Project Summary/Abstract Center for Transformative Community-Driven Research to Prevent Obesity-related Cancer (the Center) seeks to reduce cancer risk, and ultimately improve cancer outcomes for communities experiencing persistent poverty. We plan to bridge the gap between research and real-world practice through community-engaged approaches to address obesity—the second leading preventable cause of cancer. The Center will focus its activity on Acres Homes, a historic Black Community in Houston, Texas that has experienced persistent poverty. The Center will test interventions in the context of MD Anderson’s current place-based cancer prevention initiative (Be Well Communities™), around two scientific themes: 1) understanding social and environmental context of poverty (e.g., food insecurity, limited recreational infrastructure, few health promotion services) and 2) promoting health behavior changes of diet and physical activity as major contributing causes of obesity. The two research projects span the cancer control continuum from primary prevention to survivorship: Project 1 will test the effect of a multi-level nutrition intervention on BMI and metabolic health in Acres Homes elementary school students and their parents, and Project 2 will adapt and test the effect of a physical activity intervention for Acres Homes cancer survivors on physical functioning. Both will use a health promotion interweaving approach to embed the interventions in the environmental context of Acres Homes and Be Well Communities. The transdisciplinary approach used by the research projects will integrate behavioral science, implementation science, geospatial analytics, and health communication. The Center will include five cores: Administrative, Research and Methods, Career Enhancement, Developmental, and Engagement Core. Our conceptual framework is informed by both the context of persistent poverty and the science of behavior change. At the behavior change level, the conceptual framework incorporates the COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation -Behavior) model of behavior change. In collaboration with Acres Homes community leaders, the specific aims of the Center are to: (1) Test interventions to address risk factors for obesity-related cancers using a health promotion interweaving approach in the context of Be Well™ Acres Homes, building on the existing infrastructure of community collaboration, planning and programming; (2) Collaborate with residents and community organizations to foster an environment that supports the conduct of research and the implementation of programs that can alleviate the effects of persistent poverty; (3) Support the careers of transdisciplinary teams of early-career researchers including trainees and early stage faculty and build their expertise in conducting research to promote cancer prevention and control in persistent poverty communities, with a focus on development of trainees and investigators from under-represented groups.

项目总结/摘要 预防肥胖相关癌症的变革性社区驱动研究中心（Center for Transformative Community-Driven Research to Prevent Obesity-Related Cancer） 旨在降低癌症风险，并最终改善持续经历癌症的社区的癌症结果。 贫困我们计划通过社区参与，弥合研究与现实世界实践之间的差距。 肥胖是癌症的第二大可预防原因。该中心将重点 活动英亩家园，一个历史悠久的黑人社区在休斯敦，得克萨斯州，经历了持续的 贫困该中心将在MD安德森目前基于地方的癌症的背景下测试干预措施 预防倡议（Be Well Communities™），围绕两个科学主题：1）了解社会和 贫困的环境背景（例如，粮食不安全，娱乐基础设施有限，健康促进很少 服务）和2）促进饮食和体育活动的健康行为变化作为主要原因 肥胖症。这两个研究项目涵盖了从初级预防到 生存率：项目1将测试多水平营养干预对BMI和代谢健康的影响， 英亩之家小学的学生和他们的父母，项目2将适应和测试的效果， 身体活动干预对Acres Homes癌症幸存者身体功能的影响。双方将使用一个健康 促进交织的方法，将干预措施嵌入英亩家园的环境背景中， 做好社区。研究项目使用的跨学科方法将整合行为 科学、实施科学、地理空间分析和健康传播。该中心将包括五个 核心：行政，研究和方法，职业提升，发展和参与核心。 我们的概念框架是由持续贫困的背景和行为科学告知的 变化在行为改变层面，概念框架结合了COM-B（能力， 机会，动机-行为）模型的行为改变。与Acres Homes社区合作 领导人，该中心的具体目标是：（1）测试干预措施，以解决肥胖相关的危险因素 在Be Well™ Acres Homes的背景下，使用健康促进交织方法治疗癌症， 现有的社区合作、规划和方案编制基础设施;（2）与 居民和社区组织，以促进一个环境，支持研究和 实施可以减轻持续贫困影响的计划;（3）支持职业生涯 跨学科团队的早期职业生涯的研究人员，包括学员和早期阶段的教师，并建立他们的 在开展研究以促进持续贫困社区的癌症预防和控制方面拥有专业知识， 重点是培养代表性不足群体的受训人员和调查人员。
