项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center of Excellence in Eliminating Health Disparities (CEED) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is a crucial resource to advance our research and outreach activities addressing minority health and health disparities. This National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Revision Application to Support Environmental Health Disparities Research (RFA-MD-11-008) is a timely response designed to expand health disparity research by integrating a broadly defined environmental health disparity perspective to the existing UIC CEED framework. The research project objective is to explore mechanisms explaining racial differences in exposure to environmental hazards and access to care, and in health outcomes. To achieve this objective, we will compile relevant neighborhood level data on environmental hazards and access to care in Cook County, and link them to other social determinants data that are compiled in the data repository. We will use three approaches to examine the associations. First, we will examine the effect of racial residential segregation on the physical and social environment variables (the presence of environmental hazards and access to health care facilities). Second, we will examine incidence and late stage diagnosis of breast, cervical, and lung cancer in relation to environmental risk factors. Third, to examine changes in environmental conditions on health outcomes, we will explore the effect of changes in racial composition and SES between 2000 and 2010 (relocation of racial/ethnic minorities who moved from inner city Chicago to suburban Cook County). The Environmental Core will operate in collaboration with the other Core groups, to maximize the environmental health disparities research capacity of the UIC CEED. Data generated from this project will be deposited into the Data Core and made available to collaborating local health disparities researchers and community advocates.

描述（由申请人提供）：伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 (UIC) 消除健康差异卓越中心 (CEED) 是推进我们解决少数族裔健康和健康差异问题的研究和外展活动的重要资源。国家少数民族健康和健康差异研究所 (NIMHD) 支持环境健康差异研究的修订申请 (RFA-MD-11-008) 是一项及时的回应，旨在通过将广泛定义的环境健康差异观点与环境健康差异研究相结合来扩大健康差异研究。现有 UIC CEED 框架。该研究项目的目标是探索解释环境危害、获得护理以及健康结果方面种族差异的机制。为了实现这一目标，我们将汇编有关库克县环境危害和获得护理的相关社区级数据，并将其与数据存储库中汇编的其他社会决定因素数据联系起来。我们将使用三种方法来检查关联。首先，我们将研究种族居住隔离对物理和社会环境变量（环境危害的存在和医疗保健设施的使用）的影响。其次，我们将研究与环境危险因素相关的乳腺癌、宫颈癌和肺癌的发病率和晚期诊断。第三，为了检验环境条件的变化对健康结果的影响，我们将探讨 2000 年至 2010 年间种族构成和社会经济地位变化的影响（从芝加哥内城区搬迁到库克县郊区的少数种族/族裔）。环境核心将与其他核心小组合作运作，以最大限度地发挥 UIC CEED 的环境健康差异研究能力。该项目生成的数据将存入数据核心，并提供给合作的当地健康差异研究人员和社区倡导者。
