CORE--MULTI-ETHNIC EMPHASIS CORE

多民族强调核心的主要目的是通过创造具有文化能力的研究，提高多民族群体的健康水平，减少健康差距。通过这一核心，我们将发展基础设施，通过培育社区伙伴关系和培养有文化能力的护士研究人员，促进与少数族裔的研究。这一核心旨在实现CRRVP的第三个目标。具体目标如下。1.扩大开展社区协作、多族裔研究的能力，以解决与弱势群体健康差距有关的问题，这些差距通常可归因于年龄、性别、族裔和社会经济地位。2.优化多种族研究参与者的招募和留住，特别是最有可能存在健康差距的黑人和西语裔美国人。3.促进对文化敏感的、量身定做的个人团体或系统干预措施的发展。4.维持和扩大以多族裔社区为基础的专家咨询委员会，建立协作社区关系。需要进行研究，以确定阻碍和增进多族裔群体健康的因素。对这些因素的描述不仅必须在文化和种族上具体，而且还必须具体到年龄、性别和背景。此外，为增进多民族群体的健康而开展的研究必须以理论为导向，或在概念上是合理的，并以优越的研究方法为基础。这一核心将用于建立社区合作关系，确保由降低弱势群体风险中心(CRRVP)支持的项目的文化能力，并为招募和保留多民族受试者以及制定干预措施提供指导。

The primary purpose of the Multiethnic Emphasis Core is to enhance the health and reduce the health disparities in multiethnic groups by creating culturally competent research. Through this core, we will develop the infrastructure to facilitate research with ethnic minorities by nurturing community partnerships and preparing culturally competent nurse researchers. This core was designed to address the third aim of the CRRVP. The specific aims are as follows. 1. Expand the capacity to conduct community collaborative, multiethnic research addressing issues related to health disparities among vulnerable groups, usually attributable to age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. 2. Optimize recruitment and retention of multiethnic research participants, particularly Black and Hispanic Americans who are most at risk for health disparities. 3. Foster the development of culturally sensitive, tailored, individual group or system interventions. 4. Build collaborative community relationships by maintaining and expanding the multiethnic community-based advisory board of experts. Research is needed to delineate factors that hinder and enhance the health of multiethnic groups. The delineation of these factors must be not only culturally and ethnically specific, but also specific to age, gender, and context. Moreover, research developed to enhance the health of multiethnic groups must be theory-driven or conceptually sound and based on superior research methodology. This core will be used to build collaborative community relationships, assure cultural competence of projects supported by the Center for Reducing Risks in Vulnerable Populations (CRRVP), and provide guidance for recruitment and retention of multiethnic subjects and the development of interventions.
