The U.S.A-Caribbean Alliance for Health Disparities Research (USACAHDR)

美国的政府和非政府组织正在建立创新的公共/私人 伙伴关系，以改善全球健康差距减少研究。苏利文联盟，以改变 卫生局（SA）正在采取行动，与西印度群岛大学（UWl）建立合作关系。 合作关系。美国-加勒比健康差异研究联盟 （USCAHDR）将进行流行病学研究，探讨健康的决定因素：历史祖先， 非洲人的健康习惯、生活方式和健康差距各不相同，但也有相似之处。 美国和加勒比地区的人口。为实现这一目标，确定了三个具体目标： (1)建立由南澳大利亚州、西弗吉尼亚大学、加勒比健康研究理事会组成的协同伙伴关系， 国家健康博物馆开展关于社会决定因素在决定健康方面的作用的研究 加勒比和美国人口的健康状况和结果;（2）加强专业 发展美国-加勒比研究人员/科学家;（3）建立全球健康差距电子博物馆 为西印度大学的宽带电子平台增加内容价值，用于传播USCAHDR研究， 美国和加勒比海地区的教育材料。该计划将促进对 美国和加勒比地区持续存在的健康差距，建立一个多学科专家团队 对减少健康差距的研究感兴趣，并创造文化上胜任的教育推广 为美国和加勒比海地区提供通信工具。

Governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the US are building innovative public/private partnerships to improve global health disparities reduction research. The Sullivan Alliance to Transform the Health Professions (SA) is taking action to build collaboration with the University of the West Indies (UWl). The partnership. The United States of America (US)-Caribbean Alliance for Health Disparities Research (USCAHDR), will implement epidemiological research to explore how determinants of health: historyancestry, health practices, and life styles and health disparities differ and are similar among African populations in the US and the Caribbean. Three specific aims have been identified to accomplish this goal: (1) build a synergistic partnership comprised of the SA, UWl, the Caribbean Heath Research Council, and the National Health Museum to conduct research on the role of social determinants in determining health status and health outcomes among Caribbean and US populations; (2) enhance the professional development of US-Caribbean researchers/scientists; and (3) establish a global health disparities E-Museum that adds content-value to UWI's broadband e-platforms for disseminating USCAHDR research and educational materials in the US and the Caribbean. The program will advance fundamental understanding of persistent health disparities in the US and the Caribbean, develop a multidisciplinary team of experts interested in health disparities reduction research, and create culturally competent educational outreach communication tools for the US and the Caribbean.
