TASK AREA B DEMONSTRATION PROJECT FOR THE JACKSON HEART STUDY (JHS) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CENTER (CEC).

JHS将在这个队列中继续进行关于心血管(CV)和相关疾病的新的流行病学研究，作为科学界未来研究的资源，促进杰克逊地区的心血管健康，并鼓励未被充分代表的少数族裔学生从事生物医学事业。此次收购的目的是提供一个社区参与中心，以支持在杰克逊社区和其他社区促进心血管健康的活动。其目标是(1)提供战略和基础设施，以便提供及时、循证的一般健康信息，特别是减少心脏病风险的信息，特别是来自JHS和其他相关心血管疾病研究的结果；(2)在整个JHS领域开展循证健康教育方案，以解决非裔美国人的心脏病风险因素减少问题；(3)建立战略伙伴关系，扩大JHS的覆盖范围；(4)开展社区试点研究或示范项目，以减少心血管疾病风险，如果成功，可以推广到更大的努力；和(5)公布CEC的工作成果和影响。

The JHS will continue novel epidemiologic research on cardiovascular (CV) and related diseases in this cohort, serve as a resource to the scientific community for future research, promote cardiovascular health in the Jackson area, and encourage underrepresented minority students to pursue biomedical careers. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide a Community Engagement Center to support activities to promote cardiovascular health in the Jackson community and beyond. The objectives are to (1) provide a strategy and infrastructure for delivering timely, evidence-based health information in general and heart disease risk reduction information in particular, especially findings from JHS and other related CVD research; (2) conduct evidence-based health education programming throughout the JHS area that serves to address heart disease risk factor reduction in African Americans; (3) establish strategic partnerships that broaden the reach of the JHS; (4) perform community-based pilot research studies or demonstration projects for CVD risk reduction that, if successful, can be scalable to larger efforts; and (5) publish results and impact of CEC’s work.
