描述（由申请人提供）：梅特卡夫和康科迪亚（CHIMC）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。CHIMC的合作伙伴包括：威斯康星州医学院（MCW）、密尔沃基邻里之家、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。具体目标有三：1。确定和参与梅特卡夫和康科迪亚社区利益相关者作为合作伙伴与MCW在儿童健康改善。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邻里风险/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关键的社区资产。CHIMC将实施社区驱动的研究方法，重视社区利益相关者确定的关注/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，CHIMC将利用从社区收集的关于许多医疗保健问题的正式数据集和信息，开展基于社区的前瞻性研究（CBPR）。在社区居民的生活经验的基础上，与社区合作的大学研究人员将确定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试点干预措施。最重要的是，CHIMC将遵循促进社区居民参与CBPR模型各个阶段的研究途径。学术界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。CHIMC共同设计的试点干预措施将为实现2010年健康人群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.
