Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TB-CCN): A Model fo*

描述（由申请人提供）： 为了应对迫切需要创造解决方案，以发展有效的癌症干预措施，以有效地渗透到社区，H。南佛罗里达大学李莫菲特癌症中心和研究所与当地社区卫生中心、社会服务机构、信仰团体、成人教育和扫盲团体以及当地媒体合作，将组成坦帕湾社区癌症网络（TB-CCN）。 这一地方网络的目标是解决影响医疗服务不足、识字率低的人的关键的获取、预防和控制问题。 以及希尔斯伯勒、皮内拉斯和帕斯科县选定地区的低收入人口。 这三个县的地区种族多样，包括越来越多的外国出生的人口。 实现这一目标将涉及癌症意识和教育活动，使用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）方法，以及建立可持续的合作和伙伴关系。 该网络的发展借鉴了我们现有的社区-学术伙伴关系的优势，我们在开发创新教育和培训计划方面的丰富经验，这些计划研究了癌症护理连续体中文化和扫盲的关系，以及社区合作伙伴的共同目标是改善健康。 指导我们网络发展的基本理论原则包括弗莱雷的批判教育学和批判健康人类学。 具体目标是： 1)通过合作、伙伴关系和社区能力建设活动，建立一个坚实、强大和可持续的核心组织网络基础设施（第一阶段）： 2)建立一个教育和培训中心，以提供创新的社区参与性研究、培训和教育（第二阶段）; 3)通过传统媒体和社区媒体传播循证信息（第三阶段）。 项目评价将包括每个阶段的过程评价和成果评价。 TB-CCN的总体成功将通过实现可持续的教育网络来评估;通过建立坚实的可持续基础设施来评估信息的研究和传播，发展相关的教育和培训活动，增加筛查服务的获取和利用，产生研究建议和其他独特的知识应用。 预计TB-CCN的努力将产生教育、服务提供和研究的创新模式，这些模式可以随时出口和转移，广泛应用于其他环境和人群，以减少癌症健康差距

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to an urgent need to create solutions for the development of efficacious cancer interventions for the effective penetration within the community, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute at the University of South Florida, in collaboration with local community-based heath centers, social service agencies, faith-based groups, adult education and literacy groups, and local media will form the Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TB-CCN). This local network will aim to address critical access, prevention and control issues that impact medically underserved, low-literacy and low-income populations in selected areas of Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco Counties. This tri-county area is ethnically diverse and includes a growing number of foreign-born populations. Meeting this goal will involve cancer awareness and education activities, the use of community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods, and the creation of sustainable collaborations and partnerships. The development of the network draws on the strengths of our existing community-academic partnerships, our considerable experience in developing innovative education and training programs that examine the nexus of culture and literacy across the continuum of cancer care, and community partners with a mutual goal of improved health. Underlying theoretical principles that guide the development of our network include Freire's critical pedagogy and critical anthropology of health. Specific aims are to: 1) Create a solid, robust and sustainable core organizational network infrastructure through collaborations, partnerships and community capacity building activities (Phase I): 2) Develop an Education and Training Hub for the delivery of innovative community-based participatory research, training and education (Phase II); and 3) Disseminate evidence-based information through traditional and community-based media (Phase III). Project evaluation will include both process and outcome evaluations according to each phase. The overall success of the TB-CCN will be evaluated by the achievement of a sustainable network for education; research and diffusion of information as assessed by the creation of a solid sustainable infrastructure, development of relevant education and training activities, increased access and utilizations of screening services, generation of research proposals and other unique applications of knowledge. It is anticipated that the efforts of the TB-CCN will yield innovative models for education, service delivery and research that can readily be exported and transferred for broad application to other settings and populations for reducing cancer health disparities
