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(由申请者提供)：深南癌症控制网络(DSNCC)专注于美国一些最贫困和服务最少的地区。密苏里州的农村三角洲、AL黑带和内城的伯明翰、阿拉巴马州的哈蒂斯堡和劳雷尔的哈蒂斯堡的癌症死亡率、癌症差异和肥胖率都非常高。9年来，DSNCC系统地解决了这些地区的主要癌症健康问题。建立了一个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以及最近在结直肠癌筛查、缺乏体力活动和不健康饮食方面的差距。在此期间，我们在目标地区扩大了社区基础设施，在每个县建立了社区网络伙伴关系(CNP)。在我们的社区-学术伙伴关系的基础上，我们在促进癌症筛查、增加体力活动和将健康饮食纳入教会方面取得了成功，我们有以下总体具体目标：1-通过社区外展核心，促进乳腺癌、子宫颈癌和结直肠癌的筛查，并通过基于社区的参与性方法增加体力活动和健康饮食，其中包括制定一项针对所有社会生态模式的社区行动计划；2- 通过Research Core开发、实施和评估以社区为基础、 参与性的、与文化相关的干预措施，通过一组随机试验，减轻居住在南方腹地农村社区的非裔美国妇女的体重。此外，制定、实施和传播3个试点项目的结果，以满足社区的需求以及国家癌症研究所的要求，第一个项目的主要重点是解决重新审查当前非裔美国人结直肠癌筛查指南的需要；3-通过培训核心培训一支致力于社区参与性研究(CBPR)的新调查人员干部队伍，以消除癌症健康差距。这些核心的活动将由一个行政核心协调。
