The long term objective of this application is to reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities in the U. S. Virgin Islands. The Division of Nursing, University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) proposes to establish The Caribbean EXPLORATORY Center for Research ans Education on Health Disparities (CaRE-HD) in the U. S. Virgin Islands. The specific aims of the Exploratory Center are to: 1)provide the administrative structure, coordination and resources to facilitate cohesive functioning of the Center for research and education on health disparities; 2)expand the initial efforts of the Caribbean EXPORT Center for Research and Education on Health Disparities ; 3)strengthen the research preparation and expertise of tmembers of the UVI faculty, students and community in health disparities research; 4)enable academic, institutional and community partners to evaluate interventions designed to improve the health of Virgin Islanders. A very sparse literature suggests that residents of the U. S. Virgin Islands are burdened with the same health disparities identified in health disparity populations on the mainland U. S. Few studies have described factors that might be associated with reported prevalence rates for health disparities in the territory. The population of the U.S. Virgin Islands, while multicultural and diverse, is 76% black (African American, Afro Caribbean), 10% white, and 14% Hispanic. Access to care, lack of health insurance, low levels of education, high levels of poverty and a growing immigrantpopulation may represent significant barriers to health care, health promotion and prevention activities in the Virgin Islands. The proposed exploratory research center will provide opportunities for a concerted focus on these complex variables as well as the unique intersections of island history, context, culture, demographics, socioeconomic status and other factors that might contirbute to lealth disparities within the islands. Four continuing pilot studies and abstracts for 7 proposed pilot studies and one full study on health disparities are included in this application. The Division of Nursing, University of he Virgin Islands, is the only program in the territory offering a degree in one of the health professions, and s uniquely suited to continue this highly significant public health imperative in the region underrepresented in iealth disparities research.

这项应用的长期目标是减少并最终消除美国的健康差距。S. 维京群岛维尔京群岛大学（UVI）护理系建议设立 美国加勒比海健康差异研究与教育探索中心（Care-HD）。 S.维京群岛探索中心的具体目标是：1）提供行政结构， 协调和资源，以促进研究和教育中心的协调运作， 健康差距; 2）扩大加勒比出口研究和教育中心的初步努力 3）加强研究准备和UVI教师的专业知识， 学生和社区的健康差距研究; 4）使学术，机构和社区 与其他伙伴合作，评估旨在改善维尔京群岛居民健康的干预措施。一个非常稀疏的文献 这表明，美国的居民。S.维尔京群岛也面临着同样的健康差距， 美国大陆人口的健康差距。S.很少有研究描述了可能导致 与报告的领土内健康差距的流行率有关。美国的人口 维尔京群岛，虽然多元文化和多样性，是76%的黑人（非洲裔美国人，非洲裔加勒比），10%白色， 和14%的西班牙裔。获得医疗保健、缺乏医疗保险、教育水平低、贫困程度高 不断增长的移民人口可能是医疗保健、健康促进和 在维尔京群岛开展预防活动。拟议的探索性研究中心将提供 有机会协调一致地关注这些复杂的变量以及岛屿的独特交叉点， 历史、背景、文化、人口统计学、社会经济地位和其他可能导致 岛屿内部的贫富差距。4项持续试点研究和7项拟议试点研究的摘要 一项关于健康差距的全面研究也包括在本申请中。护理学系 维尔京群岛，是该领土上唯一提供卫生专业学位的课程， 在代表性不足的地区， 健康差距研究。
