Improving awareness of women with hypertension: ROAR (Rural, Obese, At Risk) Career Enhancement Core

超过三分之一的女性患有心脏病，许多人不知道风险。高血压 是心血管疾病（CVD）的主要可改变风险因素，美国约47%的成年人 高血压在约85%的病例中，高血压的原因不明，只有约50%的患者 服用药物达到血压（BP）控制到推荐水平。一个关键的障碍， 限制CVD过早死亡的一个重要因素是缺乏对CVD风险的认识。职业 增强核心（CEC）旨在开发一个关于SABV的综合教育平台， 心血管疾病，以提高对心血管疾病的认识和教育，并增加妇女不受控制的高血压的风险 通过社区外展服务，在整个健康范围内推广。中央选举委员会对注重成果的年度报告的成功至关重要。的 CEC的目标是为研究、医疗和卫生部门之间的长期关系奠定基础。 在GA，MS和SC的非专业社区，并提高对妇女心血管疾病风险的认识， SABV通过教育、指导、策略性干预等方式控制高血压的考虑 伙伴关系和培训社区参与的研究人员。注重成果的年度报告-中央选举委员会有三个目标。 目标1是建立一个由受过教育的生物医学科学家组成的具有文化多样性的研究队伍， CVD中的SABV领域。该目标将提供在SABV的研究职业发展机会 研究，培训多样化的科学工作队伍，并在不同的SABV促进机制研究 职业阶段。目标2是建立一个由受过培训的科学家组成的社区外联渠道， 提高对SABV的认识，促进男女最佳心血管保健。 注重成果的年度报告-中央选举委员会将利用和加强现有的社区伙伴关系， 在当地学校、大学和社区中提高对男性和女性心血管风险的认识， HBCU。目标3是使社区能够自我监督，并找出改善的障碍 获得医疗保健。这将通过创新的教育材料来实现， 障碍的定性评估。注重成果的年度报告-中央选举委员会对培训采取综合办法， 在CVD中开展SABV教育，提高社区对CVD风险的认识。我们 跨学科小组为解决高危人群中的这些重要问题做好了独特的准备， 美国南部。注重成果的年度报告-环境合作委员会的影响将是培训下一代科学家， 在与妇女健康和SABV有关的研究中， 妇女的健康和高血压的危险因素，并支持发展一个新的，自我意识， 可持续的，积极的研究人员，教育工作者，医生和社区成员的社区。 注重成果的年度报告将产生协同作用，改变学术、临床和社区对 女性心血管健康的重要性。

More than 1 in 3 women are living with heart disease and many are unaware of the risks. Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and ~47% of adults in the US have hypertension. In ~85% of cases, the cause of hypertension is unknown and only ~50% of patients taking medication achieve blood pressure (BP) control to recommended levels. A critical barrier to limiting premature death from CVD is lack of awareness surrounding the risks of CVD. The Career Enhancement Core (CEC) is designed to develop a comprehensive educational platform on SABV in CVD to increase awareness and education of CVD and the risks of uncontrolled hypertension in women across the health span through community outreach. The CEC is critical to the success of ROAR. The goals of the CEC are to develop a foundation for long-term relationships among the research, medical and lay communities in GA, MS and SC, and bring greater awareness to the risk of CVD in women and the consideration of SABV in the control of hypertension through education, mentorship, strategic partnerships, and training of community-engaged researchers. The ROAR-CEC has 3 objectives. Objective 1 is to develop a culturally diverse research pipeline of biomedical scientists trained in the field of SABV in CVD. This Objective will provide research career enhancement opportunities in SABV research, train a diverse scientific workforce, and promote mechanistic studies in SABV at different career stages. Objective 2 is to establish a community outreach pipeline of scientists trained to increase awareness of SABV and promote optimal cardiovascular healthcare for men and women. ROAR-CEC will leverage and strengthen existing community partnerships to engage in outreach to promote awareness about cardiovascular risk to men and women at local schools, colleges and HBCUs. Objective 3 is to empower the community to self-monitor and identify barriers to improving access to healthcare. This will be accomplished through innovative educational materials and qualitative assessment of barriers. ROAR-CEC takes a comprehensive approach to training and education in SABV in CVD and increasing community awareness of the risks of CVD. Our interdisciplinary team is uniquely prepared to address these important issues in at-risk populations in the Southern US. The impact of ROAR-CEC will be to train the next generation of scientists engaged in research related to women’s health and SABV, to change common perceptions and biases regarding women’s health and hypertension risk factors, and support the development of a new, self-aware, sustainable, and motivated community of researchers, educators, physicians and community members. ROAR will create synergy that will transform academic, clinical and community awareness of the importance of cardiovascular health in women.
