DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Deaf sign language users and people with hearing loss comprise health disparity populations overlooked by most public health research, surveillance and programs. The mission of the Rochester Prevention Research Center (RPRC) is to promote health and prevent disease with these two distinct populations through community-based participatory research (CBPR). A RPRC long term objective is to eliminate health disparities in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HOH) populations. RPRC will work to achieve the mission and that goal through six aims based on the key elements of a Prevention Research Center (PRC): Aim 1 - To organize and administer RPRC to carry out CBPR with D/HOH communities; Aim 2 - To engage D/HOH individuals and stakeholder organizations in all aspects of RPRC activities; Aim 3 - To connect RPRC and stakeholders through effective bi-directional communication channels; Aim 4 - To create education and training programs that enhance D/HOH communities' capacity and health; Aim 5 - To evaluate RPRC achievements guided by the RPRC Logic Model and Work Plans; Aim 6 - To further advance the respective research agendas set with the D/HOH communities. RPRC proposes a dissemination and implementation research project focused on obesity, a CDC winnable battle. The overall goal of this research, called Deaf Weight Wise 2.0 (DWW 2.0), is to adapt an evidenced-based healthy lifestyle intervention for use with Deaf adult American Sign Language (ASL) users ages 21-40, delivered either locally as an in-person group intervention or remotely as an individual counseling intervention via videophone (VP), and to assess the interventions with a randomized trial. The VP, an existing technology that is virtually ubiquitous in the US Deaf community, has broad implications for remote delivery of health interventions with Deaf and other populations. RPRC's overarching premise is that an evidenced-based healthy lifestyle intervention adapted by Deaf people for use with Deaf people and delivered by Deaf people will improve diet, physical activity and weight. DWW 2.0 builds on RPRC strengths including a longstanding collaboration with the Rochester Deaf community, experience adapting measures and materials for use with Deaf ASL users, and a successful research focus on obesity intervention with Deaf ASL users. DWW 2.0 is responsive to the Deaf community in that it focuses on: 1) obesity, a health disparity that the Deaf community selected as a health research priority, 2) an age demographic identified by the Deaf community for inclusion in health promotion research, and 3) scalability and the request that the benefits of RPRC research be extended to reach Deaf communities outside of Rochester. RPRC, a unit of the Rochester Clinical and Translational Science Institute, brings academic health center expertise to these issues. DWW 2.0 is consistent with RPRC's work with the Rochester Community Transformation Grant and local health department. RPRC activities match the PRC FOA aims and support the Healthy People 2020 Goal to promote the health and well-being of people with disabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：聋人手语使用者和听力损失患者构成了大多数公共卫生研究，监测和计划忽视的健康差异人群。罗切斯特预防研究中心（RPRC）的使命是通过基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）促进这两个不同人群的健康并预防疾病。RPRC的一个长期目标是消除聋人和听力困难人群的健康差距。RPRC将根据预防研究中心（PRC）的关键要素，通过六个目标努力实现使命和这一目标：目标1 -组织和管理RPRC与D/HOH社区开展CBPR;目标2 -让D/HOH个人和利益相关者组织参与RPRC活动的各个方面;目标3 -通过有效的双向沟通渠道将RPRC与利益相关者联系起来;目标4 -制定教育和培训方案，提高D/HOH社区的能力和健康;目标5 -在RPRC逻辑模型和工作计划的指导下评估RPRC的成就;目标6 -进一步推进与D/HOH社区制定的各自研究议程。RPRC提出了一个传播和实施的研究项目，重点是肥胖，疾病预防控制中心赢得战斗。这项名为Deaf Weight Wise 2.0（DWW 2.0）的研究的总体目标是调整一种基于证据的健康生活方式干预措施，供21-40岁的成年美国手语（ASL）聋人使用者使用，可以在本地作为面对面的团体干预或通过可视电话（VP）远程作为个人咨询干预，并通过随机试验评估干预措施。VP是一种在美国聋人社区几乎无处不在的现有技术，对聋人和其他人群的远程健康干预具有广泛的影响。RPRC的首要前提是，聋人适应聋人使用并由聋人提供的基于证据的健康生活方式干预将改善饮食，体育活动和体重。DWW 2.0建立在RPRC优势的基础上，包括与罗切斯特聋人社区的长期合作，经验适应措施和材料用于聋人ASL用户，以及对聋人ASL用户肥胖干预的成功研究。DWW 2.0对聋人社区的响应集中在：1）肥胖，聋人社区选择作为健康研究优先事项的健康差异，2）聋人社区确定的纳入健康促进研究的年龄人口统计学，以及3）可扩展性和要求RPRC研究的好处扩展到罗切斯特以外的聋人社区。RPRC是罗切斯特临床和转化科学研究所的一个单位，为这些问题带来了学术健康中心的专业知识。DWW 2.0与RPRC与罗切斯特社区改造补助金和当地卫生部门的工作是一致的。RPRC的活动符合PRC FOA的目标，并支持健康人2020目标，以促进残疾人的健康和福祉。
