DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Faith-Academic Initiatives for Transforming Health (FAITH) in the Delta will bring together academics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science (UAMS) (Colleges of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing) and community faith leaders and organizations in two counties in the Delta (Jefferson and Phillips Counties), one ofthe most economically disadvantaged areas of the county. Building on previous community-academic partnerships, the project will involve sharing "best practices" methods (developed in previous partnered work) across counties and moving forward a planning process for a new intervention in each of the two counties. Using a "pure" concept of CBPR, community experts will select a health area for intervention and will be matched with UAMS academics experts who can provide guidance. Community members will receive education about health policy related to their chosen health area and academics will receive training from community experts about partnered research. RELEVANCE: Rural African Americans suffer a "double dose" of health disparities related to both race and rural residency. Disparities are especially severe in the Arkansas Delta region, which is disproportionally affected by poverty. This planning project will build upon longstanding community-academic partnerships to plan for health interventions in two Delta counties (Jefferson and Phillips counties). "Best practices" will be disseminated across counties.

描述（由申请人提供）：在三角洲的信仰学术倡议，为改变健康（信仰）将汇集学者在阿肯色州医学科学大学（UAMS）（医学，公共卫生和护理学院）和社区信仰领袖和组织在三角洲的两个县（杰斐逊和菲利普斯县），县的经济最落后的地区之一。该项目将在以前社区-学术界伙伴关系的基础上，在各州分享“最佳做法”方法（在以前的合作工作中制定的），并在两个州的每一个州推进新干预措施的规划进程。使用CBPR的“纯”概念，社区专家将选择一个健康领域进行干预，并将与UAMS的学术专家谁可以提供指导相匹配。社区成员将接受与他们选择的卫生领域有关的卫生政策教育，学者将接受社区专家关于合作研究的培训。 相关性：农村非洲裔美国人遭受了与种族和农村居住有关的“双重剂量”的健康差距。在受贫困影响的阿肯色州三角洲地区，这种差距尤其严重。该规划项目将建立在长期的社区-学术伙伴关系的基础上，以规划两个三角洲县（杰斐逊县和菲利普斯县）的卫生干预措施。“最佳做法”将在各州推广。
