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

描述(申请人提供)：新墨西哥州预防研究中心(中国)致力于消除健康差距，减轻慢性病负担。中华人民共和国研究如何通过翻译、传播和实施研究将证据与实践和政策联系起来。为了响应社区需求和疾控中心的优先事项，我们将我们的研究和学术重点放在减轻肥胖症、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寻找解决方案，以解决代表不足的人口，特别是生活在资源不足的农村社区的美国印第安人和拉美裔美国人所经历的疾病负担。具体地说，我们解决了在这些人群中发病率较高的慢性病的潜在风险因素。利用我们完善的基础设施、多学科的研究团队、强大的 考虑到合作伙伴关系和已证实的成就记录，我们建议根据我们先前的研究结果，调查、扩大和传播在农村社区最有效和最可行的做法。我们计划研究循证战略的传播和实施(D&I)过程，以增加体力活动、改善营养和促进无烟草生活。我们将我们的研究项目命名为乡村干预和行动地点II(Viva II)，以表明我们拟议的研究既是我们2010-2014年研究项目Viva-Step Into Cube的延续，也是其主要扩展和扩大。我们与古巴、新墨西哥州的合作伙伴成功地合作，评估了《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。中国计划继续和扩大现有的研究(Beta站点)，通过卫生理事会伙伴关系将其成功的战略扩大到全县的农村社区(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、社区和中华人民共和国优先事项的基础上，UNM PRC将通过扩大我们对D&I过程的知识和理解，解决将循证干预转化为实践方面的现有差距。我们将通过对新墨西哥州三族农村人口促进积极生活、健康饮食和无烟生活的有效战略的D&I前瞻性研究来实现这一点。

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.
