DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The changing demographics of the U.S. population ~ in which recent immigrants are playing a key role in population growth ~ have and will continue to exert a major influence on the course of health disparities. Therefore, the very timely overall mission of the proposed GWU NIMHD P20 Exploratory Center is to build on an existing academic-community collaboration with the Latino immigrant population in the Washington, DC metropolitan area in order to better understand factors contributing to racial/ethnic minority health disparities specific to this critical population, to increase both community and academic capacity to address these factors, and to test a multi-level community intervention addressing the health disparity issue of substance abuse and co-occurring conditions. This collaboration will: 1) Contribute to the transdisciplinary advancement of the field with respect to eliminating health disparities as well as the health of the Latino community; 2) Develop, implement and evaluate an innovative, community-driven, multi-component community intervention (called ADELANTE) that addresses a vulnerability cluster of substance abuse and co-occurring conditions in youth and families ; 3) Provide an ongoing mechanism for training and educating faculty, students and community members in a range of issues related to addressing racial/ethnic health disparities generally and in Latino immigrant/refugee populations; and provide opportunities for partner community members to gain specific research skills that will increase capacity and research participation; and 4) Support the overall mission of the Center by conducting specific, collaborative activities aimed at: increasing skills and knowledge related to preventing substance abuse and related health conditions, testing innovative social media and branding strategies to increase the likelihood of behavior change, and improving health literacy and capacity using a tested community training approach. 5) Disseminate the results of the research to the participating communities and to the field, via the Center website and multiple channels.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国人口的不断变化〜最近移民在人口增长中发挥关键作用〜并将继续对健康差异的过程产生重大影响。因此，拟议的GWU NIMHD P20探索中心的非常及时的整体使命是建立在与华盛顿特区大都会区拉丁裔移民人口的现有学术社区合作的基础上药物滥用和同时发生的条件。这项合作将：1）在消除健康差异以及拉丁裔社区的健康方面有助于该领域的跨学科发展； 2）开发，实施和评估一个创新的，社区驱动的，多组分的社区干预（称为Adelante），该干预措施解决了青年和家庭中滥用药物滥用和同时发生条件的脆弱性； 3）提供了一种持续的机制，用于培训和教育教职员工，学生和社区成员，这些问题与解决种族/族裔健康差异有关的一系列问题以及拉丁美洲人/难民人口的解决方案；并为合作伙伴社区成员提供机会，以获得特定的研究技能，以提高能力和研究参与； 4）通过开展针对以下特定的协作活动来支持中心的整体使命：提高与防止药物滥用和相关健康状况相关的技能和知识，测试创新的社交媒体和品牌策略，以增加行为改变的可能性，并使用经过测试的社区培训方法提高健康素养和能力。 5）通过中心网站和多个渠道将研究结果传播给参与社区和现场。
