描述（由申请人提供）：梅特卡夫和康科迪亚儿童健康改善的目标是通过密尔沃基健康改善伙伴关系减少儿童健康差距。合作伙伴包括：威斯康星州医学院、密尔沃基社区之家、隔壁基金会、密尔沃基市卫生局、威斯康星州黑人健康联盟、儿童医院和卫生系统。有三个具体目标：1。确定梅特卡夫和康科迪亚社区的利益相关者，并使其参与改善儿童健康的MCW合作伙伴。2. 通过社区居民的解释和传播，识别、绘制和优先考虑影响儿童健康的社区风险/保护因素。3. 在“试点干预”的规划、实施、评估和传播结果时，集体使用社区的主要资产。中国文化中心将实施社区驱动的研究方法，重视社区利益相关者所关注的问题。通过一个由8名学术成员、8名社区领导和4名社区居民组成的指导委员会，中国中国医疗中心将利用从社区收集的正式数据集和信息，开展基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）。在社区居民生活经验的基础上，学院研究人员与社区合作，将确定需要解决的最相关的儿童健康研究问题。然后，学术界和社区专家将共同设计和实施一项试点干预措施。最重要的是，中智将遵循一条促进社区居民参与CBPR模式各个阶段的研究路径。学术专家和社区专家之间的共同学习将成为改善儿童健康的推动力。中国医学中心参与设计的试点干预措施将为实现“健康人2010”健康差距目标提供一个跳板。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Goal of Child Health Improvement in Metcalfe and Concordia (CHIMC) is to reduce child health disparities through a Milwaukee health improvement partnership. CHIMC's partners include: Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), Neighborhood House of Milwaukee, Next Door Foundation, City of Milwaukee Health Department, Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin, Inc. and Children's Hospital and Health System. There are three specific aims: 1. To identify and engage Metcalfe and Concordia neighborhoods stakeholders as partners with MCW in child health improvement. 2. To identify, map and prioritize neighborhood risk/protective factors influencing child health through community residents' interpretation and dissemination. 3. To collectively use key community assets in the planning, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of findings within' a pilot intervention. CHIMC will implement a community-driven research approach that values the concerns/issues identified by community stakeholders. Through a Steering Committee consisting of 8 academic members, 8 community leaders, and 4 community residents, CHIMC will embark upon Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) using formal data sets and information gathered from the community on numerous health care issues. Building on the life experiences of community residents, collegial researchers in partnership with the community will identify the most relevant child health research question to be addressed. Academic and community experts will then work together to design and implement a pilot intervention. Most importantly, CHIMC will follow a research pathway that fosters participation of community residents in all phases of the CBPR model. Co-learning between academic and community experts will be the driving force behind child health improvement. CHIMC's co-designed pilot intervention will provide a springboard toward progress in meeting Healthy People 2010 health disparity goals.
