DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to continue the Arkansas Prevention Research Center (ARPRC), building on: activities currently by initial PRC funding; close collaboration between the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health (COPH) and community partners with a reconfigured structure of a consortium between these three entities. The 5-year goal is to: develop the research, partnerships, educational, and communication/dissemination infrastructure in collaborative consortium consisting of ADH practitioners, COPH faculty, and key community partners to develop and implement a core research project to address a scalable approach to enhancing HTN control; develop public health practice capacity; enhance a history of collaboration; and participate actively in the PRC Network. The Mission is to: develop research and educational programs to enhance public health practice in order to reduce risks for chronic diseases among those who bear the greatest risk in the state, Arkansas' racial and ethnic minorities, with a goal of eliminating chronic disease health disparities. To achieve this Mission, the Center will develop core infrastructure, including: a Director's Office (DO) and Executive Committee (EC) to manage the daily administrative matters; a Partner Advisory Committee (PAC) of state health leaders to provide feedback and assist in sustaining cost- effective findings; a Steering Committee (SC) with all members of the EC, core unit members, and Research Project PI/Co-PIs to establish ARPRC priorities; a Community Committee (CC) with members representing diverse leaders of Desha County, the proposed research project site to advise both the DO and the Research project team about implementing the research project; a Community Engagement, Partnerships and Technical Assistance Unit (CEPTAU), building on the existing the COPH and ADH collaborations (particularly the existing Joint Advisory Council - JAC) for technical assistance (TA) initiatives and to develop the CC; a Communication and Dissemination Unit (CDU) to establish a communication plan to integrate and promote all center core activities and translate research, and to develop and implement a community media HTN campaign for the Research Project; and a Training Unit (TU) to develop a 5-year comprehensive training plan for identified training needs to strengthen capacity of health practitioners, students, community members, and partner organizations to provide TA, improve applied public health research and practice. In addition, the major research focus of this application is identifying cost-effective methods of better controlling hypertension (HTN), a leading, relatively easily controllable risk factor for a variety of diseases which are leading sources of morbidity and mortality, particularly in Arkansas where uncontrolled HTN (u-HTN) is exceedingly high. HTN control is a major ADH priority, and public health practice approaches to enhance HTN treatment via cost-effective methods are likely scalable and sustainable if they can be integrated in the rapid health care reform occurring in Arkansas, providing a model for other sectors of the nation.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请将继续前进的阿肯色州预防研究中心（ARPRC），在：目前通过初始PRC资助的活动；阿肯色州卫生部（ADH），Fay W. Boozman公共卫生学院（COPH）与社区合作伙伴之间的密切合作，并在这三个实体之间建立了一个财团的结构。为期5年的目标是：开发研究，合作伙伴关系，教育/传播/传播基础设施，包括由ADH从业者，COPH教师和关键社区合作伙伴组成的协作财团，以开发和实施核心研究项目，以解决可扩展的方法来解决增强HTN控制的方法；发展公共卫生实践能力；增强协作历史；并积极参与中国网络。任务是：制定研究和教育计划以增强公共卫生实践，以减少在该州，阿肯色州的种族和少数民族中承担最大风险的慢性疾病的风险，以消除慢性病健康差异。为了实现这一任务，中心将发展 核心基础设施，包括：董事办公室（DO）和执行委员会（EC）来管理日常行政事务；国家卫生领导人的合作伙伴咨询委员会（PAC）提供反馈并协助维持成本效益的发现；指导委员会（SC）与EC的所有成员，核心单位成员和研究项目PI/CO-PIS建立ARPRC优先事项；一个社区委员会（CC），成员代表Desha县的多元化领导人，拟议的研究项目网站旨在向DO和研究项目团队提供有关实施研究项目的建议；社区参与，合作伙伴和技术援助部门（CEPTAU）建立在现有的COPH和ADH合作（尤其是现有联合咨询委员会-JAC）的技术援助（TA）计划（TA）倡议并制定CC；一个沟通和传播单元（CDU），以制定沟通计划，以整合和促进所有中心核心活动并翻译研究，并为研究项目开发和实施社区媒体HTN运动；以及为确定的培训制定5年综合培训计划的培训部（TU），以增强健康从业人员，学生，社区成员和合作伙伴组织的能力，以提供TA，改善应用公共卫生研究和实践。 此外，该应用的主要研究重点是确定更好地控制高血压（HTN）的成本效益方法，这是一种领先的，相对容易控制的危险因素，这些疾病是多种疾病，这些疾病是发病率和死亡率的主要来源，尤其是在不受控制的HTN（U-HTN）的阿肯色州，其极高。 HTN控制是ADH的主要优先事项，并且如果可以将它们整合到快速的医疗改革中，则通过具有成本效益的方法增强HTN治疗的公共卫生实践方法可能是可扩展的和可持续的。 在阿肯色州，为国家其他部门提供了模型。
