DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The African-American Health Improvement Partnership is a Community-Based Participatory Research Project that will test the effectiveness of an integrated educational, behavioral, and psychosocial intervention to achieve a 10% reduction in mean HbA1c scores among 300 economically diverse African Americans, ages 18 and older, who have physician-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The intervention aims to bring about this reduction primarily by effecting improvements in three hypothesized causal pathways: (a) access to medical supplies and treatment and receipt of quality medical care, (b) diabetes-specific social support from peers and community health educators, and (c) professional and peer support to move towards a healthy body weight. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will be the primary analytic tool to evaluate the degree to which desired changes in HbA1c correspond to desired changes in variables compromising these three pathways. Findings will be translated into best practices through collaboration with community partners and widely disseminated to both the research and practice communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：非裔美国人健康改善合作伙伴关系是一个基于社区的参与性研究项目，将测试综合的教育，行为和心理社会干预措施的有效性，以在300名经济多样化的非裔美国人中，平均HBA1C得分降低10％，18岁的非裔美国人，年龄较大，年龄较大的年龄较大，他们患有医生居住的人，他们患有2型诊断2型诊断。该干预措施旨在主要通过在三种假设的因果途径的改善中改善这种减少：（a）获得医疗用品和治疗以及接受优质医疗服务的机会，（b）同伴和社区健康教育者的特定糖尿病社会支持，以及（c）专业和同伴支持健康体重的糖尿病。结构方程建模（SEM）将是评估HBA1C中所需变化的程度的主要分析工具，对应于损害这三个途径的变量所需的变化。通过与社区合作伙伴的合作，发现结果将转化为最佳实践，并广泛传播到研究和实践社区。
