Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers: Special Interests Projects Supp.

 描述(申请人提供)：慢性病是造成全球疾病总负担的主要因素，也是全世界过早发病和死亡的主要原因。慢性病每年约占全球死亡人数的63%，而中低收入国家(LMIC)的慢性病死亡率高达80%。2010至2020年间，全球慢性病死亡人数将增加15%。如果社区能够获得初级卫生保健资源，过早死亡和生活质量下降是可以预防的情况。地方背景和政策强烈影响在资源匮乏的环境中采取干预措施。虽然大多数国家(92%)至少制定了一项应对慢性病的政策、战略或计划，但只有79%的国家认为这项政策是可行的，只有71%的国家报告有专门的资金用于执行有关慢性病的政策。全球和全境卫生研究网络的建立体现了有效解决诸如慢性病等重大全球公共卫生问题所需的那种协作。伊利诺伊州预防研究中心(IPRC)寻求作为该网络的合作中心参与，并与全球合作机构、其社区和其他合作伙伴合作，在个人、组织、环境和政策层面制定、实施、评估和传播健康促进干预措施、研究、政策和实践，以减轻慢性病负担。IPRC提出了一种全球卫生伙伴关系模式，该模式促进社区之间的联系，并建立与当地情况相适应的现有初级卫生保健服务资源之间的联系，以便分享和应用关于如何在有需要的人群中加强获取和改善健康状况的经验教训。具体地说，伙伴关系模式将用于评估通过社区参与办法在地方一级产生的卫生政策的横向和纵向规模。IPRC为该网络带来的众多杰出资源包括：在预防举措的制定、实施和评估方面与国内和国际合作伙伴成功合作的历史；一支卓有成效的预防研究人员团队，在与全球卫生相关的多个研究和评估领域拥有成熟的记录；建立了由协作部门和组织组成的校园网络，以促进研究规划、转换工具的开发，以及快速采用、实施和维护行之有效的全球慢性病推广计划和战略。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic diseases are a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease and are a major cause of premature morbidity and mortality worldwide. Chronic disease accounts for approximately 63% of global deaths annually and low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately burdened with 80% of chronic disease mortality. Between 2010 and 2020 deaths from chronic disease will increase by 15% globally. Premature death and diminished quality of life are preventable conditions if primary health care resources are accessible to communities. Local context and policy strongly influences the adoption of interventions in low- resource settings. While most countries (92%) have developed at least one policy, strategy or plan to address chronic disease, only 79% consider the policy to be operational and only 71% report having dedicated funding for policy implementation concerning chronic disease. The establishment of the Global and Territorial Health Research Network exemplifies the type of collaboration needed to effectively address critical global public health problems such as chronic disease. The Illinois Prevention Research Center (IPRC) seeks to participate as a collaborating center of the Network and to collaborate with global partner institutions, their communities, and other partners to develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate health promotion interventions, research, policies and practices at the individual, organizational, environmental, and policy levels to reduce chronic disease burden. The IPRC proposes a global health partnership model that fosters linkages among communities and existing primary health care service resources that are responsive to local contexts such that lessons can be shared and applied regarding how access is enhanced and health status can be improved in populations of need. Specifically, the partnership model will be used to assess the horizontal and vertical scaling of health policy originating at the local level through community participatory approach. Among the many outstanding resources that the IPRC brings to the Network are: a history of successful collaborations with domestic and international partners in the development, implementation, and evaluation of prevention initiatives; an accomplished team of highly productive prevention researchers with established records in numerous areas of research and evaluation relevant to global health; an established campus-wide network of collaborating departments and organizations to facilitate research planning, the development of translational tools, and rapid adoption, implementation, and maintenance of proven programs and strategies for global chronic disease promotion.
