项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hampton University Health Disparities Reduction Project Hampton University seeks to develop a program for Health Disparities Reduction. Given the broad nature of health disparity issue, this proposal will focus on access to health care. One of the most firmly established and frequently reported patterns in the distribution of quality of life indicators in the United States is the disparate health status of ethnic minority populations and the economically disadvantaged. Currently one in four million Americans is a member of a racial or ethnic minority group. Of that number, 29% live in economically challenging circumstances. Evidence of shorter life expectancies, higher rates of chronic and acute physical and mental disorders, and the disproportionate burden of disease within these populations abound when compared to the general population. Despite decades of research, our understanding of the factors responsible for racial differences in health is still limited. Data suggest that differential incidences of disease and health outcomes result from the complex interactions of a plethora of factors. Comprehensive multilevel approaches are urgently needed to reduce health disparities that exist between different ethnic/racial and socioeconomic groups in our country. Hampton University is uniquely poised to successfully address the problem of minority health disparities. To address this important issue, this proposal represents an interdisciplinary approach from two of the four recently inaugurated, doctoral degree-granting schools in the university, Nursing and Pharmacy. The program will integrate research, training, and outreach to establish a scientific base for eliminating health disparities and improving the health and well being of ethnic minority populations. Hampton University will establish linkages with the University of Michigan to enhance the health disparity research capacity. The proposed program for Health Disparity Reduction will do the following: 1. Promote research to reduce health disparities through a pilot/feasibility funding mechanism. 2. Foster the generation and testing of culturally specific, health related theories and interventions from a multidisciplinary perspective. 3. Establish a means for enhancing community involvement as research is conducted and disseminated. 4. Expand the number of minority researchers involved in minority health issues.

描述（由申请人提供）：汉普顿大学健康差距缩小项目汉普顿大学寻求制定一项减少健康差距的计划。鉴于健康差距问题的广泛性，该提案将重点关注获得医疗保健的机会。美国生活质量指标分布中最牢固、最常报告的模式之一是少数族裔人口和经济弱势群体的不同健康状况。目前，四百万美国人中就有一人是少数种族或族裔群体的成员。其中，29% 的人生活在经济困难的环境中。与一般人群相比，这些人群的预期寿命较短、慢性和急性身体和精神疾病发生率较高以及疾病负担不成比例的证据比比皆是。尽管进行了数十年的研究，我们对造成健康方面种族差异的因素的了解仍然有限。数据表明，疾病发生率和健康结果的差异是多种因素复杂相互作用的结果。迫切需要采取全面的多层次方法来减少我国不同民族/种族和社会经济群体之间存在的健康差距。汉普顿大学具有独特的优势，能够成功解决少数族裔的健康差异问题。为了解决这个重要问题，该提案代表了该大学最近成立的四个博士学位授予学院中的两个学院（护理学院和药学院）采取的跨学科方法。该计划将整合研究、培训和推广，为消除健康差距和改善少数民族人口的健康和福祉建立科学基础。汉普顿大学将与密歇根大学建立联系，以增强健康差距研究能力。拟议的减少健康差距计划将执行以下任务： 1. 通过试点/可行性资助机制促进减少健康差距的研究。 2. 从多学科角度促进特定文化的健康相关理论和干预措施的产生和测试。 3. 建立一种在研究进行和传播时加强社区参与的方法。 4. 扩大参与少数民族健康问题的少数民族研究人员的数量。
