Expand NCI-Supported Community Outreach Capacity

南卡罗来纳州癌症差异社区网络(SCCDCN)-II将南卡罗来纳州(SC)的非裔美国人(AA)浸信会教堂确定为我们的主要合作伙伴和目标“社区”；然而，SCCDCN-II也接触到地理上接近AA浸信会教堂的更大社区，包括加入这些努力的其他教派的成员(这些教派加在一起，构成了我们整个州)。我们专注于与州浸信会年轻女性辅助会(YWA)成员合作，有效地制定、实施和评估基于社区的计划，通过降低癌症发病率和死亡率以及通过增加对癌症预防和控制的参与来减少癌症差异。 SCCDCN-11的社区外展计划(COP)将建立在第一个项目期间巩固的基础设施(SCCDCN-I)的基础上，并与现有的社区合作伙伴合作，继续利用以社区为基础的参与性方法来消除癌症差距。基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)是一种提高科学有效性和人口相关性的方法，最终为所有利益攸关方提供关于我们可以做些什么来改善健康并共同解决健康差距的宝贵信息。CBPR提供了 整个SCCDCN-11和我们对《公约》缔约方会议的做法。

The South Carolina Cancer Disparities Community Network (SCCDCN)-II identifies African-American (AA) Baptist churches in South Carolina (SC) as our primary partner and target "community"; however, SCCDCN-ll also reaches the larger communities in geographic proximity to the AA Baptist churches including members of other denominations who have joined these efforts (that, together, comprise our entire state). We focus on collaborating with the State Baptist Young Woman's Auxiliary (YWA) members to effectively develop, deliver, and evaluate community-based programs to reduce cancer disparities by reducing cancer incidence and mortality and by increasing participation in cancer prevention and control. The community outreach program (COP) ofthe SCCDCN-ll will build on the infrastructure solidified during the first project period (SCCDCN-I) and collaborate with established community partners to continue to utilize community-based, participatory approaches to eliminate cancer disparities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a way to increase scientific validity and population relevance, ultimately providing all stakeholders with valuable information about what we can do to improve health and address health disparities together. CBPR provides the framework of the entire SCCDCN-ll and our approach to the COP.
