Community Outreach Program

N3组：社区外展核心 社区外展计划的目标是增加对有益生物医学和行为程序的了解、获得和使用，以解决Al和拉丁裔社区中与癌症相关的健康差距。实现这一目标的具体目标是基于社区参与性研究(CBPR)的原则，它可以被定义为“一种伙伴关系的研究方法， 公平地让……社区成员、组织代表和研究人员参与研究进程的一个方面，在这个过程中，所有伙伴都提供专门知识，分享决策和所有权“。(22)区别于其他类型研究的关键概念是学术机构和社区之间的伙伴关系，所有方面的公平分配 研究过程(和金钱补偿)，以及数据的共享决策和所有权。(22)在Al社区，成功的方案包括青年戒烟、了解烟草使用模式、癌症预防和控制、虐待老年人、青年健康、遗传 问题、环境暴露和精神健康问题(23-32)CBPR还被用于Al社区的肥胖、(33，34)糖尿病、(35，36)和癌症等主题。(37，38)CBPR已成功地在拉丁裔社区用于癌症研究、培训和认识，(39)促进乳房健康。(40)艾滋病毒预防 方案，(41)和糖尿病控制和减少。(42)它被描述为拉美裔社区有价值的能力建设方法。(43) 参与这项提案的所有关键人员都使用了CBPR方法。在2004年。Greiner博士开始了一个纵向的CBPR项目，为堪萨斯城怀恩多特县妇女婴儿和儿童(WIC)诊所的拉丁裔妇女提供营养信息。堪萨斯州。这个项目服务于该州最贫穷的县，格雷纳博士的双语项目在5年内，2003年，已经为3000多名妇女提供了教育， 崔博士为Al社区制定了CBPR戒烟计划。2004年，戴利博士加入了他的行列，他们共同建立了AIHREA和一个研究团队，该团队拥有一个强大而活跃的社区咨询委员会(CAB)，该委员会每季度开会一次，为他们的所有研究提供意见。2002年，基米诺博士直接与堪萨斯州西南部的拉丁裔社区和东北部的堪萨斯州阿尔社区合作， 采用CBPR驱动的需求评估，从而在2006年编写了关于少数群体健康和健康差距的第一份国家报告(见附录)。库比蒂诺博士与社区伙伴合作发展了拉丁裔健康倡议网络(LHIN)，并与El Centro，Inc.和西班牙裔妇女抗癌联盟等当地组织共同发起了一系列由CBPR推动的项目。

Section N3: Community Outreach Core The goal of the community outreach program is to increase knowledge of, access to, and use of beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures to address cancer-related health disparities among Al and Latino communities. The specific aims that will be used to attain this goal are grounded in the principles of Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) which can be defined as "a partnership approach to research that equitably involves...communWy members, organizational representatives, and researchers in a//aspecte of the research process and in which all partners contribute expertise and share decision making and ownership"{emphasis added).(22) Key concepts that differentiate it from other types of research are the partnership between the academic institution and the community, the equitable distribution of all aspects of the research process (and monetary compensation), and the shared decision making and ownership of data. CBPR has been used to successfully address a variety of health outcomes in ethnic minorities, with the overall goal of reducing health disparities.(22) In Al communities, successful programs include youth tobacco cessation, understanding tobacco use patterns, cancer prevention and control, elder abuse, youth wellness, genetic issues, environmental exposures, and mental health issues(23-32) CBPR also has been used in Al communities for such topics as obesity,(33,34) diabetes, (35,36) and cancer.(37,38) CBPR has been successfully used in Latino communities for cancer research, training, and awareness,(39) breast health promotion.(40) HIV prevention programs, (41) and diabetes control and reduction.(42) It has been described as a valuable capacity building approach for Latino communities. (43) CBPR methods have been used by all of the key personnel involved in this proposal. In 2004. Dr. Greiner began a longitudinal CBPR project to provide nutritional information to Latino women served at the Wyandotte County Women Infants and Children (WIC) clinic in Kansas City. Kansas. This program serves the poorest county in the state and Dr. Greiner's bilingual program has educated over 3000 women in five years, In 2003, Dr. Choi developed a CBPR smoking cessation program for the Al community. In 2004, Dr. Daley joined him and together they have established AIHREA and a research team with a strong and active Community Advisory Board (CAB) that meets quarteriy and provides input on all their studies. In 2002, Dr. Kimminau, worked directly with the southwest Kansas Latino community and the northeast Kansas Al community to employ a CBPR driven needs assessment resulting in the first ever state report on minority health and health disparities, (see appendix) In 2006. Dr. Cupertino worked with community partners to develop the Latino Health Initiatives Network (LHIN) and launched a series of CBPR driven projects with local organizations such as El Centro, Inc. and the Coalition of Hispanic Women Against Cancer.
