这项申请将建立一个全面的差异研究卓越中心， 社区参与（CEDREC）作为威尔康奈尔医学院，亨特学院 护理学院-纽约城市大学，林肯医疗和心理健康中心和中心， 纽约大学医学院的健康行为改变。导演Carla Boutin-Foster博士 和联合主任玛丽查尔森博士将建立4个核心：1）研究核心将促进健康 利用威尔康奈尔大学和纽约大学在翻译方面的专业知识， 行为科学研究; 2）研究培训核心将增加训练有素的少数民族的数量 通过开发一个提供健康差异研究的健康差异研究项目， 对亨特和林肯初级教师的少数民族护理学生进行培训; 3）社区参与 矿石将加强中哈莱姆和南布朗克斯的研究能力，并建立一个活跃的 参与设计新的社区项目的社区咨询委员会;以及 行政核心将协调这些科学举措，并建立一个跨学科的执行机构， 委员会和外部咨询委员会，将确保CEDREC的增长和可持续性。两 建议在我们完成的NHLBI资助项目的基础上进行研究。第一个题为“试用 高血压患者的动机性访谈、积极情感和自我肯定（TRIUMPH）"，是一项 旨在改善黑人高血压患者血压控制的随机对照试验。 TRIUMPH以社会认知理论为框架，运用积极情感诱导、自我肯定 引导和动机访谈作为行为策略。第二，“多行为干预， 增加筛选和加强风险降低黑人男子（MISTER-B）"，是一种新的，随机 一项基于社区的试验，在理发店进行，目标是50岁以上的高血压黑人男性， 没有结直肠癌筛查。MISTER-B将采用两种策略来提高血液流速 压力控制和结直肠癌筛查：使用动机的治疗性生活方式咨询 访谈和同行咨询使用训练有素的病人导航从社区。CEDREC是独一无二的 因为它1）针对难以接触的人群，黑人男性，2）利用非传统场所，3） 将基本的行为科学理论转化为理解和开发解决方案， 健康问题。

This application will establish a Comprehensive Center of Excellence in Disparities Research and ommunity Engagement (CEDREC) as a consortium between Weill Cornell Medical College, Hunter College School of Nursing -City University of New York, Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center and the Center for Healthful Behavior Change at New York University School of Medicine. The Director Dr. Carla Boutin-Foster and Co-Director Dr. Mary Charlson will establish 4 cores: 1)The Research Core will advance health disparities research by leveraging Weill Cornell's and New York University's expertise in translational behavioral science research ; 2)The Research Training Core will increase the number of well-trained minority nvestigators by developing a Health Disparities Research program that provides health disparities research training for minority nursing students at Hunter and junior faculty at Lincoln; 3) The Community Engagement ore will strengthen the capacity for research in Central Harlem and the South Bronx and establish an active ommunity Advisory Board that will participate in designing new community-based projects; and 4)The Administrative Core will coordinate these scientific initiatives and establish an interdisciplinary Executive Committee and External Advisory Board that will ensure the growth and sustainability of CEDREC. Two studies that build upon our completed NHLBI funded projects are proposed. The first entitled "Trial Using Motivational Interviewing and Positive Affect and Self-affirmation in Hypertension (TRIUMPH)", is a randomized controlled trial designed to improve blood pressure control in hypertensive black patients. TRIUMPH is framed on Social Cognitive Theory and applies positive affect induction, self-affirmation nduction, and motivational interviewing as behavioral strategies. The second, "Multibehavior Intervention to Increase Screening and Enhance Risk Reduction in Black Men (MISTER-B)", is a novel, randomized community-based trial, conducted in barbershops that targets hypertensive black men over age 50 who have not had colorectal cancer screening. MISTER-B will apply two strategies to improve the rates of blood pressure control and colorectal cancer screening: therapeutic lifestyle counseling using motivational interviewing and peer counseling using trained patient navigators from the community. CEDREC is unique because it 1) targets hard to reach populations, black men, 2) utilizes non-traditional venues and 3) translates basic behavioral science theories to understanding and developing solutions to pressing public health issues.
