DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines health disparities as the "differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of diseases and other adverse health conditions that exist among specific population groups in the United States." Accumulated data now shows that frequently noted disparities are those between ethnic, racial, and income groups. However other factors also determine health outcomes and include age, disability, gender, geographic location, ability to speak English and other social, environmental and psychological factors. Even policies governing violence - domestic, gun and gang, which is very prevalent in our target area - have a fairly significant impact on disparities. The NIMHD is committed to the challenge of closing the gap in health care across social, ethnic, and racial groups in the U.S. To assist NIMHD in achieving this goal, the Health Research Policy Consortium (HPRC) project will establish Transdisciplinary Collaborative Centers (TCCs) that draw upon regional coalitions of academic institutions, community organizations, providers, and government to focus on priority research. The approach includes the following: (1) Establish regular channels of communication with stakeholders. (2) Oversee patient acquisition. (3) Leverage the power of Information Communication and Technology. (4) Identify specific metrics for the chosen disease area. (5) Regularly conduct periodic meetings and produce outcome analysis. (6) Report and upload the results to NIMHD for Congress. The TCCs will provide the practical steps on how evidence for addressing health disparities could be translated into practice, thus bridging the gap between surveillance and healthcare delivery and policy outcomes. The TCCs will focus on Prince George's County (PG County), MD, in particular, and will also broaden its scope to the Tri-state - DMV (DC, MD, VA) within Region III (VA, MD, DC, DE, PA, and WV). Cardiac Heart Diseases (CHD) is a chronic condition among the affected population groups in the region and is the disease area the TCC will study first. As a microcosm of the larger American landscape the areas will provide the TCC with diverse communities that have higher rates of morbidity and mortality across a broad range of disease conditions. The Pilot program is representative of American urban areas and, as such, will allow the pilot to be easily ported as a sustainable model with high predictive reliability across other high minority urban areas. RELEVANCE: The HPRC project will establish TCCs to examine how health policies impede the access of ethnic and racial minorities to adequate and affordable health care. The TCCs will do this by first researching CHD in PG County, leveraging Information Technology to gather valuable data with the cooperation of community-based groups and healthcare providers. The TCCs will then make policy recommendations that will foster the reduction and elimination of disparities in health care.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）将健康差异定义为“美国特定人群中存在的疾病和其他不良健康状况的发病率、患病率、死亡率和负担的差异。“现在积累的数据表明，经常注意到的差距是民族、种族和收入群体之间的差距。然而，其他因素也决定健康结果，包括年龄，残疾，性别，地理位置，英语口语能力和其他社会，环境和心理因素。即使是关于暴力-家庭暴力、枪支和帮派暴力-在我们的目标地区非常普遍-的政策也对不平等产生相当大的影响。 NIMHD致力于缩小美国社会，民族和种族群体之间医疗保健的差距的挑战。为了帮助NIMHD实现这一目标，健康研究政策联盟（HPRC）项目将建立跨学科合作中心（TCC），利用学术机构，社区组织，供应商和政府的区域联盟，专注于优先研究。该方法包括以下内容：（1）建立与利益相关者的定期沟通渠道。(2)监督患者采集。(3)充分利用信息通信和技术的力量。(4)确定所选疾病领域的具体指标。(5)定期召开定期会议并进行成果分析。(6)将结果报告并上传至NIMHD供国会使用。部队派遣国将提供实际步骤，说明如何将解决健康差距的证据转化为实践，从而弥合监测和保健提供与政策结果之间的差距。TCC将重点关注马里兰州的乔治王子县（PG县），并将其范围扩大到第三区（弗吉尼亚州、马里兰州、华盛顿州、特拉华州、宾夕法尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州）内的三州DMV（华盛顿州、马里兰州、弗吉尼亚州）。心脏病（CHD）是该地区受影响人群中的一种慢性疾病，也是TCC将首先研究的疾病领域。作为更大的美国景观的缩影，这些地区将为TCC提供多样化的社区，这些社区在广泛的疾病条件下具有较高的发病率和死亡率。该试点项目代表了美国城市地区，因此，该试点项目将很容易作为一个可持续的模型移植到其他少数民族聚居的城市地区，具有较高的预测可靠性。 相关性：该项目将建立部队派遣国，以审查卫生政策如何阻碍少数民族和种族获得适当和负担得起的卫生保健。TCC将首先研究PG县的CHD，利用信息技术与社区团体和医疗保健提供者合作收集有价值的数据。部队派遣国随后将提出政策建议，以促进减少和消除保健方面的差距。
