Community Engagement/Outreach Core

洛杉矶县有无数的学术、私人、州和联邦机构，在基础和转化健康科学方面进行重要的研究。少数种族/族裔不太可能从这项研究中受益，无论是作为研究参与者还是信息接受者。因此，他们的健康知识和能力，倡导获得最相关的医学突破，研究，以及有关少数民族健康差距的信息是较低的，尽管事实上，他们将受益最大。 该中心为桥接研究，创新，教学和教育解决方案的IVIinority健康（BRITE）是一个学术社区合作伙伴关系，致力于消除健康差距在我们多样化的洛杉矶社区和国家。为了实现这一使命，社区参与和外展核心（CEOC）将：使用传统方法，新媒体和新技术，增加加州大学洛杉矶分校及其合作伙伴的健康研究成果的翻译和传播，以造福洛杉矶县的种族/少数民族。支持向其他研究人员、公共卫生部、种族/少数民族社区传达关键的社区卫生优先领域，发展和维持社区参与研究的能力。与加州大学洛杉矶分校临床和 翻译科学研究所（CTSI），我们将确定和传播研究成果，以少数民族社区在洛杉矶。县

Los Angeles County has a myriad of academic, private, state, and federal institutions that conduct vital research in basic and translational health sciences. Racial/ethnic minorities are less likely to benefit from this research, either as study participants or recipients ofthe information. Thus, their health literacy and ability to advocate for access to the most relevant medical breakthroughs, research, and information concerning minority health disparities is lower despite the fact that they would benefit the most. The Center for Bridging Research, Innovation, Teaching and Education Solutions for IVIinority Health (BRITE) is an academic-community partnership dedicated to eliminating health disparities in our diverse Los Angeles community and the nation. To achieve this mission, the Community Engagement and Outreach Core (CEOC) will: ¿ use traditional methods, new media, and novel technologies to increase the translation and dissemination of health research findings from UCLA and its partners to benefit racial/ethnic minorities in Los Angeles County ¿ support the communication of key community health priority areas to other researchers, the department of public health, racial/ethnic minority communities, and local and national policy makers, and ¿ develop and sustain community capacity for participation in research. In partnership with the UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), we will identify and disseminate research findings to minority communities in L.A. County.
