项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Significant socioeconomic and racial cancer disparities are evident in the South Dallas/Fair Park area, a low socioeconomic, largely minority population in Dallas, Texas, with a cancer mortality rate approximately 1.5 times greater than that of Dallas County as a whole. Community-based participatory research (CBPR), a collaborative research approach that combines community needs assessment with community capacity-building strategies, is one method that has been successfully used for cancer-control research. The Trans-HHS Cancer Health Disparities Progress Review Group suggests that CBPR may be an ideal way to tackle cancer disparities in underserved populations, such as that of South Dallas. The objective of this study is to implement an effective CBPR approach to reduce the presence of cancer and cancer-related health behavior in this population. The specific aims of this study are: (1) to work collaboratively with the community to identify priority cancer disparities based on the results of a community diagnosis that explores behavioral, cultural, dietary, socioeconomic, and political determinants of these disparities and the strengths and assets of the South Dallas/Fair Park area to mitigate these factors; and (2) to develop innovative community-based intervention approaches to reduce and eliminate cancer disparities in the South Dallas/Fair Park area. Investigators and community members will create an advisory board to initiate dialogue regarding cancer disparities. The results of a recently conducted South Dallas Needs Assessment will be discussed in focus groups to identify factors contributing to cancer disparities in the community. Investigators will analyze the data from the needs assessment and focus groups and disseminate the results to the community. The advisory board will design an appropriate intervention, and the intervention will be pilot tested in the Frazier Courts area. The outcomes and processes of the intervention as well as the CBPR processes will be evaluated. This project is expected to contribute to the reduction of cancer in the South Dallas/Fair Park area by educating residents about the level of cancer and disparities in the community; identifying determinants of cancer in the community; and implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the intervention. Furthermore, this project will support the National Cancer Institute's commitment to eliminate cancer disparities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE Cancer disparities are a major public health concern, as seen by the National Cancer Institute's commitment to eliminate cancer disparities. The goal of the Dallas Cancer Disparities Research Coalition is to reduce the presence of cancer in the South Dallas/Fair Park area by educating residents about the level of cancer and cancer disparities in their community, by identifying determinants of cancer in the community, and by implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the collaborative intervention. This project will empower the community in the cancer battle by involving them in every step of the research process, thus making the community members more likely to participate and succeed in the recommended cancer-control strategies.

描述(申请人提供)：南达拉斯/公平公园地区存在明显的社会经济和种族癌症差异，这是得克萨斯州达拉斯的一个低社会经济人口，主要是少数族裔人口，癌症死亡率大约是整个达拉斯县的1.5倍。基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)是一种将社区需求评估与社区能力建设战略相结合的合作研究方法，是一种成功地用于癌症控制研究的方法。跨HHS癌症健康差异进展审查小组建议，CBPR可能是解决服务不足人群中癌症差异的理想方法，例如南达拉斯。这项研究的目的是实施一种有效的CBPR方法，以减少该人群中癌症的存在和与癌症相关的健康行为。这项研究的具体目的是：(1)与社区合作，根据社区诊断的结果确定优先的癌症差异，该社区诊断探索这些差异的行为、文化、饮食、社会经济和政治决定因素，以及南达拉斯/公平公园地区的优势和资产，以缓解这些因素；(2)开发创新的社区干预方法，以减少和消除南达拉斯/公平公园地区的癌症差异。调查人员和社区成员将成立一个咨询委员会，就癌症差异展开对话。最近进行的南达拉斯需求评估的结果将在焦点小组中讨论，以确定导致社区癌症差异的因素。调查人员将分析需求评估和焦点小组的数据，并将结果传播给社区。咨询委员会将设计适当的干预措施，并将在弗雷泽法院地区进行试点测试。将对干预的结果和进程以及CBPR进程进行评估。该项目预计将通过教育居民了解社区癌症水平和差异，确定社区癌症的决定因素，以及实施和评估干预措施的有效性，为减少南达拉斯/公平公园地区的癌症做出贡献。此外，该项目将支持国家癌症研究所消除癌症差异的承诺。癌症差异是一个主要的公共卫生问题，从国家癌症研究所消除癌症差异的承诺中可以看出。达拉斯癌症差异研究联盟的目标是通过教育居民了解他们所在社区的癌症水平和癌症差异，确定社区中癌症的决定因素，以及实施和评估合作干预的有效性，来减少南达拉斯/公平公园地区的癌症存在。该项目将通过让社区参与研究过程的每一步来增强社区在癌症斗争中的能力，从而使社区成员更有可能参与并成功实施推荐的癌症控制策略。
