Reducing Health Disparities in Vulnerable African American Families and Communiti

描述(申请人提供)：在接下来的五年里，MSM将继续基于以下基础进行CEHD研究：1)长期和热情地致力于服务于服务不足的家庭和社区，2)促进少数群体健康的研究议程，3)培养未来将继承这一领导传统的少数群体科学家的记录，4)继续大力推动社区组织成为受过教育的健康信息消费者。该机构将追求其战略愿景，强调以社区为中心的方法，以服务于服务不足的社区的健康需求，以及促进以社区为基础的解决方案，以影响健康差距的转换研究组合。拟议的方案符合CBPR模式的这一共同愿景，该模式整合了我们与学术机构、公民组织、政府机构、社区组织、学校、监狱、社区诊所、卫生服务提供者和政策制定者的密切合作关系网络。具体地说，(研究项目1)是一项干预研究，将评估出狱归来的被监禁妇女，并评估与家庭和社区生活重新融合的战略(研究项目1)。CEHD还将通过横断面设计(研究项目2)研究二手烟暴露于非裔美国儿童的邻居和父母的决定因素和后果。发展方法(研究项目3)将评估社区开发的育儿课程，评估优质育儿在多大程度上可以减少贫困对父母心理健康、学龄前儿童发展和行为健康的负面影响。中心将开展的工作的总体评价将记录社区真正参与和参与研究如何能够促进非裔美国人设施和社区的健康促进和疾病预防。CEHD的工作将通过行政核心、研究核心、研究教育和培训核心以及与亚特兰大社区规划单元V、X、Y和Z的居民互动的社区参与核心来实施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the next five years, the MSM will continue the CEHD research based on: 1) Its longstanding and passionate commitment to serving underserved families and communities, 2) a research agenda that advances minority health; 3) a track record of educating future minority scientists that will continue this legacy of leadership and 4) a strong push to continue to assist community based organization to become empowered as educated consumers of health information. The institution will pursue its strategic vision that emphasizes a community-centered approach to serving the health needs of underserved communities and a translational research portfolio that fosters community-based solutions to impacting health disparities. The proposed Program aligns with this shared vision of a CBPR model that integrates our intenvoven network of partnerships with academic institutions, civic organizations, government agencies, community-based organizations, schools, prisons, neighborhood clinics, health providers and policy makers. Specifically, (research project #1) is an intervention study that will assess incarcerated women returning from prison and assess strategies for reintegration with their families and community life (research project #1). The CEHD will also study the neighborhood and parent determinants and consequences of secondhand smoke exposure on African American children through a cross-sectional design (research project #2). A developmental approach (research project #3) will evaluate a community-developed parenting curriculum, which assesses the extent to which quality parenting can reduce the negative impact of poverty on parental mental health and preschool child development and behavioral health. The overall evaluation of the work to be undertaken by the CEHD will document how genuine community engagement and participation in research can facilitate health promotion and disease prevention in African American facilities and communities. The work of the CEHD will be implemented through an Administrative Core, Research Core, Research Education and Training Core, and a Community Engagement Core interfacing with residents from Atlanta Neighborhood Planning Units V, X, Y and Z.
