Community Outreach Program

社区健康教育者(CHE)，建立在CNP与 国家癌症研究所、美国癌症协会、白血病和淋巴瘤协会、范德比尔特大学、田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校、孟菲斯大学等组织，以及田纳西州综合癌症控制联盟州和地区癌症控制联盟的成员、全州乳腺癌和宫颈癌早期检测计划的工作人员、州和地区烟草计划的工作人员以及当地机构和社区组织的其他长期合作伙伴(见附录E)将使用CBPR方法领导Meharry CNP 11的干预开发活动。S/他还将与研究和 帮助他们实现目标、目的和特定目的的培训计划。 我们期待着聘请一位有经验的工程师。世卫组织曾与NCI的癌症信息合作 服务(独联体)。因为NCI/独联体将于2010年初逐步淘汰。我们希望应聘者能够在我们的中心履行这一职责。然后，所有NCI循证资源都将可用于我们的计划。 社区外展方案提出了以下目标。 目标1.CNP中心指导的活动。使用以社区为基础的参与式方法，促进增加关于社区在Meharry CNP 1中确定的以下癌症健康差异问题的知识、态度和行为：乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌的筛查，关于前列腺癌筛查的知情决策，饮食和体育活动，戒烟和教育，以及每月癌症特别观察期间的社区教育。CNP 11还将增加关于临床试验和生物库的教育。将对过程、结果和影响措施进行评估。 目标2.NCI协调的活动。在新加强的全国癌症防治网络中发挥积极作用，促进使用癌症预防工具和循证方法，提高目标社区对癌症预防和早期发现和治疗建议的认识和采纳，并在国家癌症研究所指定的更广泛的地理区域内参与国家癌症研究所协调的传播工作。与中心指导的活动一样，过程和结果评估将是该计划的一个关键方面。

The Community Health Educator (CHE), building on the CNP's long standing partnerships with organizations such as the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Vanderbilt University, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the University of Memphis along with the membership of the state and regional cancer control coalitions ofthe Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition, the staff of the statewide breast and cervical cancer eariy detection program, the staff ofthe state and regional tobacco programs as well as other long standing collaborators from local agencies and community organizations (see Appendix E), - will lead in the intervention development activities of the Meharry CNP 11, using CBPR methods. S/he will also work in tandem with the research and training programs to help them achieve their goals, objectives, and specific aims. We are expecting to hire an experienced CHE. who has worked with the NCI's Cancer Information Service (CIS). Since the NCI/CIS is being phased out in eariy 2010. we expect that candidates will be available to fulfill this role in our Center. All the NCI evidence-based resources will then be available to our program. The following goals have been proposed for the community outreach program. Goal 1. CNP Center Directed Activities. Using a Community-Based Participatory Approach, facilitate an increase in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors on the following cancer health disparity issues identified by the community in the Meharry CNP 1: screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, informed decisionmaking about prostate cancer screening, diet and physical activity, tobacco cessation and education and community education during special monthly cancer observances. Additional areas to be added with CNP 11 are education about clinical trials and biobanking. Evaluation will be implemented for process, outcome, and impact measures. Goal 2. NCI-Coordinated Activities. Take an active role in the new enhanced NCl National Outreach Network to promote the use of NCl tools and evidence-based approaches, increase awareness and adoption of NCl recommendations on cancer prevention and eariy detection and treatments by the targeted communities, and participate in NCI-coordinated dissemination efforts in the wider geographic area designated by NCI. As with the Center-directed activities, process and outcome evaluation will be a key aspect ofthe program.
