South Texas Pediatric Minority Based CCOP

南得克萨斯州少数族裔儿童社区临床肿瘤学项目的长期目标 (STP-MB-CCOP)是为了降低墨西哥裔美国人(M- A；在这里用作西班牙裔的同义词)居住在服务区的儿童和青少年。 STP-MB-CCOP的四个具体目标是：1)提供全面、集成的数据管理 服务于南得克萨斯州地理区域的儿科肿瘤学提供者可获得的服务；2) 为儿科肿瘤学家、数据管理和支持人员提供外展诊所的差旅支持 在医疗服务不足的地区内；3)在文化上提供集中的西班牙语翻译系统 对服务区的墨西哥裔美国人很敏感；以及4)开展当地癌症控制试点 与服务区的墨西哥裔美国人有关的倡议。 该研究计划涉及圣安东尼奥的一个临床研究办公室的运作，该办公室负责协调 各组成机构的数据管理活动，包括主要数据收集和提交， IRB批准、西班牙语翻译、研究基地审计和样本收集。它将使用信息学 数据交换和采集系统(IDEAS)基于Web的系统，可由所有STP-MB访问- CCOP中心，无论其位置如何。各级外联活动(教育、数据管理 将在边境县提供驻地儿科肿瘤学家和外展诊所的支助)，以便 让患有癌症的儿童和青少年有机会进行临床试验。集中的西班牙语翻译 同意书和教育材料将确保所有患者和家属在他们的 使用自己的语言，从而对治疗依从性产生积极影响。STP-MB-CCOP正在尝试 通过发展局部癌症控制来弥补儿科癌症控制和预防试验的缺乏 与墨西哥裔美国人相关的倡议，并可推广到其他COG CCOP机构。 该计划有一个持续的评估计划，涉及机构PI和 它们的CRA、行政执行委员会的每月会议和有所有人参加的季度会议 STP-MB-CCOP成员审查财团活动。

The long-term goal of the South Texas Pediatric Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program (STP-MB-CCOP) is to reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of cancer among Mexican-American (M- A; herein used synonymously with Hispanic) children and adolescents residing in the service area. The four specific aims of the STP-MB-CCOP are: 1) Provide comprehensive, integrated data management services accessible to pediatric oncology providers serving the geographic region known as South Texas; 2) Provide travel support for pediatric oncologists, data management and support personnel to outreach clinics within the medically under served areas; 3) Provide a centralized Spanish translation system culturally sensitive to the Mexican-American population in the service area; and 4) Develop local cancer control pilot initiatives relevant to the Mexican-American population in the service area. The research plan involves the operation of a Clinical Research Office in San Antonio that coordinates the data management activities of the component institutions, including primary data collection and submission, IRB approval, Spanish translation, research base audits and sample collection. It will use the Informatics Data Exchange and Acquisition System (IDEAS) a Web based system that can be accessed by all STP-MB- CCOP centers regardless of their location. Outreach activities at all level (education, data management support of resident pediatric oncologist and outreach clinics) will be provided in border counties to allow children and adolescents with cancer to have access to clinical trials. Centralized Spanish translation of consent forms and educational materials will assure that all patients and family receives information in their own language with a resulting positive impact on compliance with treatment. STP-MB-CCOP is attempting to remedy the paucity of pediatric cancer control and preventive trials by developing local cancer control initiatives pertinent to the Mexican-American population and expandable to other COG CCOP institutions. The program has an ongoing evaluation program involving weekly meetings between institution PIs and their CRAs, monthly meeting of the Administrative Executive Committee and quarterly meeting involving all STP-MB-CCOP members to review the consortium activities.
