TASK AREA B DEMONSTRATION PROJECT FOR THE JACKSON HEART STUDY (JHS) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CENTER (CEC).

JHS将继续对这一群体的心血管（CV）和相关疾病进行新的流行病学研究，作为科学界未来研究的资源，促进杰克逊地区的心血管健康，并鼓励代表性不足的少数民族学生从事生物医学职业。 此次收购的目的是提供一个社区参与中心，以支持活动，以促进心血管健康在杰克逊社区和超越。 其目标是（1）提供一个战略和基础设施，以提供及时的，以证据为基础的健康信息，特别是心脏病风险降低信息，特别是从JHS和其他相关的心血管疾病研究的结果;（2）在整个JHS地区进行以证据为基础的健康教育规划，以解决非洲裔美国人心脏病风险因素的降低;（3）建立战略伙伴关系，扩大JHS的覆盖范围;（4）开展以社区为基础的试点研究或示范项目，以降低心血管疾病风险，如果成功，可以扩大到更大的努力;（5）公布CEC工作的结果和影响。

the JHS will continue novel epidemiologic research on cardiovascular (CV) and related diseases in this cohort, serve as a resource to the scientific community for future research, promote cardiovascular health in the Jackson area, and encourage underrepresented minority students to pursue biomedical careers. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide a Community Engagement Center to support activities to promote cardiovascular health in the Jackson community and beyond. The objectives are to (1) provide a strategy and infrastructure for delivering timely, evidence-based health information in general and heart disease risk reduction information in particular, especially findings from JHS and other related CVD research; (2) conduct evidence-based health education programming throughout the JHS area that serves to address heart disease risk factor reduction in African Americans; (3) establish strategic partnerships that broaden the reach of the JHS; (4) perform community-based pilot research studies or demonstration projects for CVD risk reduction that, if successful, can be scalable to larger efforts; and (5) publish results and impact of CEC’s work.
