Village Interventions and Venues for Action II (VIVA II): Dissemination and Imple

描述（由申请人提供）：新墨西哥州预防研究中心（PRC）致力于消除健康差异并减轻慢性病负担。PRC研究如何通过翻译，传播和实施研究将证据与实践和政策联系起来。为了满足社区需求和CDC的优先事项，我们将研究和奖学金的重点放在减轻肥胖（可赢得的战斗1），糖尿病，心血管疾病和某些癌症的负担上。我们的承诺是调查和发现解决代表性不足的人口，特别是生活在资源不足的农村社区的美洲印第安人和西班牙裔人所经历的疾病负担的方法。具体而言，我们解决了慢性病的潜在风险因素，在这些人群中具有很高的患病率。利用我们完善的基础设施，多学科的研究团队，强大的 鉴于我们的伙伴关系和经证实的成就记录，我们提议根据我们先前研究的结果，调查、扩大和传播在农村社区最有效和最可行的办法。我们计划研究以证据为基础的战略的传播和实施（D&I）过程，以增加身体活动，改善营养，促进无烟生活。我们将我们的研究项目称为“村庄干预和行动场所二”，以表明我们拟议的研究既是我们2010-2014年研究项目“村庄干预和行动场所二”的继续，也是对该项目的重大扩展和扩大。我们与古巴、新墨西哥州的伙伴成功合作，对《社区预防服务指南》中5项循证建议的翻译、传播和执行情况进行了评估。PRC计划继续并扩大现有的研究（测试站点），通过卫生理事会伙伴关系将其成功的战略推广到全国农村社区（邻近传播），在关键组织伙伴的帮助下在全州范围内传播和实施战略（广泛应用），并研究其成功和失败的过程。在国家，州，社区和PRC优先事项的基础上，UNM PRC将通过扩大我们对D&I过程的知识和理解，解决将循证干预措施转化为实践的现有差距。我们将通过一项前瞻性研究的D&I的有效策略，以促进积极的生活，健康的饮食和无烟生活在三个种族，在新墨西哥州的农村人口。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): New Mexico's Prevention Research Center (PRC), is committed to eliminating health disparities and reducing the burden of chronic disease. The PRC examines how to link evidence to practice and policy through translation, dissemination, and implementation research. In response to community needs and CDC priorities, we focus our research and scholarship on reducing the burden of obesity (Winnable Battles1), diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Our commitment is to investigate and discover solutions to the burden of disease experienced by under-represented populations, especially American Indians and Hispanics, living in under-resourced rural communities. Specifically, we address the underlying risk factors for chronic diseases that have high prevalence in these populations. Utilizing our well-established infrastructure, multidisciplinary research team, strong partnerships and proven record of accomplishments, we propose to investigate, expand and disseminate what is most effective and feasible in rural communities based upon the findings of our prior research. We plan to study the process of dissemination and implementation (D&I) of evidence-based strategies for increasing physical activity, improving nutrition, and promoting tobacco free living. We are calling our research project Village Interventions and Venues for Action II, (VIVA II) to indicate that our proposed study is both a continuation, and major expansion and scaling-up of VIVA-Step into Cuba, our 2010-2014 research project. We have worked successfully with partners in Cuba, New Mexico to evaluate the translation, dissemination and implementation of 5 evidence-based recommendations from the Guide to Community Preventive Services. The PRC plans to continue and expand the existing study (Beta Site), scale up its successful strategies to rural communities county-wide (Proximity Spread) through a health council partnership, disseminate and implement strategies state-wide (Widespread Application) with the help of key organizational partners, and study the process for its successes and failures. Building on national, state, community and PRC priorities, the UNM PRC will address existing gaps in translating evidence-based interventions into practice by expanding our knowledge and understanding of the D&I process. We will do this through a prospective study of the D&I of effective strategies to promote active living, healthy eating, and tobacco free living in tri-ethnic, rural populations in New Mexico.
