Bronx Center to Reduce & Eliminate Ethnic and Racial He*

描述（由申请人提供）：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（AECOM）建议建立一个卓越的社区外展合作伙伴关系中心，研究健康差异和培训（项目出口）被称为布朗克斯中心，以减少和消除民族和种族健康差异（BxCREED）。该提案源于医学院通过其社区与协作健康研究所和西班牙裔卓越中心以及与赫伯特H.雷曼学院-纽约市立大学（一个西班牙裔服务机构）、卫生部队-社区预防卫生研究所（一个以社区为基础的同伴教育组织）、临床主任网络（CDN）和AECOM的附属教学医院、Montefiore和Jacobi医疗中心。BxCREED的总体使命是减少和消除在布朗克斯，纽约市的民族和种族的健康差距，并通过促进，协调和医学院的健康差距研究一体化的国家;社区外展，信息传播和合作;卫生专业人员，社区成员，决策者和政府官员的健康差距教育;本科、研究生和博士后水平的调查人员培训;加强和扩大布朗克斯现有的学术社区伙伴关系。BxCREED最初的重点将是一级、二级和三级预防和治疗与布朗克斯和全国非裔美国人和拉丁美洲人过度发病率和死亡率最大来源相关的一系列疾病--心血管和脑血管疾病、糖尿病及其并发症。由于非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔人口遭受导致死亡和残疾的多种风险因素的比率较高（即，糖尿病、高血压、血脂异常、肥胖、吸烟、教育和社会经济地位低下等）BxCREED将强调全面的、文化上和语言上适当的干预措施，利用卫生部队在培训和支持非专业同行教育者进行研究和干预方面的专门知识。BxCREED将以社会生态学和家庭系统理论以及生物心理社会模型为指导。具体目标将包括在雷曼学院建立一个新的布朗克斯财团公共卫生硕士学位课程;通过AECOM临床研究培训计划，AECOM健康差异教师发展奖学金最终获得临床研究方法博士后硕士学位;通过CDN进行健康差异网络广播;并与AECOM西班牙裔卓越中心和糖尿病研究与培训中心以及CDC资助的布朗克斯REACH 2010密切合作。BxCREED将建立行政，研究和试点研究，培训，社区推广和信息传播，健康差异教育和共享资源核心。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) proposes to establish a Center of Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach, Research on Health Disparities and Training (PROJECT EXPORT) to be called the Bronx Center to Reduce and Eliminate Ethnic and Racial Health Disparities (BxCREED). The proposal originates in the College of Medicine's initiatives in building academic-community partnerships through its Institute for Community and Collaborative Health and Hispanic Center of Excellence and through its long-standing relationships with Herbert H. Lehman College-CUNY (a Hispanic-Serving Institution), Health Force--Community Preventive Health Institute (a community-based peer education organization), the Clinical Directors Network (CDN), and AECOM' s affiliated teaching hospitals, Montefiore and Jacobi Medical Centers. The overall mission of BxCREED is to reduce and eliminate ethnic and racial health disparities in the Bronx, New York City, and the nation through promotion, coordination, and integration of health disparities research at the College of Medicine; community outreach, information dissemination, and collaboration; health disparities education for health professionals, community members, policy-makers and public officials; training of investigators at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral levels; and strengthening and expanding existing academic-community partnerships in the Bronx. The initial focus of BxCREED will be the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention and treatment of the cluster of conditions associated with the greatest source of excess morbidity and mortality among African-Americans and Latinos in the Bronx and the nation--cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and their complications. Because African-American and Latino populations suffer higher rates of the multiple risk factors that lead to death and disability (i.e., diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemias, obesity, smoking, and low educational and socioeconomic status, etc.) BxCREED will emphasize comprehensive, culturally- and linguistically-appropriate interventions that draw upon Health Force' s expertise in training and supporting lay peer educators in research and intervention. BxCREED will be guided by social ecology and family systems theories and the biopsychosocial model. Specific Aims will include the establishment of a new Bronx consortium Masters in Public Health degree program at Lehman College; an AECOM Health Disparities Faculty Development Fellowship culminating in a post-doctoral Masters degree in Clinical Research Methods through the AECOM Clinical Research Training Program; health disparities webcasts through CDN; and close collaboration with the AECOM Hispanic Center of Excellence and Diabetes Research and Training Center and the CDC-funded Bronx REACH 2010. BxCREED will establish Administrative, Research and Pilot Study, Training, Community Outreach and Information Dissemination, Health Disparities Education, and Shared Resources Cores.
