CANCER AWARENESS NETWORK FOR IMMIGRANT MINORITY POPULATI

我们建议在纽约大都会地区建立一个移民少数民族癌症意识网络（CANIMP），以增加纽约外国出生的少数民族社区的癌症控制活动和临床试验。 这将通过纽约大学医学院的两个主要倡议的联系来实现：（a）初级保健司的纽约移民健康工作队，和（B）NCI指定的卡普兰综合癌症中心。 代表五个移民群体（海地人、拉丁美洲人、加勒比东部人、韩国人和中国人）的社区组织将成为该项目的合作伙伴。 这个多元化的小组将允许进行独特的比较研究和协调的外联。 其他网络合作伙伴将包括癌症预防和筛查计划，如乳腺健康伙伴关系和ACS中国单位，NCI-CIS在纪念斯隆凯特琳，DHHS少数民族健康办公室和纽约市社区卫生诊所。在第一阶段的访谈中，将在五个移民群体中进行关于肺癌、前列腺癌、乳腺癌和宫颈癌的焦点小组和圆桌会议。 在第二阶段，年轻的科学家将与KCCC的研究人员合作开发试点癌症研究项目。 这些项目将在第三阶段发展成为经同行评审的竞争性建议书。 双语CANIMP工作人员将提供癌症社区教育，临床试验的种族提供者教育，审查书面材料，提供口译服务，并提供多语种信息热线。该项目将通过年度患者调查、第3年和第5年的提供者调查以及各种过程和结果指标进行评估，例如临床试验中招募的少数民族百分比和开发试点项目的少数民族初级科学家人数。

We propose the establishment of a Cancer Awareness Network for Immigrant Minority Populations (CANIMP) in the NY metropolitan area to increase cancer control activities and access to clinical trials in NY's foreign-born minority community. This will be achieved through the linkage of two major initiatives at NYU School of Medicine: (a) the New York Task Force on Immigrant Health (NYTFIH), Division of Primary Care, and (b) the NCI- designated Kaplan Comprehensive Cancer Center (KCCC). Community based organizations representing five immigrant groups (Haitian, Latino, ES-Caribbean, Korean, and Chinese) will be partners in this project. This diverse group will allow to conduct unique comparative research and coordinated outreach. Other network partners will include cancer prevention and screening programs such as the Breast Health Partnership and ACS Chinese Unit, NCI- CIS at Memorial Sloan Kettering, DHHS Office of Minority Health and NYC community health clinics. In Phase I interviews, focus groups, and roundtables on lung, prostate, breast, and cervical cancer will be conducted in five immigrant groups. In Phase II junior scientists will be partnered with established KCCC researchers to develop pilot cancer research projects. These projects will develop into peer- reviewed competitive proposals in Phase III. Bilingual CANIMP staff will provide cancer community education, ethnic provider education on clinical trials, review written materials, provide interpreter services, and staff a multilingual information line. The project will be evaluated through an annual patient survey, a provider survey in years 3 and 5, and through diverse process and outcome indicators such as percentage of minorities recruited into clinical trials and number of minority junior scientists developing pilot projects.
