DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hispanics are among the fastest growing population in the United States (US). Data indicate that Hispanics are underserved and less likely to take advantage of cancer prevention activities than their non-Hispanic White counterparts. Major concerns related to such under use are low socioeconomic status, lack of insurance, cultural values and norms, treatment options, and knowledge and beliefs concerning cancer. Further, the Hispanic population as a whole has few mentors and researchers of Hispanic ethnicity to provide culturally appropriate role models for Hispanics to enter cancer research fields. The overall goal of this proposed five year project is to work with community partners to reduce the cancer health disparities experienced by many Hispanics in a rural area. We propose to build a Network, or infrastructure of community partners in the Yakima Valley. With the partners we will promote cancer awareness and education in the Valley, establish a system to recruit minority students to work on cancer prevention projects, develop pilot research projects to address specific cancer disparities in the Valley, develop community research projects to increase cancer education among Hispanics, evaluate the success of the research projects, evaluate the intermediate effects of reducing cancer disparities, and sustain the Network by applying for at least one full-scale trial. Each of the specific aims is targeted to occur in the three required phases of research. Phase 1, mobilizing the community, will occur in the first year of the project and will continue throughout the remaining years as new partners join the collaboration and new tasks are selected for intervention. We expect Phase 2, awareness and education activities, training activities, and pilot research projects to continue from years 02 through 05. The last phase, Phase 3 will occur in Year 05 as we attempt to obtain independent funding to continue the work in the Valley. An External Advisory Group will provide external feedback to the Network and Steering Committee of Network members will make decisions about the research, awareness, and education activities to be done. Our Appendices summarize our intervention plans, our research plans, and our pilot study

描述（由申请人提供）： 西班牙裔美国人是美国人口增长最快的群体之一。 数据表明，与非西班牙裔白人相比，西班牙裔人获得的服务不足，并且不太可能利用癌症预防活动。 与此类使用不足相关的主要问题是社会经济地位低、缺乏保险、文化价值观和规范、治疗选择以及有关癌症的知识和信仰。 此外，西班牙裔人口作为一个整体，很少有西班牙裔的导师和研究人员为西班牙裔进入癌症研究领域提供文化上合适的榜样。 这个拟议的五年项目的总体目标是与社区合作伙伴合作，减少农村地区许多西班牙裔人所经历的癌症健康差异。 我们建议在亚基马山谷建立一个社区合作伙伴网络或基础设施。 我们将与合作伙伴一起提高硅谷的癌症意识和教育，建立一个招募少数族裔学生参与癌症预防项目的系统，开发试点研究项目以解决硅谷特定的癌症差异，开发社区研究项目以增加对癌症的教育西班牙裔，评估研究项目的成功，评估减少癌症差异的中间效果，并通过申请至少一项全面试验来维持该网络。 每个具体目标都旨在实现三个必需的研究阶段。 第一阶段，动员社区，将在项目的第一年进行，并将在剩余的几年中持续进行，因为新的合作伙伴加入了合作，并选择了新的任务进行干预。 我们预计第二阶段、意识和教育活动、培训活动以及试点研究项目将从 02 年持续到 05 年。最后一个阶段，即第 3 阶段将在 05 年进行，因为我们试图获得独立资金来继续在硅谷的工作。 外部咨询小组将向网络提供外部反馈，网络成员指导委员会将就要进行的研究、意识和教育活动做出决定。 我们的附录总结了我们的干预计划、研究计划和试点研究
