DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Morehouse School of Medicine Prevention Research Center (MSM PRC) seeks continuation funding for the 2009-2014 project period. The MSM PRC conducts interdisciplinary community-based research on prevention in African American and other minority communities, trains minority community-based researchers and public health practitioners, and demonstrates the value of community coalitions in conducting research. The Center is governed by a "Community Coalition Board" (CCB) that represents a partnership among Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs) V, X, Y, and Z, three academic institutions and six agencies (including state and local health departments). The bylaws of the CCB require majority of its membership reflect the community and that the Board Chair always be a community representative. The Center's overall goals are to conduct health promotion and disease prevention research that: 1. Focuses on the major causes of death and disability, especially those that lead to racial/ethnic health status disparities, by testing and demonstrating culturally appropriate health promotion interventions; 2. Improves public health practice within communities by promoting community control of programs and resources and building community capacity to promote health; 3. Cultivates more effective state and local public health programs by communicating and disseminating information on progressive and culturally appropriate approaches to health promotion and disease prevention; and 4. Prepares the next generation of minority translation research scientists, clinicians, prevention research scientists and public health practitioners by providing opportunities for medical students and graduate students in public health and in clinical research to participate in and learn from community-based participatory research projects and programs. Prevention Intervention: Meeting Them at the Gate (PIMTAG) is the Core Research Project for the Center. PIMTAG is a mixed method prevention intervention study that seeks to reduce the risk of primary HIV/STD infections of or by jailed African American males with a history of substance abuse re-entering Atlanta communities through the administration of an educationally based behavior modification intervention. RELEVANCE (See instructions): PIMTAG will impact public health by addressing the Healthy People (HP) 2010 HIV goal to prevent HIV infection and its related illness and death. The Project seeks to reduce the risk of primary HIV/STD infections of or by jailed African American males with a history of substance abuse. Targeted populations in both HP 2010 and PIMTAG Aims are persons disproportionately affected by HIV-African-American males.

描述(由申请人提供)：莫尔豪斯医学院预防研究中心(MSM PRC)为2009-2014年的项目期间寻求继续资助。MSM PRC在非裔美国人和其他少数族裔社区开展跨学科的社区预防研究，培训少数族裔社区研究人员和公共卫生从业人员，并展示社区联盟在开展研究中的价值。该中心由一个“社区联盟委员会”(CCB)管理，代表了V、X、Y和Z社区规划单位(NPU)、三个学术机构和六个机构(包括州和地方卫生部门)之间的伙伴关系。中国商业银行的章程要求其大多数成员反映社区，董事会主席始终是社区代表。该中心的总体目标是进行健康促进和疾病预防研究：1.通过测试和演示文化上适当的健康促进干预措施，重点关注死亡和残疾的主要原因，特别是那些导致种族/民族健康状况差异的原因；2.通过促进社区对方案和资源的控制和建设社区促进健康的能力，改善社区内的公共卫生做法；3.通过交流和传播关于进步的和文化上适当的健康促进和疾病预防方法的信息，培养更有效的州和地方公共卫生计划；培养下一代少数民族翻译研究科学家、临床医生、预防研究科学家和公共卫生从业人员，为公共卫生和临床研究领域的医学生和研究生提供参与和学习社区参与性研究项目和方案的机会。预防干预：在门口与他们见面(PIMTAG)是该中心的核心研究项目。PIMTAG是一项混合方法预防干预研究，旨在通过实施基于教育的行为矫正干预措施，降低有药物滥用史的被监禁非裔美国男性重新进入亚特兰大社区的原发艾滋病毒/性传播疾病感染的风险。相关性(见说明)：PIMTAG将通过实现2010年健康人(HP)艾滋病毒目标来影响公共卫生，以预防艾滋病毒感染及其相关疾病和死亡。该项目旨在降低有药物滥用史的被监禁非裔美国男子感染艾滋病毒/性传播疾病的风险。惠普2010年和PIMTAG目标的目标人群都是受艾滋病毒-非裔美国男性影响不成比例的人。
