DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Deep South Network for Cancer Control (DSNCC) focuses on some of the most impoverished and underserved areas in the US. The rural MS Delta, AL Black Belt and inner city of Birmingham, AL and Hattiesburg, Laurel, MS have exceptionally high rates of cancer mortality, cancer disparity and obesity. The DSNCC has for 9 yrs systematically addressed the major cancer health concerns of these areas. A community based infrastructure was established that in collaboration with three academic institutions addressed disparity in cervical and breast cancer screening and more recently in colorectal cancer screening, lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating. During this period we have expanded our community infrastructure in our targeted areas to include a Community Network Partnership (CNP) in each county. Building upon our community-academic partnership, our success in promoting cancer screening, increasing physical activity and incorporating healthy eating into churches, we have the following overall Specific Aims: 1-Through the Community Outreach Core, promote screening for breast, cervix, and colorectal cancer and increased physical activity and healthy eating through a community based participatory approach that includes development of a Community Action Plan that targets all levels of the socio-ecological model; 2- through the Research Core develop, implement, and evaluate the efficacy of a community-based, participatory, culturally-relevant intervention to reduce body weight among African American women residing in rural communities in the Deep South through a group randomized trial. Also, develop, implement, and disseminate the results of 3 pilot projects that address the needs of the community as well as the NCI requirements, with the first having a primary focus of addressing the need of revisiting the current colorectal cancer screening guidelines for African Americans; 3-through the Training Core train a cadre of new investigators who are committed to community based participatory research (CBPR) to eliminate cancer health disparities. The activities of these cores will be coordinated by an Administrative Core.

描述（由申请人提供）：深南癌症控制网络（DSNCC）专注于美国一些最贫困和服务不足的地区。农村MS三角洲，AL黑带和伯明翰，AL和哈蒂斯堡，月桂，MS内城有非常高的癌症死亡率，癌症差异和肥胖。9年来，DSNCC系统地解决了这些地区的主要癌症健康问题。建立了一个基于社区的基础设施，与三个学术机构合作，解决宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查以及最近的结肠直肠癌筛查方面的差距、缺乏体育活动和不健康饮食问题。在此期间，我们扩大了目标地区的社区基础设施，在每个县都建立了社区网络伙伴关系。在我们的社区学术伙伴关系的基础上，我们在促进癌症筛查，增加身体活动和将健康饮食纳入教会方面的成功，我们有以下总体具体目标：1-通过社区外展核心，促进乳腺癌、宫颈癌、通过以社区为基础的参与性方法，包括制定社区行动计划，针对社会生态模式的各个层面; 2- 通过研究核心开发，实施，并评估以社区为基础的， 参与性的，文化相关的干预，以减少体重的非洲裔美国妇女居住在农村社区在南方腹地通过一组随机试验。此外，制定，实施和传播3个试点项目的结果，以满足社区的需求以及NCI的要求，第一个项目的主要重点是解决重新审视目前非裔美国人结肠直肠癌筛查指南的需求; 3-通过培训核心培训一批致力于社区参与式研究（CBPR）的新研究人员消除癌症健康差距。这些核心的活动将由一个行政核心协调。
