项目摘要

ABSTRACT One of the major functions of the COE is to build capacity for academic health centers and community-based organizations to collaborate in research, program delivery, evaluation and dissemination. To accomplish these functions, we rely on active Community Advisory Councils composed of key stakeholders representing the community agencies in the LCCC catchment area. The leading cancers in our catchment area are breast, prostate, colorectal, lung, pancreas, and liver and bile duct cancers. Behavioral and systemic risk factors linked to these cancers include obesity, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and limited access to cancer screening. Other issues include high prevalence of comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome, exposure to potentially carcinogenic environmental hazards, underutilization of genetic risk assessment and HPV vaccination, and health issues related to cancer survivorship. The disproportionate impact of these cancers and their risk factors on underserved minority populations, primarily Non-Latino Blacks (NLB) and Latinos (H/L), make cancer health disparities a major issue in our catchment area. COE leaders partner with basic/translational and clinical researchers to overcome barriers to access to cutting-edge clinical trial research that benefits all patients in the LCCC catchment areas. The specific aims of community outreach and engagement (COE) are: Aim 1: Identify and assess the cancer burden and risk factors within the LCCC Consortium catchment area. Aim 2: Foster research that addresses the cancer burden in the LCCC Consortium catchment area with special emphasis on community-based research on vulnerable and underserved populations. Aim 3: Enhance and strengthen community-based partnerships and programs to deliver evidence-based cancer education and resources with impact within and beyond the LCCC Consortium catchment area.

抽象的 COE 的主要职能之一是建设学术健康中心和社区的能力组织在研究、计划交付、评估和传播方面进行合作。为了完成这些职能方面，我们依靠活跃的社区咨询委员会，该委员会由代表社区的主要利益相关者组成 LCCC 流域内的社区机构。我们学区的主要癌症是乳腺癌、前列腺癌、结直肠癌、肺癌、胰腺癌、肝癌和胆管癌。行为和系统性风险因素相关导致这些癌症的因素包括肥胖、缺乏身体活动、吸烟以及癌症筛查机会有限。其他问题包括合并症的高患病率，例如代谢综合征、接触潜在的致癌环境危害、遗传风险评估和 HPV 疫苗接种未充分利用，以及与癌症生存相关的健康问题。这些癌症及其危险因素的影响不成比例服务不足的少数群体，主要是非拉丁裔黑人 (NLB) 和拉丁裔 (H/L)，使癌症健康差异是我们流域地区的一个主要问题。 COE 领导者与基础/转化和临床合作研究人员克服获得尖端临床试验研究的障碍，使所有患者受益 LCCC 集水区。社区外展和参与 (COE) 的具体目标是：目标 1：确定并评估 LCCC 联盟服务区内的癌症负担和风险因素。目标 2：促进研究解决 LCCC 联盟流域内的癌症负担特别强调针对弱势群体和服务不足群体的社区研究。目标 3：加强和加强基于社区的伙伴关系和计划，以提供基于证据的在 LCCC 联盟服务范围内外具有影响力的癌症教育和资源。
