DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Faith-Academic Initiatives for Transforming Health (FAITH) in the Delta will bring together academics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science (UAMS) (Colleges of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing) and community faith leaders and organizations in two counties in the Delta (Jefferson and Phillips Counties), one ofthe most economically disadvantaged areas of the county. Building on previous community-academic partnerships, the project will involve sharing "best practices" methods (developed in previous partnered work) across counties and moving forward a planning process for a new intervention in each of the two counties. Using a "pure" concept of CBPR, community experts will select a health area for intervention and will be matched with UAMS academics experts who can provide guidance. Community members will receive education about health policy related to their chosen health area and academics will receive training from community experts about partnered research. RELEVANCE: Rural African Americans suffer a "double dose" of health disparities related to both race and rural residency. Disparities are especially severe in the Arkansas Delta region, which is disproportionally affected by poverty. This planning project will build upon longstanding community-academic partnerships to plan for health interventions in two Delta counties (Jefferson and Phillips counties). "Best practices" will be disseminated across counties.

描述(由申请者提供)：三角洲地区的信仰-学术倡议将汇集阿肯色大学医学院(UAMS)(医学院、公共卫生和护理学院)的学者以及三角洲地区两个县(杰斐逊县和菲利普斯县)的社区宗教领袖和组织，该县是该县经济最贫困的地区之一。在以前社区-学术伙伴关系的基础上，该项目将涉及在县之间分享(在以前的合作工作中制定的)“最佳做法”方法，并推进在两个县中每一个县进行新干预的规划进程。社区专家将使用“纯粹的”CBPR概念，选择一个健康领域进行干预，并与能够提供指导的UAMS学术专家进行匹配。社区成员将接受与他们选择的健康领域相关的卫生政策的教育，学者将接受社区专家关于合作研究的培训。 相关性：农村非裔美国人遭受与种族和农村居民身份有关的“双倍剂量”的健康差距。贫富差距在阿肯色州三角洲地区尤其严重，该地区受到贫困的影响不成比例。这一规划项目将建立在长期的社区-学术伙伴关系的基础上，以规划两个三角洲县(杰斐逊县和菲利普斯县)的卫生干预措施。“最佳做法”将在各县传播。
