COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT (COE): PROJECT SUMMARY The Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center (WFBCCC) serves a 58-county region in western North Carolina, southwestern Virginia, and southern West Virginia. This catchment area is largely rural and has significant racial, ethnic, and geographic cancer disparities, driven largely by elevated cancer risk factors (obesity, tobacco use) and limited access to health care and other socia l determinants of health in the region. The overall goal of Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) at WFBCCC is to inform research, develop education programs, and implement cancer control strategies to address the cancer burden within the WFBCCC catchment area, with a particular focus on cancers that disproportionately impact the region. The COE seeks to achieve the following Specific Aims: (1) define, describe, and disseminate information on the cancer burden, risk factors, and disparities in the catchment area to guide WFBCCC research and community-informed interventions; (2) implement evidence-based cancer control interventions, facilitated through community collaborations and designed to impact the burden of cancer in the catchment area; (3) facilitate and support community-engaged research and diverse and inclusive clinical trial participation within the Cancer Center, region, and beyond; and (4) promote policy and advocacy directed at reducing the cancer burden and disparities and advancing cancer health equity. COE activities are facilitated through the Office of Cancer Health Equity (OCHE), led by Ronny Bell, PhD, MS, (Director) and assisted by Kathryn Weaver, PhD, MPH, (Assistant Director, Research Integration), and Carla Strom, MLA (Assistant Director, Operations). The COE staff reflects the diversity of the catchment area and includes Population Health Navigators, Community Educators, and Research Facilitators. Bell receives guidance and input from the Community Advisory Board, which ensures integration of community engagement into the clinical, research, and educational activities of the WFBCCC. The COE uses the COE Internal Steering Committee to coordinate research and training activities across WFBCCC Programs. The COE has been very successful in increasing participation of underserved populations in cancer clinical trials. For example, the year prior to the start of the Underserved Patient Navigation Program, 20% of Hispanic patients participated in interventional studies. Among navigated patients, the participation rate increased from 14% to 34%. To ensure that COE achieves its mission, COE effectiveness will be assessed through monitoring: (1) research addressing catchment needs and disparities; (2) minority participation in research; (3) awareness and knowledge of cancer prevention and control strategies; and, (4) access to culturally appropriate cancer-related care. Future directions for the COE will focus on expanding data collection activities through enhanced analytic tools; developing collaborations outside North Carolina; forming collaborative relationships through the new strategic alliance between Wake Forest Baptist Health and Atrium Health ; and working toward local, state, and national policies focused on eliminating cancer disparities.

社区外展与参与（COE）：项目摘要 Wake Forest Baptist综合癌症中心（WFBCCC）为北部西部的58县地区服务 卡罗来纳州，西南弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州南部。这个集水区主要是农村 巨大的种族，种族和地理癌症差异主要是由癌症危险因素升高驱动的 （肥胖症，烟草使用），该地区健康保健和其他社会决定因素有限。 WFBCCC社区推广与参与（COE）的总体目标是为研究提供信息，开发 教育计划，并实施癌症控制策略，以解决WFBCCC内的癌症负担 集水区，特别关注对该地区影响不成比例的癌症。 COE试图 实现以下特定目的：（1）定义，描述和传播有关癌症负担的信息 因素和集水区的差异，以指导WFBCCC研究和社区信息 干预措施； （2）通过社区促进的基于证据的癌症控制干预措施 合作，旨在影响集水区的癌症负担； （3）促进和支持 社区参与的研究以及癌症中心内的多元化和包容性临床试验参与 地区及以后； （4）促进旨在减轻癌症负担和差异的政策和倡导 并促进癌症健康公平。 COE活动通过癌症健康公平办公室促进 （Oche），由Ronny Bell，博士，MS（导演）领导，并由Kathryn Weaver，PhD，MPH的协助（助理） 研究整合主任）和MLA的Carla Strom（运营助理主任）。 COE工作人员反映 集水区的多样性，包括人口健康导航员，社区教育者和 研究促进者。贝尔收到社区顾问委员会的指导和意见，以确保 将社区参与到WFBCCC的临床，研究和教育活动中。这 COE使用COE内部指导委员会协调WFBCCC的研究和培训活动 程序。 COE在增加服务不足人群参与癌症方面非常成功 临床试验。例如，在服务不足的患者导航计划开始之前的一年，有20％ 西班牙裔患者参加了介入研究。在导航的患者中，参与率 从14％增加到34％。为了确保COE实现其使命，将评估COE的效率 通过监视：（1）解决集水区需求和差异的研究； （2）少数群体参与 研究; （3）对预防癌症和控制策略的认识和知识； （4）在文化上进入 适当的与癌症相关的护理。 COE的未来方向将专注于扩展数据收集活动 通过增强的分析工具；在北卡罗来纳州以外开发合作；成立协作 通过韦克森林浸信会健康与心房健康之间的新战略联盟的关系；和 致力于地方，州和国家政策，重点是消除癌症差异。
