项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Congregational involvement has been promoted as a way to help reduce health disparities among African Americans and Latinos in the U.S; however, the multifaceted health needs found in many urban areas, as well as the complex set of factors leading to health inequalities, mean that broad and sustainable, multi- ethnic, multi-denominational faith and health partnerships are needed. The goal of this project is to build a network of African-American and Latino congregational leaders, public health partners, and researchers to jointly reduce disparities in South Los Angeles (LA). The specific aims of the project are: 1) Develop a sustainable faith and public health partnership to build capacity to address health disparities experienced by Latinos and African Americans; 2) Jointly develop an intervention to leverage congregational and public health resources toward the goal of reducing disparities in outcomes for Latinos and African Americans for an identified health condition; 3) Pilot test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention among African American and Latino congregations. The specific health condition and intervention strategy used will be defined by a Steering Committee composed of key denominational and inter-denominational associations and public health entities serving South Los Angeles, together with researchers at the RAND Corporation and its primary community partner, Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches (LAM); based on initial input, the focus will likely be on one of three health issues: cancer, obesity, or HIV. The study will be collaborative throughout all stages, and we will develop strategies to strengthen the partnership's capacity to address health disparities beyond the focus on this initial condition. The partnership is innovative in bringing together religious, public health, and research organizations to address health disparities jointly and in using novel techniques for soliciting community input. Further, it emphasizes mutual capacity building and sustainability so that researchers are better able to design and evaluate interventions; congregations gain knowledge about community health issues and skills in conducting health programs; and public health practitioners contribute to and learn from the development of best practices in promoting community health. RELEVANCE: This will be the first multi-ethnic, multi-denominational faith and public health research partnership that aims to reduce health disparities in an on-going and interactive fashion and using novel techniques to obtain community input. This effort will lead to an in-depth understanding of diverse faith community perspectives on health disparities and the potential for addressing them through congregation-based programming.

描述（由申请人提供）：促进了会众参与，以帮助减少美国非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲人的健康差异；但是，在许多城市地区都发现了多方面的健康需求，以及导致健康不平等的复杂因素，这意味着需要广泛，可持续的，多民族，多宗教信仰的信仰和健康伙伴关系。该项目的目的是建立一个由非裔美国人和拉丁裔公理，公共卫生合作伙伴和研究人员组成的网络，以共同减少南洛杉矶（LA）的差异。该项目的具体目的是：1）建立一种可持续的信仰和公共卫生合作伙伴关系，以建立解决拉丁美洲人和非裔美国人经历的健康差异的能力； 2）共同开发一种干预措施来利用公众和公共卫生资源，以减少拉丁裔和非裔美国人的成果差异，以确定健康状况； 3）试点测试非裔美国人和拉丁裔会众的干预措施的可行性和可接受性。所使用的特定健康状况和干预策略将由指导委员会定义，该指导委员会由主要的宗派和宗派间协会以及为南洛杉矶提供服务的公共卫生实体，以及Rand Corporation及其主要社区伙伴洛杉矶大都会教堂（LAM）的研究人员；根据初始意见，重点可能是三个健康问题之一：癌症，肥胖或艾滋病病毒。这项研究将在整个阶段进行协作，我们将制定策略，以增强合作伙伴关系的能力，以解决对这种初始状况的关注之外的健康差异。该伙伴关系具有创新的宗教，公共卫生和研究组织共同解决健康差异，并使用新颖的技术来征集社区意见。此外，它强调相互能力建设和可持续性，以便研究人员能够更好地设计和评估干预措施；会众获得有关社区健康问题和进行健康计划的技能的知识；公共卫生从业人员为促进社区健康的最佳实践做出了贡献和学习。相关性：这将是第一个多种族，多宗教信仰的信仰和公共卫生研究伙伴关系，旨在以持续和互动的方式减少健康差异，并使用新颖的技术获得社区意见。这项努力将使人们深入了解对健康差异的各种信仰社区观点，并通过基于会众的节目来解决这些差异。
