DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Maryland Prevention Research Center (UMD-PRC) focuses on reducing health disparities in Maryland. The national capital border population in Prince George's County (PGC), Maryland within the "National Capital Beltway" is specifically targeted for community health improvement. This area is predominantly medically underserved and minority. Furthermore, this area suffers from remarkably high rates of primary Syphilis, HIV, stroke, diabetes, low birth weight, and other health problems. Populations in this underserved area work, socialize, and access health care and education in bordering Montgomery County (MC), Maryland and the District of Columbia (DC). The contrasts and similarities between the border population in PGC and the border population of MC and DC are pronounced in regard to demographics, health services, and health status. The UMD School of Public Health (SPH) happens to be located in Prince George's County at the nexus of these comparisons. Although the SPH has partnered with the City of Seat Pleasant in the underserved area of PGC since 1999, it needs UMD-PRC resources to fully address the glaring need for an infrastructure to link needs with resources in this region. The UMD-PRC infrastructure will build on the triumvirate among the City of Seat Pleasant, the SPH, and the Prince George's County Health Department and further engage with organizations within and across the many area borders. It will cross borders to address issues that exacerbate disenfranchisement. The resulting cross-border collaborative will provide new capacity for the region to address shared health problems. A pilot project on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) exhibits the community-based-participatory-research approach and focuses the UMD-PRC on a health problem disproporationately affecting minorities, and requiring social and systems-level solutions. The pilot examines how to enhance the Prince George's County Health Department HIV/STI prevention programs related to its Partner Services. Through enhanced engagement with HIV/STI clients, tradional borders (barriers) will be crossed to deliver educational outreach to individuals at risk, address risk inducing venues, and link areas of need with resources. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The Category 2 University of Maryland Prevention Research Center (UMD-PRC) creates infrastructure and systems to address the high morbidity rates in underserved areas. The pilot project exhibits community- based-participatory-research to enhance infrastrucure and systems regarding HIV and other sexually transmitted infection (HIV/STI) Partner Services.

描述（由申请人提供）：马里兰州预防研究中心（UMD-PRC）的重点是减少马里兰州的健康差异。马里兰州乔治王子县（PGC）的国家资本边界人口专门针对社区健康。该地区主要是医疗服务不足和少数群体。此外，该地区的原发性梅毒，艾滋病毒，中风，糖尿病，低出生体重和其他健康问题的速度非常高。在这项服务不足的地区工作，社交并获得与蒙哥马利县（MC），马里兰州和哥伦比亚特区（DC）接壤的医疗保健和教育。 PGC边境人口与MC和DC边境人口之间的对比和相似性在人口统计学，卫生服务和健康状况方面发音。 UMD公共卫生学院（SPH）恰好位于乔治王子县的这些比较中。尽管自1999年以来，SPH与PGC服务不足的地区的座位宜人市合作，但它需要UMD-PRC资源来充分满足基础设施的巨大需求，以将其与该地区的资源联系起来。 UMD-PRC基础设施将建立在Seat Pleasant，SPH和乔治王子县卫生部门之间的Triumvirate上，并进一步与许多地区边界内部和整个地区的组织进行互动。它将跨越边界，以解决加剧剥夺公民权的问题。由此产生的跨境协作将为该地区解决共同健康问题提供新的能力。关于艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染（STI）的试点项目展示了基于社区的参与性研究方法，并将UMD-PRC重点放在健康问题上，对少数群体产生了不合理的影响，并需要社会和系统级别的解决方案。飞行员研究了如何增强乔治王子县卫生局HIV/STI预防计划与其合作伙伴服务有关。通过加强与艾滋病毒/STI客户的参与，将跨越贸易边界（障碍），以向有风险的个人提供教育宣传，解决诱发场地的风险以及与资源的需求领域联系。相关性（请参阅说明）：2类预防研究中心（UMD-PRC）创建基础设施和系统，以解决服务不足的地区的高发病率。该试点项目展出了基于社区的参与性研究，以增强有关艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染（HIV/STI）合作伙伴服务的基础和系统。
