社区参与外展核心（CEOC）将专注于参与奥兰治堡县地区 社区支持一个基础设施，公布的发展和可持续性的方案， 服务和资源，以开发，实施和评估以社区为基础的计划，服务， 资源，并开展与《千年宣言》总主题有关的以社区为基础的参与性研究， CCE-SPHERE：少数群体的健康和与人体免疫缺陷病毒（艾滋病毒）/后天免疫缺陷病毒（艾滋病）有关的健康差距 免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）、人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）/宫颈癌和其他HPV介导的 癌的由于所有这些都是具有严重健康后果的性传播感染， CEOC将积极让社区参与制定和实施文化敏感和 语言上适当的方案、资源和研究，以消除发病率方面的健康差距， 通过以社区为基础的进程和利用现有的 社区的资产。CEOC在社区的领导下，将寻求在社区之间建立桥梁， 向CCE-SPHERE和南卡罗来纳州大学（USC）和克拉夫林的机构资源提供资金 大学（CU），以消除艾滋病毒/艾滋病和癌症的健康差距。减少"发现-交付" 断开"和促进翻译什么是已知的，什么是学到的社区，如所描述的 Freeman和Reuben，是这项提案和项目的重要组成部分，旨在消除健康差距。'^ 在整个CEOC提案中，使用的术语“社区”包括几个不同的人群 和个人在奥兰治堡县的地理环境。这些人包括生活在 艾滋病毒/艾滋病和HPV，地区居民，癌症幸存者，医疗和公共卫生界的成员， 宗教领袖以及社区组织和政府组织的成员。调查人员正在 期待这个“社区”的成员帮助我们了解社区的需求和资产， 成功地建立与CCE-SPHERE资源的联系。消除发病率方面的健康差距， 性传播感染的诊断和治疗需要在文化上敏感、语言上适当的公共卫生努力; 社区参与和支持;汇集资源;以及公平获得优质保健。这 将通过扩展当前COE的工作来实现，这些工作导致了社区的建立 咨询小组（CAG）将过渡到社区咨询委员会，以指导CEOC的工作; 让社区参与发现过程;提供计划、服务和资源;将 机构资源;以及外联工作（论坛、重点小组、全体会议）。

The Community Engagement Outreach Core (CEOC) will focus on engaging the Orangeburg County area community to support an infrastructure that promulgates the development and sustainability of programs, services, and resources, to develop, implement, and evaluate community-based programs, services, and resources, and to conduct community-based participatory research related to the overarching theme of the CCE-SPHERE: minority health and health disparities related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), human papillomavirus (HPV)/cervical cancer, and other HPV-mediated cancers. As all of these are sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with serious health outcomes, the goal of the CEOC is to actively involve the community in the development and implementation of culturally sensitive and linguistically-appropriate programs, resources and research to eliminate health disparities in the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases through community-based processes and building upon existing assets in the community. The CEOC, under leadership from the community, will seek to bridge the community to the CCE-SPHERE and institutional resources of the University of South Carolina (USC) and Claflin University (CU) to eliminate HIV/AIDS and cancer health disparities. Reducing the "discovery-delivery disconnect" and promoting translation of what is known and what is learned to the community, as described by Freeman and Reuben, is an important part of this proposal and project and to eliminate health disparities.^'^ Throughout the CEOC proposal, the use of the term "community" includes several different groups of people and individuals within the geographic context of Orangeburg County. These include people living with HIV/AIDS and HPV, area residents, cancer survivors, members of the medical and public health community, faith-based leaders, and members of community-based and government organizations. The investigators are looking to the members of this "community" to help us understand the needs and assets of the community to successfully create linkages to the CCE-SPHERE resources. Eliminating health disparities in the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of STIs will require culturally sensitive, linguistically appropriate public health efforts; community involvement and support; pooling of resources; and equitable access to quality health care. This will be achieved through expansion of the current COE efforts that led to the establishment of a Community Advisory Group (CAG) that will transition into a Community Advisory Board to guide the efforts of the CEOC; engaging the community in the discovery process; delivering programs, services, and resources; linking the community to the institutional resources; and outreach efforts (forums, focus groups, town hall meetings).
