Diverse Screening Histories--Persons, Groups, Behaviors

描述(由申请人提供)：这份K05申请书概述了 旨在扩大癌症范围的一系列五年活动 我从90年代初开始进行的对照研究。S。我的研究 日期主要是关于乳房X光检查的利用这一主题，以及 已经通过干预研究和对调查数据的分析来完成 确定筛查的相关因素。此外，已经进行了这项研究 主要是高加索女性。根据K05指南的要求， 应用程序由三个部分组成：现有研究的继续， 新研究的发展，以及指导初级调查人员 从事癌症控制的职业。 新的研究活动跨越了理论上的仪器开发 构建验证、大数据集分析和干预 发展。这些活动围绕五个具体目标组织： (1.)继续调查变革阶段的适用性 在特殊人群中进行乳腺癌筛查的结构，并开始 结直肠癌筛查调查(包括针对有色人种)； (2)扩大癌症筛查干预材料的开发 有色人种；(三)要调查多个状态的相关性 筛查实践，以制定针对两个或两个以上的干预措施 干预中的行为；(4)调查是否有另一名吸烟者在 家庭，因为它可能会影响癌症筛查做法的表现； (5)为了调查个人筛查历史的多样性， 随着人群中采用癌症筛查程序而演变；以及 未被筛查为癌症的“口袋”或亚人群 筛查程序被更广泛地采用。 这些活动将通过与一个国家小组合作执行 与我建立了关系的调查人员，包括最初 参与项目开发和干预计划。被辅导的少年 调查人员将参与这些活动，因为他们制定了自己的 研究计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This K05 application outlines a five-year set of activities that are intended to expand the contexts of cancer control research that I have conducted since the early l990's. My research to date has been done primarily on the topic of utilization of mammography, and has been done through both intervention studies and analyses of survey data to identify correlates of screening. In addition, that research has been done with primarily Caucasian women. As required by the K05 guidelines, the application has three components: the continuation of existing research, the development of new research, and the mentoring junior investigators for careers in cancer control. The new research activities span instrument development for theoretical construct validation, analyses of large datasets, and intervention development. These activities are organized around five Specific Aims: (1.) To continue to investigate the applicability of stage-of-change constructs to breast cancer screening among special populations, and to begin investigation of colorectal cancer screening (including for persons of color); (2.) To expand the development of cancer screening intervention materials for persons of color; (3.) To investigate correlates of status on more than one screening practice, to develop interventions that address two or more behaviors in an intervention; (4.) To investigate having another smoker in the household, as it may influence the performance of cancer screening practices; (5.) To investigate both the diversity of personal screening histories that evolve as a cancer screening procedure is adopted in the population; and the "pockets" or sub-populations of persons who remain unscreened as a cancer screening procedure is more widely adopted. These activities will be implemented by working with a national group of investigators with whom I have established relationships, including initial work with item development and intervention planning. Mentored junior investigators will participate in these activities, as they develop their own programs of research.
