项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The candidate, Dr. Soohyun Nam, is an assistant professor and nationally certified adult nurse practitioner who has an excellent foundation in patient self-management, health disparities, and community-based research for adults of diverse race/ethnicity with chronic diseases. The long-term goals of this application include the following: (a) to improve outcomes for people with an obesity-related condition, such as type 2 diabetes by developing, implementing, testing, and evaluating self-management and behavioral change interventions for adults of diverse race/ethnicity; (b) to develop effective social network interventions targeting obesity and type 2 diabetes; and, (c) to disseminate sustainable social network interventions to high-risk adults of diverse race/ethnicity and translate in the community. Given the high prevalence of obesity among Black women and the many challenges in improving obesity-risk behaviors in the current social environment, developing effective obesity interventions should be a top public health priority and needs to be informed by the social networks which influence the individuals' daily lifestyle. The training goals of this proposal are to: (1) develop expertise in social network theory, measurement and social network study design and recruitment of hard-to-reach at risk population (Dr. Carl Latkin); (2) develop skills in social network analysis (Dr. Trace Kershaw); (3) increase understanding of physical activity, diet and sleep as obesity-risk behaviors among Black women (Drs. Robin Whittemore and Nancy Redeker); and (4) gain knowledge and experience in advanced qualitative analysis and mixed methods (Drs. Holly Kennedy and Robin Whittemore). The research proposal includes three specific aims relating directly to the training goals: (1) to examine the relationships among characteristics of social networks, obesity-risk behaviors (physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, sleep deprivation), and obesity (BMI, body fat, waist/hip circumferences) among young or middle-aged Black women (BMI:15-42 kg/m2); (2) to examine the relationships between obesity-risk behaviors of Black women and their network members' obesity- risk behaviors, accounting for sociodemographic, clinical, psychosocial, and environmental factors; and (3) to explore Black women's perceptions of how social networks influence their obesity-risk behaviors, the communication channels of their social networks, and how social networks could be utilized to improve obesity- risk behaviors. This proposal builds on the candidate's previous work on self-management and lifestyle change research for adults of diverse race/ethnicity with type 2 diabetes, but adds more advanced statistical skills and knowledge of social network research methodologies in the context of obesity-risk behaviors, and an introduction to advanced qualitative and mixed methods research. The research and training plan, the team of mentors who have expertise in social network research, health behavior change interventions, and working with the Black population as well as the opportunity to work with community leaders will provide Dr. Soohyun Nam with focused, interdisciplinary expertise and maximize her capacity as an independent investigator.

Soohyun Nam是一名助理教授和国家认证的成人护士执业者，在患者自我管理，健康差异和基于社区的研究方面为患有慢性疾病的不同种族/民族的成年人奠定了良好的基础。本申请的长期目标包括以下内容：（a）通过开发、实施、测试和评估不同种族/民族的成年人的自我管理和行为改变干预措施，改善患有肥胖相关病症（例如2型糖尿病）的人的结果;（B）开发针对肥胖和2型糖尿病的有效社交网络干预措施;以及（c）向不同种族/族裔的高风险成年人传播可持续的社会网络干预措施，并在社区中推广。鉴于黑人妇女肥胖的高患病率和在当前社会环境下改善肥胖风险行为的许多挑战，制定有效的肥胖干预措施应该是公共卫生的首要任务，并需要通过影响个人日常生活方式的社交网络进行宣传。本提案的培训目标是：（1）发展社会网络理论、测量和社会网络研究设计以及难以接触的风险人群招募方面的专业知识（Carl Latkin博士）;（2）发展以下方面的技能：社会网络分析（TraceKershaw博士）;（3）增加对黑人妇女中身体活动、饮食和睡眠作为肥胖风险行为的理解（RobinWhittemore和NancyRedeker博士）;（4）获得高级定性分析和混合方法的知识和经验（冬青肯尼迪和RobinWhittemore博士）。本研究建议包含三个与训练目标直接相关的具体目标：（1）探讨社交网络特性、肥胖风险行为之间的关系（缺乏运动、不健康饮食、睡眠不足）和肥胖（BMI，身体脂肪，腰围/臀围）在年轻或中年黑人妇女（BMI：15-42 kg/m2）;（2）研究黑人女性肥胖风险行为与其网络成员肥胖风险行为之间的关系，考虑社会人口学、临床、心理社会和环境因素;探讨黑人女性对社交网络如何影响其肥胖风险行为的看法，她们的社交网络的沟通渠道，以及如何利用社交网络来改善肥胖风险行为。该提案建立在候选人先前对不同种族/民族的2型糖尿病成年人的自我管理和生活方式改变研究的基础上，但增加了更先进的统计技能和肥胖风险行为背景下的社会网络研究方法的知识，并介绍了先进的定性和混合方法研究。研究和培训计划，导师团队谁拥有社会网络研究，健康行为改变干预的专业知识，并与黑人人口以及与社区领导人合作的机会，将为南秀贤博士提供重点，跨学科的专业知识，并最大限度地发挥她作为独立调查员的能力。
