The encouraging reports of progress in curbing the obesity epidemic in the US population as a whole are tempered by findings that the favorable trends do not apply equally across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic status. Obesity prevalence continues to increase or remain higher in some ethnic minority and low income population subgroups, including black adults and children. The African American Collaborative Obesity Research Network (AACORN) will host a national workshop with the overarching objective of engaging interdisciplinary groups of scholars as well as stakeholders from diverse societal sectors in the development of a “collective impact” research and research translation agenda to advance black community health. The workshop will be held in August 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The focus will be on strategies that can lead to improvements in black Americans' health outcomes related to diet, physical activity, and body weight. Specific aims are to enable workshop participants to: 1) Integrate insights from multiple academic disciplines, including biomedical sciences, technology, social sciences, public health, arts and humanities; 2) Evaluate the potential utility and applicability of theories, strategies and tools from the fields of business, social policy, public policy, marketing, city planning, and civic engagement; 3) Prioritize pathways for complementary solutions across multiple-sectors, e.g., economics and finance, food systems, education, housing, transportation, planning, and health care, among others; 4) Recognize common themes in successful efforts to create or advocate for changes in environments that influence health behaviors in black American and other high risk populations; and 5) Learn about relevant evaluation measures and tools that fit with multidisciplinary assessment criteria, and involve performance measurement plans. The 2-day workshop, with pre-conference events on the prior afternoon/evening, will involve 80 to 100 participants. The overall objective and aims will be achieved through interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral knowledge exchange, person-to-person interactions, and experiential learning, and improving research agendas. Participants will include scholars and established researchers across the career continuum from those in training to established senior scholars. Consistent with the theme, the disciplines, sectors, and areas of practice represented will include, among others, medicine, health care delivery, urban and rural public health, social sciences, marketing, communications, economics, arts/humanities, foods systems, education, child development, city planning, and philanthropy. The format will be highly interactive, drawing on strategies that are suited to the theme and including the use of scenarios as the basis for small group discussions. Evaluation will focus on the quality of the cross sectoral research translation agenda that emerges, as assessed by diverse workshop participants and by post-workshop feedback from selected experts who were not participants. AACORN's cross-sectoral networking with national black organizations will be the main route for dissemination, supported by lay and academic publications.

令人鼓舞的报告显示，在遏制美国人口肥胖流行方面取得了进展， 研究结果表明，有利的趋势并不适用于所有种族/民族和社会经济 status.肥胖患病率在一些少数民族和低收入人群中继续增加或保持较高水平 人口亚组，包括黑人成人和儿童。非裔美国人合作肥胖 研究网络（AACORN）将主办一个国家讲习班，其总体目标是 跨学科的学者团体以及来自不同社会部门的利益攸关方， “集体影响”研究和研究翻译议程，以促进黑人社区健康。的 研讨会将于2016年8月在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行。重点将放在能够 改善了美国黑人的饮食、体育活动和体重等健康状况。 具体目标是使研讨会参与者能够：1）整合来自多个学科的见解， 包括生物医学科学、技术、社会科学、公共卫生、艺术和人文科学; 2）评估 来自商业、社会政策、公共政策和社会政策领域的理论、战略和工具的潜在效用和适用性 政策、市场营销、城市规划和公民参与; 3）优先考虑互补解决方案的途径 跨多个扇区，例如，经济和金融，食品系统，教育，住房，交通， 规划和卫生保健等; 4）认识到共同的主题，在成功的努力，创造或 倡导改变影响美国黑人和其他高风险人群健康行为的环境 5）了解适合多学科的相关评价措施和工具， 评估标准，并涉及绩效衡量计划。为期2天的研讨会，包括会前讨论会 在前一天下午/晚上举行的活动将涉及80至100名参与者。总体目标和宗旨是 通过跨学科和跨部门的知识交流，人与人之间的互动， 体验式学习和改进研究议程。与会者将包括学者和建立 从培训人员到资深学者的整个职业生涯的研究人员。符合 所代表的主题、学科、部门和实践领域将包括医学， 保健服务、城市和农村公共卫生、社会科学、市场营销、通信、经济学、 艺术/人文、食品系统、教育、儿童发展、城市规划和慈善事业。该格式将 高度互动，借鉴适合主题的战略，包括使用情景， 小组讨论的基础。评价将侧重于跨部门研究的质量 根据不同研讨会参与者和研讨会后的评估， 未参加会议的选定专家的反馈意见。AACORN与国家 黑人组织将是传播的主要渠道，并得到非专业和学术出版物的支持。
