Sexual and Gender Minority Cancer Curricular Advances for Research and Education (SGM Cancer CARE)

摘要 需要一支经过培训的卫生工作人员，以便进行包括性和性别少数(SGM)在内的癌症研究 为满足寻求全面癌症护理的SGM患者的需求，包括预防、筛查、 治疗和生存护理。关于SGM癌症护理的研究描述了许多SGM癌症差异， 越来越多的对SGM个体的研究证明，暴露在癌症风险中的风险增加 因素和某些癌症，以及较差的癌症结果。然而，SGM患者非常多样化， 呈现独特而多样的护理需求。尽管研究机构关注的是SGM团体 继续增长，在特定的SGM癌症风险因素和癌症治疗方面的知识差距仍然存在 在肿瘤护理中制定循证临床实践指南的关键经验 癌症护理的连续不断--从预防到生存。因为常规上没有全国可用的资源 为SGM癌症研究培训和准备肿瘤学和生物医学劳动力，我们的短期目标是 为早期职业研究人员设计一个最新的、基于能力的1.5天研讨会：标题为SGM 癌症护理(性和性别：少数族裔癌症：研究和教育课程进展)。 根据我们的需求评估，课程将由多学科和多学科的 机构领导团队和咨询委员会，具有国家视角和在SGM方面的经验 人口，以及在多个关键领域的深入知识和专业知识，包括癌症研究、临床 护理、课程开发和卫生保健宣传。本项目有以下具体目标：1) 细化课程主题和学习目标；2)设计课程单元和教材；以及 3)对课程进行试点测试和评估。它将为患有MD的健康和研究专业人员创建， DO、博士或博士学位，目标是个人在形成他们的研究议程和 对SGM癌症问题感兴趣。它将在为期1.5天的研讨会上通过五个模块进行介绍：1)临床 癌症研究；2)行为科学和干预；3)流行病学和人口水平研究；4) 社区研究、弱势群体和负责任的研究行为，以及5)机会和 跨模块的挑战(即研究战略、资助机会、指导和协作)。这个 将试办研讨会，作为年度LGBT卫生人力会议的会前机会 由BNGAP组织赞助。研讨会将为学员提供知识和技能，以 进行高质量和符合文化的研究，以改善整个癌症护理过程中的SGM护理， 并将促进参与者访问国家研究社区和医疗保健提供者网络 致力于SGM癌症研究的共同目标。从长远来看，由此产生的课程可以扩展和 适应融入现有课程，刺激对更多专业人员的培训和教育，以 加强SGM癌症研究，为脆弱的SGM人群创造健康公平。

ABSTRACT A health workforce trained to conduct Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM)-inclusive cancer research is needed to meet the needs of SGM persons seeking comprehensive cancer care, including prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship care. Research on SGM cancer care has described many SGM cancer disparities, and a growing number of studies of SGM individuals have documented increased exposure to cancer-risk factors and certain cancers, as well as poorer cancer outcomes. Yet SGM patients are extremely diverse, presenting with unique and varied care needs. Although the body of research focused on SGM groups continues to grow, gaps persist in the knowledge of specific SGM cancer risk factors and cancer treatment experiences that is critical for developing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in oncology care across the cancer care continuum – from prevention to survivorship. As no nationally available resource routinely trains and prepares the oncology and biomedical workforce for SGM cancer research, our short-term goal is to design an up-to-date, competency-based 1.5 day workshop for early career researchers: titled SGM Cancer CARE (Sexual and Gender Minority Cancer: Curricular Advances for Research and Education). Informed by our needs assessment, the curriculum will be designed by a multi-disciplinary and multi- institutional leadership team and advisory committee that has national perspective and experience with SGM populations, and in-depth knowledge and expertise in multiple key areas, including cancer research, clinical care, curriculum development, and health care advocacy. This project has the following specific aims: 1) Refine curriculum topics and learning objectives; 2) Design the curricular modules and materials; and 3) Pilot test and evaluate the curriculum. It will be created for health and research professionals with MD, DO, PhD, or DrPH degrees, targeting individuals in the process of shaping their research agendas and interested in SGM cancer issues. It will be presented in a 1.5 day workshop through five modules: 1) clinical cancer research; 2) behavioral science and interventions; 3) epidemiology and population-level research; 4) community research, vulnerable populations, and responsible conduct of research, and 5) opportunities and challenges across modules (i.e. research strategy, funding opportunities, mentorship, and collaborations). The workshop will be piloted as a pre-conference opportunity for the annual LGBT Health Workforce Conference sponsored by the BNGAP organization. The workshop will provide participants with knowledge and skills to conduct quality and culturally appropriate research to improve SGM care across the cancer care continuum, and will facilitate participant access to a national research community and health care provider network dedicated to shared goals in SGM cancer research. Long-term, the resulting curriculum can be expanded and adapted for integration into existing curricula, stimulating training and education of additional professionals to increase SGM cancer research in order to create health equity for vulnerable SGM populations.
