NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health

纽约大学亚裔美国人健康研究中心（CSAAH）是一个学术医疗和研究中心（NYU），几个医疗保健和公立医院组织，以及超过55个社区和政府合作伙伴的合作伙伴，为纽约市的亚裔美国人社区服务。CSAAH的主要使命是通过跨学科和社区参与的研究方法来解决，减轻和消除亚裔美国人的健康差距。为了完成这一使命，CSAAH致力于以下指导原则：1）通过使用多种战略和与不同利益相关者合作进行系统变革; 2）在研究，培训和推广方面建立公平的“伙伴关系”; 3）以行动为导向的研究; 4）加强社区和学术合作伙伴的研究能力，以充分参与研究过程;（5）进行多元文化评价，以促进自主权、可持续性和影响力。这些指导原则被整合到CSAAH的四个核心中：1）行政，2）研究，3）研究培训和教育，以及4）社区参与和推广。整个中心的具体目标是：a）开发和开展研究，以了解，解决和消除亚裔美国人社区的健康差距; B）建立新的和加强现有的私人和公共伙伴关系，以增加外展，传播宣传和研究能力，以解决亚裔美国人的健康差距和社会不平等;以及c）培训一批健康和公共卫生专业人员，使他们能够以社区为基础，在亚裔美国人社区开展研究、外展、服务提供和宣传。CSAAH分为五个研究方向：1）心血管疾病和糖尿病; 2）肿瘤发生; 3）心理健康; 4）健康的社会和文化决定因素; 5）试点项目研究。有两个主要的研究项目提出了这项申请。OASIS项目的重点是制定和实施一种文化上适当的基于信仰的干预措施，以减少南亚社区的肥胖和社会压力。第二个研究项目测试了试点干预措施的有效性，以降低中国乳腺癌幸存者的水肿风险，并改善这些妇女的生活质量和健康问题。此外，还有许多社区参与，研究培训，教育，传播，以及社区健康和资源需求评估计划在赠款期间与当地和国家的学术和社区合作伙伴服务亚裔美国人人口。

The New York University (NYU) Center for the Study of Asian American Health (CSAAH) is a partnership of an academic medical and research center (NYU), several healthcare and public hospital organizations, and more than 55 community and government partners serving NYC's Asian American community. CSAAH's primary mission is to address, alleviate, and eliminate Asian American health disparities through a trans disciplinary and community-engaged research approach. To accomplish this mission, CSAAH is committed to the following guiding principles: 1) systemic change through the use of multiple strategies and working with diverse stakeholders; 2) equitable "partnerships" in research, training, and outreach; 3) action-oriented research; 4) strengthening research capacity of both community and academic partners to fully engage in the research process; and 5) conducting multicultural evaluation as a means to foster ownership, sustainability and impact. These guiding principles are integrated in each of CSAAH's four cores: 1) Administrative, 2) Research, 3) Research Training and Education, and 4) Community Engagement and Outreach. The Specific Aims of the overall Center are to: a) develop and conduct research to understand, address, and eliminate health disparities in the Asian American community; b) build new and strengthen existing private and public partnerships in order to increase outreach, dissemination advocacy, and research capacity to address Asian American health disparities and social inequalities; and c) train a cadre of health and public health professionals on community-based approaches to conducting research, outreach, service delivery, and advocacy in the Asian American community. CSAAH has been organized into five research tracks: 1) Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes; 2) Tumorigenesis; 3) Mental Health; 4) Social and Cultural Determinants of Health; and 5) Pilot Project Research. There are two main research projects proposed for this application. The OASIS Project is focused on developing and implementing a culturally-appropriate faith-based intervention to reduce obesity and social stressors in South Asian communities. The second research project tests the efficacy of a pilot intervention to reduce the risk of lymphedema among Chinese breast cancer survivors and improve quality of life and health issues for these women. In addition, there are many community engagement, research training, education, dissemination, and community health and resource needs assessments planned during the grant period with local and national academic and community partners serving Asian Americans populations.
