RESEARCH CORE

研究核心概述 这个心血管疾病和糖尿病研究核心的目标是进行严格的基于社区的研究 将主要导致缩小弱势群体的差距，但同时也提供 改善对社区的服务，回答重要的科学问题，为培训 年轻的少数族裔研究人员在心血管疾病方面的差距，并在社区建设研究能力。主 研究核心的研究项目是解决拉丁裔队列中的心血管健康差异；其 主要研究计划提出了一项随机临床试验，评估2种文化合适的药物的疗效 国家胆固醇教育计划(NCEP)指南的应用方法。这项研究将采用 每个合作机构的专门知识，以最大限度地为以拉丁裔为主的社区带来好处。 SYHC(社区卫生中心，有一个研究中心，专注于健康差距) 协作)、SDSL(研究密集型行为科学中心)和UCSD(研究密集型 临床设施)将在现有关系的基础上进行拟议的研究，利用 流行病学、行为学和遗传学研究，努力促进协调、全面、 跨学科和有重点的研究工作，以改善向贫困的拉丁裔高危人群提供的护理 以及心血管疾病。这项研究将建立一个成年拉丁裔队列，他们是 SYHC，将进行横断面研究和干预。 除了监督这一主要研究项目外，研究核心还将协调试点 该中心还负责开展项目，并对中心所有与研究有关的活动提供一般监督和指导。琳达博士 行为和社区健康研究中心联席主任加洛将担任校长 研究核心的调查员，并将监督主要研究项目在 SYHC教授介绍了她在心血管差异研究方面的专长。加洛博士将协调活动以 加强SYHC拉美裔研究和健康促进中心的研究基础设施 大学社区合作伙伴已经在进行的研究工作。她将与Dr. Allison(加州大学圣迭戈分校的PI)和Quintana博士(SYHC的PI)实施所有研究活动。

Overview of the Research Core The goal of this CVD and diabetes Research Core is to conduct rigorous community-based research that will primarily lead to reduction in disparities for disadvantaged populations but at the same time provide improved service to the community, answer important scientific questions, provide a setting for training of young minority investigators in CVD disparities, and build research capacity in the community. The main research project of the Research Core is addresses cardiovascular health disparities in a Latino cohort; its main research plan proposes a randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of 2 culturally appropriate methods for applying the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines. The study will employ the expertise of each collaborating institution to maximize the benefits for the predominately Latino community. The SYHC (the Community Health Center with a research center focused on the health disparities collaborative), SDSL) (the research intensive behavioral science center), and UCSD (the research intensive clinical facility) will build on existing relationships to conduct the proposed study, using expertise in epidemiologic, behavioral and genetic research in an effort to promote a coordinated, comprehensive, interdisciplinary and focused research effort to improve the care being delivered to indigent Latinos at-risk for and with CVD. This research study will establish a cohort of adult Latinos who are registered patients of the SYHC, where cross-sectional studies and interventions will be carried out. In addition to overseeing this main research project, the Research Core will also coordinate the pilot projects and provide general oversight and guidance for all research-related activities of the Center. Dr. Linda Gallo, Co-Director of the Center for Behavioral and Community Health Studies, will serve as Principal Investigator for the Research Core, and will oversee the implementation of the main research project at the SYHC, lending her expertise in cardiovascular disparities research. Dr. Gallo will coordinate activities to strengthen the research infrastructure at the SYHC Center for Latino Research and Health Promotion, blending the research efforts already taking place by the university community partners. She will collaborate with Dr. Allison (PI at UCSD) and Dr. Quintana (PI at SYHC) to implement all research activities.
