Abstract Cancer is the second leading cause of death among men and women in Texas with incidence and mortality rates of 147.4 and 158.8 per 100,000, respectively. African Americans and Hispanics have significantly higher rates of some cancers and experience cancer-related health disparities. In Texas, a highly diverse state, screening and prevention behaviors remain below national recommendations for African American and Hispanics living in both rural and urban settings. Notably, Texas ranks 48th in colorectal cancer screening nationwide and 47th for HPV vaccination. Our long-term goal is to decrease cancer-related morbidity and mortality and health disparities among African Americans and Hispanics in urban and rural settings in Texas. The proposed University of Texas Prevention Research Center's (UTPRC) theme is, “Accelerating Cancer Control to Decrease Health Disparities.” The mission of the UTPRC is to increase the use of evidence-based cancer control interventions, policies, and guidelines in communities and healthcare settings through a collaboration of academic, public health, and community partnerships engaged in practice-based, community-engaged prevention research, research translation, and education. The proposed UTPRC includes cores that will advance training, research translation, and community engagement, and ensure rapid and effective communication of UTPRC research results and products. We will create a network of community partners across Texas called PACE (Partners Accelerating Cancer Control Evidence) to target cancer control in urban and rural minority communities. We will use UT School of Public Health Regional infrastructure in six areas around Texas to ensure access to vulnerable populations and accelerate scale up and spread of effective programs. We also propose an innovative core research project testing new implementation strategies that link communities and healthcare settings to increase cancer control and reduce cancer-related health disparities. The UTPRC will advance the field of prevention research and implementation science by: training public health professionals and community partners, engaging community partners in pragmatic prevention and implementation research, evaluating the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of implementation strategies on increased use of evidence-based cancer control interventions, and disseminating effective interventions across Texas and the U.S. We will continue to collaborate with other PRCs through our long-standing participation in thematic networks. Ultimately, the proposed PRC will advance the field of implementation and prevention science to reduce cancer burden and health disparities among vulnerable populations in Texas.

抽象的 从发病率和死亡率来看，癌症是德克萨斯州男性和女性的第二大死亡原因 非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的发病率分别为每 10 万人 147.4 人和 158.8 人。 在德克萨斯州，这是一个高度多样化的州，筛查和治疗存在着与癌症相关的健康差异。 预防行为​​仍然低于对居住在美国的非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的国家建议 值得注意的是，德克萨斯州的结直肠癌筛查在全国排名第 48，在结直肠癌筛查中排名第 47。 我们的长期目标是减少癌症相关的发病率和死亡率以及健康差异。 德克萨斯州城乡的非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人。 德克萨斯大学预防研究中心 (UTPRC) 拟议的主题是“加速癌症 UTPRC 的使命是增加基于证据的使用。 通过社区和医疗机构的癌症控制干预措施、政策和指南 学术、公共卫生和社区伙伴关系参与基于实践的合作， 社区参与的预防研究、研究成果转化和教育。 包括将推进培训、研究翻译和社区参与的核心，并确保快速 我们将创建一个社区网络，并有效传播 UTPRC 研究成果和产品。 德克萨斯州各地的合作伙伴称为 PACE（合作伙伴加速癌症控制证据），旨在以癌症控制为目标 我们将利用德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院的六个区域基础设施。 德克萨斯州周边地区，确保弱势群体能够获得服务并加速扩大和传播有效性 我们还提出了一个创新的核心研究项目，测试连接的新实施策略。 社区和医疗机构加强癌症控制并减少与癌症相关的健康差距。 UTPRC 将通过以下方式推进预防研究和科学实施领域： 培训公众 卫生专业人员和社区合作伙伴，让社区合作伙伴参与务实的预防和 实施研究，评估实施策略的有效性和成本效益 更多地使用基于证据的癌症控制干预措施，并在各个领域传播有效的干预措施 德克萨斯州和美国 我们将通过长期参与，继续与其他中华人民共和国合作 最终，拟议的中华人民共和国将推动实施和预防领域的发展。 科学减少德克萨斯州弱势群体的癌症负担和健康差距。
