Hispanic Health Disparities Research Center

描述（由申请人提供）：计划概述-西班牙裔健康差异研究促进中心。西班牙裔健康差异研究促进中心的目的是参与并领导以研究为基础的创新，以减少西班牙裔健康差异。该中心将重点关注西班牙裔健康差异。中心的使命有三个方面。该中心将发展得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校，健康科学学院和得克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心，公共卫生学院之间的合作关系，这将促进西班牙裔健康差距奖学金发展的可持续机制。该中心将通过学习机构、指导性研究和传播新知识来指导卫生研究人员。这些受指导的健康研究人员将开始开发西班牙裔健康研究创新的知识基础。 该中心的使命将由一个概念框架，使明确的利益变量，影响西班牙裔的健康差距和机制，该中心将使用影响减少西班牙裔的健康差距的最终结果指导。该中心将促进对影响健康差距的变量进行研究。这些机制包括利用咨询委员会和两个机构的高级教员的专业知识征聘、甄选和指导教员。该中心将汇集一套试点研究，每年的赠款，推进有关西班牙裔健康差距的知识和知识的最佳做法，以消除西班牙裔的健康差距。该中心将通过其指导和传播核心传播所发现的知识。中心感兴趣的变量分为五个维度。健康的决定因素、健康差异对人口健康的影响、健康差异产生的卫生保健需求、消除健康差异的政策和制度支持、健康状况数据、差异趋势和最佳方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Program Overview - Center for the Advancement of Hispanic Health Disparities Research. The purpose of the Center for the Advancement of Hispanic Health Disparities Research is to participate in and provide leadership to research-based innovations that will reduce Hispanic health disparities. The Center will focus on Hispanic health disparities. The mission of the Center is threefold. The Center will develop collaborative relationships between the University of Texas at El Paso, College of Health Sciences and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health that will foster sustainable mechanisms for scholarship development in Hispanic health disparities. The Center will mentor health researchers through learning institutes, guided research studies, and dissemination of new knowledge. These mentored health researchers will begin the development of knowledge base of innovation in Hispanic health research. The mission of the Center will be guided by a conceptual framework that makes explicit the variables of interest that influence Hispanic health disparities and the mechanisms the Center will use to impact the ultimate outcome of reducing Hispanic health disparities. The Center will act as a catalyst for research on the variables affecting health disparities. The mechanisms include the recruitment, selection and mentoring of faculty using the expert knowledge of the Advisory Committee and senior faculty of both institutions. The Center will assemble together a set of pilot studies each year of the grant that advance the knowledge about Hispanic health disparities and knowledge about the best practices to eliminate health disparities in Hispanics. The Center will channel the knowledge discovered via its mentoring and dissemination core. The variables of interest to the Center are clustered into five dimensions. Determinations of Health, Effects on Population Health Resulting from Health Disparities, Health Care Needs Resulting from Health Disparities, Policy and System Supports for Elimination of Health Disparities, and Health Status Data, Trends in Disparities, and Best Approaches.
