ARV ADOPTION & ADHERENCE IN A US-MEXICO BORDER COMMUNITY-BASED CLINIC

我们建议建立一个P20研究中心，通过指导一个新的拉美裔健康差距来解决 通过教育、科研、科研培训造就一代卫生科研人员。该中心将是 致力于将结果和经验教训翻译和传播给提供者、政策制定者和 社区合作伙伴。该中心将包括四个核心：1)行政，2)研究，3)研究 培训和教育，以及4)社区参与和传播。拟议的人类发展研究中心将 充分利用持续协作所产生的个人和集体动力 得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校、护理学院和健康科学学院之间的关系 德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心公共卫生学院。这些关系 为拉美裔美国人的健康差距培养可持续的学术发展机制。这个 HHDRC将以一个概念框架为指导，明确影响拉美裔的变量 我们边境社区的健康差距。基于这一框架的研究将寻求机制来 缩小拉美裔美国人的健康差距。HHDRC将把提交的两份完整研究报告与 这项申请，以及在赠款的第3-5年中进行的新的试点研究。我们为这个新的机会带来了 由NCMHD初始资金促进的技能组合、多学科人员和机构基础设施， 特别是西班牙裔健康差距研究中心的成立。

We propose to develop a P20 Research Center to address Hispanic health disparities by mentoring a new generation of health researchers through education, research, and research training. The Center will be committed to translatiing and disseminating findings and lessons learned to providers, policy makers and community partners.The Center will comprise four cores: 1) Administrative, 2) Research, 3) Research Training and Education, and 4) Community Engagement and Dissemination. The proposed HHDRC will take advantage of the individual and collective momentum generated in and through ongoing collaborative relationships between the University of Texas at El Paso, School of Nursing and College of Health Sciences and University of Texas at Houston Health Science Center - School of Public Health. These relationships foster sustainable mechanisms for scholarship development in Hispanic American health disparities. The HHDRC will be guided by a conceptual framework that makes explicit the variables that influence Hispanic health disparities in our Border communities. Research based upon this framework will seek mechanisms to reduce Hispanic American health disparities. The HHDRC will integrate the two full studies submitted with this application, as well as new pilot studies in years 3-5 of the grant. We bring to this new opportunity the skill sets, multi-disciplinary personnel, and institutional infrastructure facilitated by the initial NCMHD funding, particularly the establishment of the Hispanic Health Disparities Research Center.
