DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Deep South Network for Cancer Control (DSNCC) focuses on some of the most impoverished and underserved areas in the US. The rural MS Delta, AL Black Belt and inner city of Birmingham, AL and Hattiesburg, Laurel, MS have exceptionally high rates of cancer mortality, cancer disparity and obesity. The DSNCC has for 9 yrs systematically addressed the major cancer health concerns of these areas. A community based infrastructure was established that in collaboration with three academic institutions addressed disparity in cervical and breast cancer screening and more recently in colorectal cancer screening, lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating. During this period we have expanded our community infrastructure in our targeted areas to include a Community Network Partnership (CNP) in each county. Building upon our community-academic partnership, our success in promoting cancer screening, increasing physical activity and incorporating healthy eating into churches, we have the following overall Specific Aims: 1-Through the Community Outreach Core, promote screening for breast, cervix, and colorectal cancer and increased physical activity and healthy eating through a community based participatory approach that includes development of a Community Action Plan that targets all levels of the socio-ecological model; 2- through the Research Core develop, implement, and evaluate the efficacy of a community-based, participatory, culturally-relevant intervention to reduce body weight among African American women residing in rural communities in the Deep South through a group randomized trial. Also, develop, implement, and disseminate the results of 3 pilot projects that address the needs of the community as well as the NCI requirements, with the first having a primary focus of addressing the need of revisiting the current colorectal cancer screening guidelines for African Americans; 3-through the Training Core train a cadre of new investigators who are committed to community based participatory research (CBPR) to eliminate cancer health disparities. The activities of these cores will be coordinated by an Administrative Core.

描述（由申请人提供）：深南癌症控制网络（DSNCC）专注于美国一些最贫困和服务不足的地区。农村三角洲，美国黑带和伯明翰内城，美国和哈蒂斯堡，劳雷尔，美国有异常高的癌症死亡率，癌症差异和肥胖率。9年来，DSNCC系统地处理了这些地区的主要癌症健康问题。建立了以社区为基础的基础设施，与三个学术机构合作，解决了宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查方面的差距，以及最近在结肠直肠癌筛查方面的差距、缺乏体育活动和不健康饮食问题。在此期间，我们扩大了目标地区的社区基础设施，包括在每个县建立社区网络伙伴关系（CNP）。基于我们与社区及学术界的合作，以及我们在推广癌症筛检、增加身体活动和将健康饮食纳入教会方面的成功，我们的整体目标如下：1 .通过社区外展核心，通过以社区为基础的参与性方法，包括制定针对社会生态模式各个层面的社区行动计划，促进乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌筛查，增加体育活动和健康饮食；2 -
