Inaugural Conference on Implementation Science for Cancer Control in Africa (ISC2-Africa)

项目总结 根据世界卫生组织的数据，非洲非传染性疾病的发病率和死亡率 到2030年将超过传染病。虽然非洲在控制癌症方面面临着几个挑战， 实施科学领域(IS)为非洲的癌症控制提供了一线希望。被定义为“研究 促进采用循证做法、干预措施和政策并将其纳入 常规保健和公共卫生环境以改善对人口健康的影响“，是必须解决的关键问题 非洲癌症不成比例的负担。不幸的是，非洲没有急需的研究。 IS的员工队伍。非洲癌症研究和培训组织(主动脉)，非洲 行为研究(ABER)中心、非洲癌症回声和国际癌症研究 伙伴关系(ICRP)合作创建了非洲癌症控制实施科学(ISC2- 非洲)网络。我们提议每两年举行一次ISC2-非洲成立大会，作为一项 主动脉国际癌症会议会议。国际科学理事会第二次非洲会议的主要目标是 在非洲，提升是一种学术。此外，我们将发展一支非洲IS员工队伍，这将带来独特的 解决非洲癌症控制以及有效提供和整合癌症控制的前景 非洲卫生保健系统和社区内的干预措施。利用创新的框架， 会议将促进：(1)在非洲国家内为以非洲为中心的体制建设战略调动资源；(2) 与关键利益攸关方建立伙伴关系，以实现有效和符合文化的研究；以及(3)发展 并在整个非洲成功地实施了IS研究。是我们会议的基石--我们相信 最具创新性的方面是，最终的会议议程是基于癌症所确定的需求 通过SWOT分析调查访问非洲的科学家和临床医生。

PROJECT SUMMARY According to the World Health Organization, morbidity and mortality from non-communicable diseases in Africa will surpass that of communicable diseases by 2030. While Africa faces several challenges in controlling cancer, the field of Implementation Science (IS) offers a ray of hope for cancer control in Africa. Defined as the “study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into routine health care and public health settings to improve the impact on population health”, IS is crucial to address the disproportionate burden of cancer in Africa. Unfortunately, Africa does not have the much needed research workforce for IS. The African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), African Behavioral Research (ABeR) Center, Africa Cancer ECHO, and International Cancer Research Partnership (ICRP) have partnered to create an Implementation Science for Cancer Control in Africa (ISC2- Africa) Network. We are proposing an ISC2-Africa inaugural conference to be held biennially as a pre- conference to the AORTIC International Cancer Conference. The primary goal of the ISC2-Africa conference is to elevate IS scholarship in Africa. In addition, we will develop an African IS workforce that will bring unique perspective to addressing cancer control in Africa as well as effectively deliver and integrate cancer control interventions within the Africa health care systems and communities. Utilizing an innovative framework, the conference will foster: (1) the mobilization of resources within African countries for Afro-centric IS strategies; (2) partnership with key stakeholders for effective and culturally appropriate IS research; and (3) the development and successful implementation of IS research across Africa. A cornerstone of our conference -- and we believe the most innovative aspect-- is that the final conference agenda is based on the needs identified by cancer scientists and clinicians in Africa through a SWOT Analysis survey.
