该项目的目标是翻译和实施一项以证据为基础的战略， 少数民族社区，定义为非裔美国人在圣路易斯，密苏里州，并评估的因素， 阻碍或促进这些战略的转化（即通过、调整和实施）。的 拟议的项目旨在扩大现有的跨学科伙伴关系，并与这种伙伴关系合作 翻译和实施适合圣路易斯背景和人口的循证战略。 该项目的社区行动计划将包括四个步骤：1）确定相关利益相关者 （a）加强与合作伙伴的合作，扩大现有的伙伴关系， 3）分享身体活动行为差异的评估数据 和获得身体活动的机会; 4）采用和实施基于证据的 战略适应圣路易斯的背景和人口。将进行全面评估， 在整个项目期间进行了多次评估， 伙伴关系的特点和能力，以共同努力，并确定在 调整和实施战略的过程。评估将估计和报告 潜在的可翻译性和公共卫生影响的实施战略，通过衡量各种 翻译的决定因素（如可行性、忠实性、适应性、经济成本、文化背景）。的一部分 在总结性评估中，项目小组将监测社区环境和居民的 实施特定策略之前和之后的行为，以记录实施的 策略增加了身体活动行为。定性和定量评估的数据将 与现有的传播、采用、适应和 实施循证干预措施。将采用深入的案例研究方法， 向其他社区和从业人员传播经验教训。

The goal of this project is to translate and implement an evidence-based strategy for a racial and ethnic minority community, defined as African American in St. Louis, MO, and assess the factors that hinder or facilitate the translation (i.e. adoption, adaptation and implementation) of these strategies. The proposed project aims to expand an existing inter-disciplinary partnership and work with this partnership to translate and implement evidence-based strategies adapted for the St. Louis context and population. The Community Action Plan for this project will include four steps: 1) identifying relevant stakeholders and partners and expanding the current partnership, 2) providing technical assistance workshops based on the needs of the partnership, 3) sharing assessment data on disparities in physical activity behavior and in access to physical activity opportunities and 4) adopting and implementing evidence-based strategies adapted for the St. Louis context and population. A comprehensive evaluation will be conducted several times throughout the project to assess the intra- and inter-organizational characteristics and the partnerships' capacity to work together and to identify strengths and challenges in the process of adapting and implementing the strategies. The evaluation will estimate and report the potential translatability and public health impact of the implemented strategies by measuring a variety of translation determinants (e.g. feasibility, fidelity, adaptability, economic cost, cultural context). As part of the summative evaluation, the project team will monitor community environments and residents' behaviors before and after specific strategies are implemented to document whether the implemented strategy increased physical activity behavior. Data from the qualitative and quantitative assessments will be triangulated and compared to existing theories of dissemination, adoption, adaptation and implementation of evidence-based interventions. An in-depth case study approach will be used to disseminate the lessons learned to other communities and practitioners.
