PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Health disparities are a significant problem in Arkansas, arguing for research to eliminate them. The development and support of researchers and communities who can conduct research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these disparities and test the effectiveness of strategies to achieve health equity is essential. We will continue to complete research in minority health disparities, promote the training of a diverse research workforce, disseminate research findings, and foster collaborations and partnerships through the activities of the proposed Arkansas Center for Health Disparities (ARCHD). The proposed Center builds on 9.5 years of strong, collaborative work as an Exploratory Center of Excellence, continuing its thematic focus developing multidisciplinary, multilevel research that reduces chronic disease risk factors for which there are significant health disparities among socially disadvantaged African American communities, with a goal of improving health and quality of life and ultimately eliminating health disparities. ARCHD will maintain three core units – an Administrative Core to provide overall coordination and management of Center activities, including the coordination of common data elements, evaluation, and methods expertise; an Investigator Development Core, to develop a pilot project program for early stage investigators and to provide mentorship and guidance; and a Community Engagement and Dissemination Core, to expand and facilitate equitable, sustainable, collaborative relationships with community and other stakeholders and to coordinate dissemination of research findings to diverse audience segments. The Center will implement two full research projects, both using a community health worker model to deliver interventions to disadvantaged African American populations, i.e., female African American tobacco users in rural communities and recently incarcerated African Americans at high risk of contracting HIV. We seek to foster additional research addressing minority health disparities, both within and outside the Center, the dissemination of which may inform efforts to create systematic change in policies, programs, and environments to reduce and eliminate health disparities.

项目摘要/摘要 在阿肯色州，健康差异是一个重大问题，主张进行研究以消除它们。 可以进行研究以阐明研究人员和社区的发展和支持 这些分布的基础机制并测试实现健康公平策略的有效性是 基本的。我们将继续完成有关少数民族健康差异的研究，促进对潜水员的培训 研究工作人员，传播研究结果，并通过 拟议的阿肯色州健康差异中心（ACHD）的活动。拟议的中心建于9.5 多年来，作为卓越探索性中心的强大合作工作，继续其主题重点 开发多学科的多层次研究，以减少慢性疾病危险因素 在社会上受到困扰的非洲裔美国社区之间存在重大健康差异， 目的是改善健康和生活质量并最终消除健康差异。阿奇 将维护三个核心单位 - 一种行政核心，以提供总体协调和管理 中心活动，包括共同数据元素的协调，评估和方法专业知识；一个 调查员开发核心，为早期研究人员制定试点项目计划并提供 精神和指导；以及社区的参与和传播核心，以扩展和促进 与社区和其他利益相关者的公平，可持续，协作关系，并协调 向潜水受众群体传播研究发现。该中心将实施两项完整的研究 项目，都使用社区卫生工作者模型为非洲灾难提供干预措施 美国人口，即农村社区和最近的非裔美国人烟草使用者 被监禁的非裔美国人患艾滋病毒的高风险。我们寻求培养其他研究 解决中心内外的少数族裔健康差异，其传播可能 告知努力，以创造系统的政策，计划和环境，以减少和消除 健康分布。
