Deep South Partnership for Prevention of CVD Disparities

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们的伙伴关系建立在少数服务系统（库珀绿色医院，矿区医学会和塔斯基吉大学）和研究密集型医疗中心之间的富有成效的关系，亚拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）专注于CVD预防，护理和结果的不平等。 我们的团队有能力进行初始投资，并建立一个科学生产力和教育推广的持续计划。 通过每个跨学科项目，生物伦理考虑和社区合作伙伴关系编织创建一个有凝聚力的计划。 研究目标：以消除心血管疾病差异为长期目标，（1）调查遵守循证指南与对提供者的信任和感知歧视的措施之间的关联;（2）开发和测试基于DASH饮食的抗高血压干预措施，该饮食经修改以适应非洲裔美国人的文化;（3）描述传统非裔美国人食物的生物活性多酚成分，然后开发，传播和评估基于文化适当翻译结果的饮食教育计划;以及（4）开发和测试针对低识字率人群的戒烟干预措施，使用适合识字率的电子工具，针对用户的改变准备。 教育目标：为新出现的差异研究人员提供：（1）临床和结果研究的基本工具，包括生物统计学，流行病学，心理测量学，行为干预，公平和差异评估;（2）基本生物伦理问题，原则，态度和实践的知识，这些知识是对文化多样性和服务不足的人群进行公平研究的基础。 设置在南方深处，我们将继续推进降低生育率的研究，培训新的差距研究人员的干部，并通过社区赋权和社区健康顾问建立我们的翻译研究模型。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our PARTNERSHIP builds on a productive relationship between a minority serving system (Cooper Green Hospital, the Mineral District Medical Society, and Tuskegee University) and a research-intensive medical center, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to focus on inequities in CVD prevention, care, and outcomes. Our team has the demonstrated ability to take an initial investment and establish a sustained program of scientific productivity and educational outreach. Woven through each interdisciplinary project, bioethical considerations and community partnerships create a cohesive program. RESEARCH AIMS: with a long-term goal of eliminating CVD disparities, (1) investigate associations between adherence to evidence-based guidelines and measures of trust in providers and of perceived discrimination; (2) develop and test an anti-hypertensive intervention based on the DASH diet modified to be culturally appropriate for African-Americans; (3) characterize the bioactive polyphenolic composition of traditional African-American foods, followed by the development, dissemination, and evaluation of dietary education programs built on culturally appropriate translation of results; and (4) develop and test an intervention for tobacco smoking cessation in a low-literacy population, using literacy-appropriate electronic tools, tailored to the user's readiness for change. EDUCATION AIMS: provide emerging disparity researchers with: (1) basic tools of clinical and outcomes research, including biostatistics, epidemiology, psychometrics, behavioral interventions, equity and disparity assessment; and (2) knowledge of fundamental bioethical issues, principles, attitudes, and practices underlying equitable research with culturally diverse and underserved populations. Set in the DEEP SOUTH, we will move forward with disparity-reducing research, training a cadre of new disparity researchers, and building our model of translating research through community empowerment and Community Health Advisors.
