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.

项目总结/摘要 健康差距是阿肯色州的一个重要问题，人们主张进行研究以消除这些差距。的 发展和支持研究人员和社区，他们可以进行研究， 这些差距背后的机制，并测试战略的有效性，以实现健康公平是 具有本质意义我们将继续完成少数民族健康差距的研究，促进多元化人才的培养， 研究人员，传播研究成果，并通过促进合作和伙伴关系， 拟议中的阿肯色州健康差异中心（ARCHD）的活动。该中心建立在9.5 多年来，作为探索卓越中心的强大协作工作，继续其主题重点 开展多学科、多层次的研究，减少慢性病的风险因素， 在处于社会不利地位的非裔美国人社区中， 目标是改善健康和生活质量，最终消除健康差距。ARCHD 将维持三个核心单位----一个行政核心，负责全面协调和管理 中心活动，包括协调通用数据元素、评估和方法专业知识; 研究者发展核心，为早期研究者制定试点项目计划，并提供 指导和指导;以及社区参与和传播核心，以扩大和促进 与社区和其他利益攸关方建立公平、可持续的合作关系， 向不同的受众群体传播研究成果。该中心将开展两项全面研究 两个项目都使用社区卫生工作者模式，向处境不利的非洲人提供干预措施， 美国人口，即，农村社区的非裔美国女性烟草使用者， 被监禁的非洲裔美国人感染艾滋病毒的风险很高。我们寻求促进更多的研究 解决少数民族健康差距，无论是在中心内外，其传播可能 提供信息，努力在政策、方案和环境方面创造系统性的变化，以减少和消除 健康差距。
