Research Core

美国印第安人糖尿病预防中心研究核心将监督该中心在俄克拉荷马州美洲印第安人部落社区关于糖尿病的健康差异研究方面的主要倡议。 作为这一核心的一部分，提交的建议强调了该中心的跨学科性质，包括基础科学、临床和社会行为研究努力。在研究核心的赞助下包括三个完整的研究分项目。这项拟议的研究考察了导致美国印第安人年轻人群糖尿病健康差距的生物和社会行为因素，将研究进展从BASE转化为临床实践，再到社区，从而探索如何将研究结果转化为美国印第安人健康差距的明显改善。 参与的部落国家和AIDPC合作伙伴俄克拉荷马城地区部落间健康委员会(OCAITHB)是将这项研究的结果传播给部落卫生方案的渠道，以便将其用于临床服务。翻译调查结果的其他渠道是专业会议、期刊文章和AIDPC的网站。

The American Indian diabetes Prevention Center Research Core will oversee the main initiatives of the center in regard to health disparities research on diabetes in Oklahoma American Indian tribal communities. Proposals submitted as a part of this core emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the center, and include basic science, clinical, and social-behavioral research endeavors. Included under the auspices of the Research Core are three full research sub-projects. The proposed research examines biological and socio-behavioral factors contributing to diabetes health disparities in the younger age cohorts of the American Indian population, translating research advances from bench, to clinical practice, to communities, thus exploring ways in which findings can be converted into discernable improvements in health disparities for American Indian populations. The tribal Nations involved and the AIDPC partner, the Oklahoma City Area Inter-tribal Health Board (OCAITHB), are outlets for dissemination of the findings of this research to tribal health programs for its use in clinical service. Other outlets for translation of the findings are professional meetings, journal articles, and the web site of the AIDPC.
