New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research - Latino Network Core

拉丁裔糖尿病翻译研究网络--国家资源核心 拉美裔人口是美国最大的少数族裔群体，预计将继续 随着美国向“少数族裔占多数的国家”过渡，经济将会增长。拉丁裔显然背负着不成比例的负担 糖尿病，与非西班牙裔白人相比。然而，现有的糖尿病预防证据基础 而控制在这一人群中的适用性受到限制，因为他们在研究和研究中的代表性不足 干预措施不足以适应拉美裔人的特定社会文化和社会经济背景。这个 拟议的拉丁裔糖尿病翻译研究网络--一个国家资源核心，旨在填补这一空白 通过支持以覆盖范围、可持续性和普及潜力为重点的第二类翻译研究 在美国拉丁裔人群中实施糖尿病预防和控制干预措施。我们的建议 建立在多学科专家团队的资源和专业知识基础上，该团队参与了具有里程碑意义的西班牙裔 社区健康调查/拉丁裔研究(SOL)，有史以来最大的拉丁裔健康流行病学研究 是在美国进行的。利用全面和严格收集的有关以下因素的SOL数据 糖尿病风险和健康结果可以指导对拉丁裔的有效干预。我们建议的国家 Resources Core将通过支持有效性评估来促进糖尿病的II型转译研究 在三个相辅相成的服务领域采取文化上适当的预防和控制干预措施：1) 建立一个全国性的研究网络，以促进拉丁裔糖尿病的翻译研究。在基础上建设 纽约地区CDTR成员和SOL调查人员之间现有的协作关系，该网络 将分享正在进行的工作，确定就SOL辅助项目的研究提案进行合作的机会 研究和新的多地点第二类翻译试验。2)提供咨询并利用现有资源 支持开发第二类翻译研究和SOL队列，以及新征聘的样本 拉美裔美国人。在糖尿病行为干预试验、相关测量方面拥有专业知识的核心教员 方法、社区参与、文化适应和高级统计分析将提供 咨询核心用户，加速以拉丁裔为重点的糖尿病翻译研究。3)制定 国家心理、行为和社会文化评估工具资源库。这 可搜索并定期更新的数据库将存放在拉丁裔糖尿病网络的网站上 翻译研究并从我们的主要NY地区CDTR网站链接到。可下载的仪器将 已通过标准化翻译和相关的验证，适用于讲英语和西班牙语的拉丁裔 将提供心理测量数据。

Latino Network for Diabetes Translation Research – A National Resource Core The Latino population is the largest ethnic minority group in the United States and is projected to continue to grow, as America transitions to a “majority-minority nation.” Latinos clearly bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes, as compared to non-Hispanic whites. However, the existing evidence base for diabetes prevention and control is limited in its applicability this population due to their under-representation in research and insufficient tailoring of interventions to the particular sociocultural and socioeconomic context of Latinos. The proposed Latino Network for Diabetes Translation Research – a National Resource Core, aims to fill this gap by supporting type II translational research focused on reach, sustainability and potential for widespread implementation of diabetes prevention and control interventions in the US Latino population. Our proposal builds on the resources and expertise of a multidisciplinary team of experts involved in the landmark Hispanic Community Health Survey/Study of Latinos (SOL), the largest epidemiological study of Latino health ever undertaken in the US. Leveraging the comprehensive and rigorously collected SOL data on factors related to diabetes risk and health outcomes can guide effective interventions for Latinos. Our proposed National Resource Core will promote type II translational research in diabetes by supporting effectiveness evaluations of culturally appropriate prevention and control interventions across three complementary areas of service: 1) Develop a national research network to promote diabetes translational research in Latinos. Building on existing collaborative relationships between NY-Regional CDTR members and SOL investigators, this network will share works in progress, identify opportunities for collaboration on research proposals for SOL ancillary studies and new multi-site type II translation trials. 2) Provide consultation and leverage existing resources to support the development type II translational research with the SOL cohort, as well as newly recruited samples of Latinos. Core faculty with expertise in behavioral intervention trials for diabetes, relevant measurement methods, community engagement, cultural adaptation and advanced statistical analysis, will provide consultation to Core users to accelerate diabetes translational research focused on Latinos. 3) Develop a national resource bank for psychological, behavioral and socio-cultural assessment instruments. This searchable and regularly updated database will be housed on a website for the Latino Network for Diabetes Translation Research and linked to from our main NY Regional CDTR website. Downloadable instruments will have been validated for English- and Spanish-speaking Latinos with standardized translations and relevant psychometric data will be provided.
