Community Outreach and Engagement

社区外展和参与项目摘要 马约诊所癌症中心（MCCC）完全致力于解决癌症相关的决定因素， 通过其在基础、转化和人口科学癌症研究方面的领导地位取得成果。关于MCCC 已将其3个研究中心的集水区（CA）重新定义为马约诊所进行体检的县 存在（诊所/医院），加上这些站点所服务的地理上相邻的县。社区 外展和参与（COE）工作由癌症副主任Carmen Radecki Breitkopf博士领导 差异和社区外展。特遣队所属装备的具体目标包括：（1）通过持续的 社区外展和参与工作，以优先考虑我们的集水区的倡议和研究。我们 监测每个集水区的癌症负担、需求、机遇和挑战;评估 MCCC和机构在外展和癌症差异基础设施方面的投资;以及 与我们基于社区的附属机构建立有意义的伙伴关系，并让我们的社区咨询委员会参与进来， 帮助确定优先事项。(2)实施和促进循证计划和研究，以减少癌症 在我们的集水区（CA）的负担。我们通过MCCC确定COE启发的癌症研究机会 调查人员，特别是在需要数据来支持有影响力的变革和实施的情况下， 鼓励;加强沟通策略，提高MCCC调查人员对CA的认识 （信息传递、MCCC通讯、研讨会）;促进使用COE研究专业知识和基础设施 资源（社区外展工作者、研究协调员、伙伴关系机会），以增加 参与研究;并促进癌症研究战略，解决研究中的障碍和差距， 我们的农村人口。(3)评估MCCC的影响并监测研究和专业知识需求 在MCCC CA和超越。我们在州癌症计划中发挥领导作用并参与其中， 促进学术和社区合作，以实现政策变革;并促进MCCC与 美国各地的印第安部落。 通过COE，MCCC致力于降低其集水区的癌症发病率和死亡率。我们 在癌症风险评估、预防、筛查、治疗和生存方面的研究， 满足社区需求。通过我们的研究和参与我们的集水区，我们有一个影响 在各个层面，从个人到提供者再到政策。

COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT PROJECT SUMMARY The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center (MCCC) is fully committed to addressing cancer-related determinants and outcomes through its leadership in basic, translational, and population sciences cancer research. The MCCC has re-defined its catchment areas (CAs) at its 3 sites as the counties where Mayo Clinic has a physical presence (clinic/hospital), plus the geographically contiguous counties that these sites serve. The Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) effort is led by Dr. Carmen Radecki Breitkopf, Associate Director for Cancer Disparities and Community Outreach. COE Specific Aims include: (1) Assess needs through ongoing community outreach and engagement efforts to prioritize initiatives and research in our catchment areas. We monitor the cancer burden, needs, opportunities, and challenges in each catchment area; assess the impact of the MCCC's and institutional investment in outreach and cancer disparities infrastructure; and extend meaningful partnerships with our community-based affiliations and engage our Community Advisory Boards to help set priorities. (2) Implement and facilitate evidence-based programs and research to reduce cancer burden in our catchment areas (CAs). We identify COE-inspired opportunities for cancer research by MCCC investigators, especially where needs for data to support impactful change and implementation can be encouraged; enhance communications strategies to increase awareness of CAs among MCCC investigators (messaging, MCCC newsletters, seminars); promote use of COE research expertise and infrastructure resources (community outreach workers, study coordinators, partnership opportunities) to increase diversity of participants in research; and promote cancer research strategies that address barriers and disparities in the rural populations of our CAs. (3) Evaluate the impact of MCCC and monitor needs for research and expertise in the MCCC CAs and beyond. We contribute leadership and participation in our state cancer plans and facilitate academic and community collaborations to effect policy change; and foster MCCC relationships with Native American tribes across the US. Through COE, MCCC is committed to decreasing cancer incidence and mortality in its catchment areas. Our research in cancer risk assessment, prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship enhances activities that address community needs. Through our research and engagement in our catchment areas we have an impact at all levels, from the individual to providers to policy.
