UC Berkeley Prevention Research Center

韩国社区咨询委员会(KCAB)和加州大学伯克利分校 (UCB)公共卫生学院寻求继续并扩大UCB预防研究中心--家庭和社区健康中心(CFCH)的范围。我们的使命是在学校校园附近的社区开展以社区为基础的健康促进和疾病预防研究，并向社区和更多受众传播这项研究的产品，以改善公共卫生实践和服务不足的社区的健康。为了完成我们的使命，我们将继续与当地公共卫生机构(阿拉米达县公共卫生部门、伯克利卫生部门)、州卫生部门(加州艾滋病办公室)和社区组织(东湾韩国社区中心、亚洲卫生服务)保持伙伴关系和合作。 CFCH将开展两个相关的核心项目：(1)要开发的示范性研究项目 并评估加利福尼亚州韩裔美国人(KA)男性基于互联网的戒烟干预措施；以及(2)基于信息的需求评估和传播项目，旨在增加对加州KA人群的行为风险和保护因素、医疗保健获得和健康状况的知识。这些项目反映了社区-大学伙伴关系的优先事项，以KCAB的兴趣和倡议为基础，并将在KCAB的全面参与下进行。基于对我们的中国不可或缺的活动所获得的信息，CFCH相信我们有责任解决与KA社区和我们校园周围的更大社区直接相关的其他问题。因此，该中心将与社区合作伙伴合作，以解决以下问题：KA心血管健康；南亚人的心血管健康和烟草使用；奥克兰(CA)中学生的哮喘管理；以及加州的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防。

The Korean Community Advisory Board (KCAB) and the University of Califomia, Berkeley (UCB) School of Public Health seek to continue and expand the scope of the UCB Prevention Research Center, the Center for Family and Community Health (CFCH). Our mission is to conduct community based health promotion and disease prevention research in communities that are contiguous to the School's campus and to disseminate the products of this research to the community and to larger audiences to improve public health practice and the health of underserved communities. To accomplish our mission, we will continue our partnerships and collaborations with local public health agencies (Alameda County Public Health Dept., Berkeley Health Dept.), the State Health Department (California Office of AIDS) and community-based organizations (Korean Community Center of the East Bay, Asian Health Services). CFCH will conduct two related Core Projects: (1) a demonstration research project to develop and evaluate an Internet-based smoking cessation intervention for Korean American (KA) males in California; and (2) a need's assessment and dissemination project based on information aimed to increase knowledge about behavioral risk and protective factors, healthcare access and health status among KAs in California. These projects reflect the priorities of the community-university partnership, are based on KCAB's interests and initiative and will be conducted with KCAB's full involvement. Based upon information derived from activities that have been integral to our PRC, CFCH believes we have a mandate to address other issues of direct interest to the KA community and to the larger community around our campus. Thus, the Center will collaborate with community partners to address: KA cardiovascular health; cardiovascular health and tobacco use among South Asians; asthma management for Oakland (CA) secondary school students; and HIV/AIDS prevention in California.
