Asian Community Cancer Health Disparities Center (ACCHDC)

产品说明：作为对RFA CA-09-032的回应，天普大学亚洲健康中心提议建立一个区域性亚洲社区癌症健康差异中心（ACCHDC），通过社区外展、研究和培训，解决服务不足的亚裔美国人群体的癌症负担和合并症问题。拟议的中心建立在先前ATECAR SPN和ATECAR CNP-I周期期间培养的成功合作的基础上，由学术机构，社区组织和社区医疗保健提供者组成。ACCHDC将致力于减少癌症健康差距的总体目标，通过增加知识，获得和利用服务不足的亚裔美国人社区的有益生物医学和行为程序。这一目标将通过使用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）原则来指导中心的所有活动来实现，这些活动分为四个组成部分：行政核心（AC），社区外展计划（COP），研究计划（RP）和培训计划（TP）。AC将提供必要的行政，科学，计划和社区领导，并及时协调中心的运作。缔约方会议将侧重于在美国东部地区（宾夕法尼亚州、新泽西州和纽约市）的多种族和多语言亚裔社区中建立癌症控制能力，并增加癌症预防的知识和途径。根据RP，将进行一项大规模对照试验，以评估CBPR结直肠癌（CRC）干预措施在增加筛查，CRC知识，感知风险和易感性以及筛查益处方面的有效性，以及减少卫生系统筛查障碍。由一名初级研究者领导的试点研究将评估文化上适当的教育干预措施在增加参与B型肝炎生物标本研究的知识和意图方面的有效性，并检查与参与生物标本研究相关的文化因素。TP将制定和实施CBPR方法的综合研究培训计划，并为来自种族/少数民族和代表性不足的群体的初级研究人员提供指导和关键资源。中心团队成员在ATECAR SPN和CNP-I期间建立了成功的合作关系，与亚裔社区建立了牢固的合作伙伴关系，并致力于中心的使命，即减少服务不足的亚裔美国人的癌症健康差距。

DESCRIPTION: In response to RFA CA-09-032, the Center for Asian Health of Temple University proposes to establish a regional Asian Community Cancer Health Disparities Center (ACCHDC) to address the cancer burden and co-morbidities among underserved Asian American populations through community outreach, research, and training. The proposed Center builds upon the successful collaborations that were fostered during the previous ATECAR SPN and ATECAR CNP-I cycles and consists of academic institutions, community organizations, and community healthcare providers. The ACCHDC will work towards the overall goal of reducing cancer health disparities by increasing knowledge of, access to and utilization of beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures in underserved Asian American communities. This goal will be accomplished using community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles to guide all Center activities, which fall within four components: the Administrative Core (AC), Community Outreach Program (COP), Research Program (RP) and Training Program (TP). The AC will provide essential administrative, scientific, programmatic, and community leadership and timely coordination of Center operations. The COP will focus on building cancer control capacity and increasing knowledge and access to cancer prevention among the multi-ethnic and multilingual Asian communities in the eastern region of the US (PA, NJ and NYC). Under the RP, a large-scale controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a CBPR colorectal cancer (CRC) intervention in increasing screening, knowledge of, perceived risks of and susceptibility to CRC and benefits of screening, as well as reducing health system barriers to screening. The pilot study, led by a junior investigator, will evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally appropriate education intervention in increasing knowledge of and intent to participate in Hepatitis B biospecimen research and examining cultural factors associated with the participation in biospecimen research. The TP will develop and implement a comprehensive research training program in CBPR methods and provide mentorship and key resources to junior researchers from racial/ethnic minority and underrepresented groups. Center team members have forged successful collaborations during ATECAR SPN and CNP-I, have established strong partnerships with Asian communities and are dedicated to the Center's mission of reducing cancer health disparities in underserved Asian Americans.
