive manner. 2. Partner with neighborhoods, churches, and local community organizations to conduct evidence-based cancer prevention interventions and to develop community capacity to prevent and control cancer. 3. Establish a community network to serve as an infrastructure for community-based research projects.
