DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Prevention Research Center, a Division of the Department of Pediatrics at Wayne State University (WSU), is a multidsicplinary group of faculty with a focus on behavioral interventions to reduce pediatric health disparities nationally and internationally. These efforts have included a focus on NHLBI diseases such as obesity and asthma in African American youth. Asthma exerts a high toll on minority children living in inner-city communities, especially adolescents. African-American adolescents not only have higher rates of asthma, but also experience more emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and fatalities from asthma than Caucasian adolescents. One factor that can account for mortality/morbidity in pediatric asthma is poor asthma management. Recently, several faculty have utilized technology to develop behavioral interventions to improve illness management for youth with HIV and diabetes. This RFA will allow Dr. Karen Kolmodin to transition to independent faculty status by September 1 with a focus on expanding technology based behavioral interventions to youth with asthma. This RFA fills a critical need to train the next generation of pediatric health disparity researchers. WSU is in a unique position to fill this need as we are located in Detroit, a city with the highest percentage of African Americans of major U.S. city (Census, 2000). The proposal has the potential to pave the way for continued hiring of workers in new technology based areas that are diversified from the beleaguered automotive industry as pilot projects give way to larger extramurally funded proposals. This proposal will create a synergy between a researcher transitioning to independent tenure-track faculty status and a division focused on reducing pediatric health disparities ("CORE CENTER") to move the health disparities field fonward in the area of technology-based behavioral interventions to improve asthma management among minority adolescents and young adults.

描述（由申请人提供）：小儿预防研究中心是韦恩州立大学（WSU）儿科系的一个部门，是一个多学院的教师小组，着重于行为干预措施，以减少国家和国际化的儿科健康差异。这些努力包括关注非裔美国人青年中肥胖和哮喘等NHLBI疾病。哮喘对生活在城市内部社区，尤其是青少年的少数民族儿童造成了巨大的损失。非裔美国人的青少年不仅具有较高的哮喘患病率，而且还经历了哮喘的急诊就诊，住院和死亡，而不是高加索青少年。可以说明儿科哮喘死亡率/发病率的一个因素是哮喘管理差。最近，一些教师利用技术来开发行为干预措施，以改善艾滋病毒和糖尿病青年的疾病管理。该RFA将使Karen Kolmodin博士在9月1日之前过渡到独立教师身份，重点是扩大基于技术的行为干预措施对哮喘的青年。该RFA满足了培训下一代儿科健康差异研究人员的迫切需要。 WSU处于独特的位置，可以满足这一需求，因为我们位于底特律，这是一个美国主要城市非裔美国人比例最高的城市（人口普查，2000年）。该提案有可能为继续雇用新技术领域的工人铺平道路，这些工人从陷入困境的汽车行业中多元化，因为飞行员项目使更大的外在资助的提案所取代。该提案将在研究人员过渡到独立终身教师身份与旨在减少小儿健康差异（“核心中心”）的部门之间产生协同作用，以在基于技术的行为干预措施领域转移健康差异领域，以改善少数民族青少年和年轻人的哮喘管理。 该提案将在研究人员过渡到独立终身教师身份的研究人员与致力于减少小儿健康差异（“核心中心”）的部门之间产生协同作用，以在基于技术的行为干预措施中转移健康差异领域的健康差异FON/VARD，以改善少数民族青少年和年轻成人的哮喘管理。
