IMI HALE NATIVE HAWAIIAN CANCER NETWORK

尽管夏威夷的癌症总死亡率是全国最低的，但 与其他种族相比，夏威夷原住民的癌症死亡率最高 国土安全部。在全国范围内，只有黑人男性和阿拉斯加原住民女性的癌症死亡率较高。 该项目的总体目标是通过以下方式降低夏威夷原住民的癌症发病率和死亡率 维护和扩大“IMI Hale--夏威夷原住民癌症网络”，这是一个基础设施，可：1)促进 夏威夷原住民社区对癌症的认识；2)提供研究、教育和培训，以 增加夏威夷土著研究人员的癌症预防和控制研究；以及3)促进 应用循证信息通过政策制定减少癌症健康差距 和实施，并将数据转化为癌症预防和控制实践。目标是 人口将是居住在夏威夷州的夏威夷土著居民。 ‘IMI Hale-夏威夷原住民癌症意识研究和培训网络将与 社区、州和国家层面的主要合作伙伴，以提供以下方面的支持系统和专业知识 追求五个目标，即：1)提供核心组织基础设施；2)提高 减少差距的有益干预措施；3)增加社区中夏威夷原住民的数量-- 通过招募、培训和指导来减少癌症健康差距的基础研究；4)开发 并增加癌症差异研究，重点关注必要的研究问题 减少癌症健康差距，强调可供夏威夷原住民使用的干预措施 社区；5)为减少癌症健康差距提供循证信息，以供决策和 社区、地方、州和联邦各级的政策制定者。 作为这些计划的结果，我们预计癌症发病率和死亡率在 夏威夷原住民在接下来的十年里。

Despite the fact that the state of Hawai'i has the lowest overall cancer mortality rates in the nation, when compared with other ethnic groups, Native Hawaiians have the highest cancer mortality rates in their own homeland. Nationally only Black males and Alaska Native females have higher cancer mortality rates. The overall goal of this project is to reduce cancer incidence and mortality among Native Hawaiians by maintaining and expanding "Imi Hale - Native Hawaiian Cancer Network, an infrastructure that: 1)promotes cancer awareness within Native Hawaiian communities; 2) provides research education and training to increase cancer prevention and control research by Native Hawaiian researchers; and 3) facilitates application of evidence-based information for reducing cancer health disparities through policy development and implementation, and translation of data into cancer prevention and control practice. The target population will be Native Hawaiians who reside in the state of Hawaii. 'Imi Hale - Native Hawaiian Cancer Awareness Research and Training Network will work collaboratively with key partners at the community, state, and national levels to provide the support systems and expertise in pursuit of five goals, which are to: 1) Provide the core organizational infrastructure; 2) Increase utilization of beneficial interventions to reduce disparities; 3) Increase the number of Native Hawaiians in community- based research to reduce cancer health disparities through recruitment, training, and mentorship; 4)Develop and increase cancer disparities research that focuses on the spectrum of research issues necessary to reduce cancer health disparities, with emphasis on interventions that can be used in and by Native Hawaiian communities; 5) Provide evidence-based information for reducing cancer health disparities to decision and policy makers at the community, local, state, and federal levels. As a result of these programs we anticipate a downward trend in cancer incidence and mortality among Native Hawaiians over the next decade.
