PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT: OVERALL The “Deep South,” including Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, has the highest rates of obesity, diabetes and hypertension in the nation. As a result, life expectancy in the Deep South is substantially lower than other regions, and this discrepancy is even greater for Black Americans. The mission of the Deep South Center to Reduce Disparities in Chronic Diseases is to promote health equity and reduce the burden of cardiometabolic diseases across the Deep South. The Center will focus on the prevention, treatment and management of cardiometabolic diseases among Black Americans and low-income populations who suffer disproportionately from these conditions in our tri-state region. The Center is unified thematically through the application of the precision public health approach across the care continuum to achieve health equity, as the elimination of disparities will require precision public health, i.e., “providing the right intervention to the right population at the right time”. This approach acknowledges the importance of context, culture, individual beliefs and preferences as well as the need for multi-level and multi-domain interventions. The Center brings together a trans- disciplinary team of investigators from 4 institutions in 3 contiguous states (the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Tuskegee University, Louisiana’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center) as well as regional non-academic partners to extend cardiometabolic research into real-world community and clinical settings. The Center will drive academic and nonacademic partners toward a new level of intellectual synergy, collaboration, and sustainable efforts to disseminate effective interventions that reduce health disparities in the region. To achieve the long-term goal of improving health equity, the Center will provide and coordinate resources not currently available through the following: 1) an Investigator Development Core, to expand and diversify the region’s research workforce through enrichment activities and a robust pilot program; 2) a Community Engagement Core, to promote equitable collaborations between researchers and non-academic partners; and 3) the Administrative Core, to provide leadership and support for all Center initiatives. The Center also includes three interrelated research projects evaluating multi-level and multi-domain interventions that are informed by, and conducted with, academic and community stakeholders in the region to address cardiometabolic health disparities among Black Americans and low-income populations. Given the significant health disparities in cardiometabolic diseases evident in the Deep South, the strong research base present at the partnering institutions, and the potential to expand and focus these energies on health equity research, the Deep South Center to Reduce Disparities in Chronic Diseases is ideally situated to inform research, clinical care, and policy to promote health equity and reduce cardiometabolic disparities in a region of tremendous need.

项目总结/摘要：总体 包括亚拉巴马、密西西比和路易斯安那在内的“南方腹地”的肥胖、糖尿病和其他疾病的发病率最高。 和高血压。因此，深南地区的预期寿命大大低于其他地区。 这种差异在美国黑人中更大。深南中心的使命是 减少慢性病的差异是为了促进健康公平，减轻心脏代谢的负担。 南方腹地的疾病该中心将侧重于预防、治疗和管理 美国黑人和低收入人群中的心脏代谢疾病 从我们三州地区的这些条件中。该中心是统一的主题，通过应用 在整个护理过程中采取精确的公共卫生方法，以实现卫生公平， 差异将需要精确的公共卫生，即，“为适当的人群提供适当的干预措施， 正确的时间”。这种方法承认环境、文化、个人信仰和偏好的重要性 以及需要多层次和多领域的干预。该中心汇集了一个跨- 来自3个相邻州（亚拉巴马大学， 伯明翰，塔斯基吉大学，路易斯安那州的彭宁顿生物医学研究中心，和 密西西比医学中心）以及区域非学术合作伙伴，将心脏代谢研究扩展到 现实世界的社区和临床环境。该中心将推动学术和非学术合作伙伴走向一个 知识协同、协作和可持续努力达到新的水平，以传播有效的干预措施 减少该地区的健康差距。为了实现改善卫生公平性的长期目标， 中心将通过以下方式提供和协调目前无法获得的资源：1）研究者 发展核心，通过丰富活动扩大该地区的研究队伍并使其多样化， 一个强有力的试点计划; 2）社区参与核心，以促进公平的合作， 研究人员和非学术合作伙伴;和3）行政核心，提供领导和支持， 中心的所有举措。该中心还包括三个相互关联的研究项目， 多领域干预措施，由学术界和社区利益攸关方提供信息，并与他们一起进行， 该地区解决美国黑人和低收入人群之间的心脏代谢健康差距。 考虑到南方腹地心脏代谢疾病的显著健康差异， 合作机构的研究基础，以及扩大和集中这些精力的潜力 健康公平研究，深南中心，以减少慢性病的差异是理想的位置， 信息研究，临床护理和政策，以促进健康公平和减少心脏代谢差异， 地区的巨大需求。
