ROCHESTER PREVENTION RESEARCH CENTER

中心申请说明(由调查人员提供)：罗切斯特预防研究中心(中国)的使命是通过基于社区的参与性研究(第1类)促进聋人和听力障碍人群的健康和预防疾病。因此，罗切斯特中国被命名为国家聋人健康研究中心(NCDHR)，以表彰其作为专注于聋人健康的临床和翻译研究中心的独特角色。NCDHR的目标是：1)消除聋人和重听人群中的健康差距；2)通过持久的合作关系，团结NCDHR、其合作伙伴以及聋人和重听社区；3)建立关于聋人和重听人群健康风险、健康决定因素和有效健康促进干预的丰富、通用的证据库；以及4)将NCDHR建立为领先的聋人和听障健康研究组织。这些目标将通过落实六个具体目标来实现。首先，将组织NCDHR与聋人和重听社区开展以社区为基础的参与性研究。第二，NCDHR将在其所有活动中吸收聋人和重听人以及为他们服务的组织。第三，它将发展和保持与听力和聋人合作伙伴的有效沟通渠道，包括国家临床和翻译科学奖计划。第四，NCDHR将为卫生专业人员和学生、社区合作伙伴以及国家和国际团体提供培训、技术援助和指导。第五，将通过制定逻辑模型和收集产出和成果数据，评估国家人权委员会在其使命和目标方面的进展情况。第五，将开展一项核心研究项目，通过改变饮食和体力活动来减少体重和体重增加，作为一项核心研究项目。在下一期资金结束时，NCDHR打算改进其数据收集方法和技术；获得新的工具来评估聋人的健康行为；适应、实施和评估全面的循证干预措施以防止体重增加和肥胖；向罗切斯特以外的聋人社区传播方法、结果和计划；并在研究的每个阶段动员其聋人社区合作伙伴。

DESCRIPTION FOR CENTER APPLICATION (provided by investigator): The mission of the Rochester Prevention Research Center (PRC) is to promote health and prevent disease in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing populations through community-based participatory research (Category 1). The Rochester PRC is therefore named the National Center for Deaf Health Research (NCDHR) to acknowledge its unique role as a clinical and translational research Center focused on the health of Deaf persons. The goals of the NCDHR are to: 1) eliminate health disparities in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing populations; 2) unite the NCDHR, its partners, and Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Communities through enduring collaborative relationships; 3) establish a rich, generalizable evidence base regarding health risks, determinants of health, and effective health promotion interventions in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing populations; and 4) establish the NCDHR as a leading Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing health research organization. These goals will be achieved by carrying out six specific aims. First, the NCDHR will be organized to carry out community-based participatory research with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Communities. Second, the NCDHR will engage Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals and the organizations that serve them in all of its activities. Third, it will develop and maintain effective communication channels with hearing and Deaf partners, including the National Clinical and Translational Science Award Program. Fourth, the NCDHR will provide training, technical assistance and mentoring for health professional practitioners and students, community partners, and national and international groups. Fifth, the NCDHR will be evaluated as to its advancement of its mission and goals through development of a logic model and collection of output and outcome data. Fifth, a core research project entailing an intervention to reduce weight and weight gain through modification of diet and physical activity will be carried out as a core research project. At the end of this next period of funding, the NCDHR intends to have refined its data collection methods and technologies; acquired new tools to assess health behaviors in Deaf persons; adapt, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive, evidence-based intervention to prevent weight gain and obesity; disseminated methods, results, and programs to Deaf Communities outside of Rochester; and engaged its Deaf community partners in each phase of the research.
