DESCRIPTION: Obesity has been described as a national epidemic and is associated with a number of negative health outcomes, including higher rates of chronic disease (e.g., heart disease, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers), elevated health-care costs, decreased quality of life, and greater risk of premature death. Hispanics are disproportionally affected by obesity, having a 21% greater risk of being obese compared to non-Hispanic whites. One way to address obesity-related health disparities is through the creation of meaningful partnerships between academic institutions and community-based health organizations using an approach called community based participatory research (CBPR). OBJECTIVE: To establish a CBPR partnership between Northwestern University (NU) clinicians and researchers and the Chicago Hispanic Health Coalition (CHHC), a group of over 600 local health and social service agencies and community based organizations whose mission is to promote healthy behavior and prevent chronic disease and health disparities in the Hispanic communities of metropolitan Chicago. This partnership will jointly address racial health disparities among the Hispanic community as it relates to chronic stress and related cultural and environmental factors in the context of increasing engagement in obesity prevention and health promotion behaviors. STUDY DESIGN: We will form a collaborative research alliance, participate in capacity building, learning and professional development, and engage the Hispanic community through outreach and education. In Year 1, we will develop an advisory board, convene a community kickoff meeting, form a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between NU and CHHC, and host community forums for dissemination and outreach. In year 2 we will continue to have quarterly advisory board meetings and community forums. We will also develop an MOU with a second community based organization, Salud Latina. In year 3 we will continue quarterly advisory board meetings and community forums. We will also write and submit a grant proposal to build capacity within our developing alliance, enhance networks and infrastructure that will promote community-engaged research that not only takes place in the community, but involves the community; and foster preliminary work in health promotion and obesity prevention in the Hispanic community. RELEVANCE: This work will advance understanding and community-academic aligned strategies and action plans to prevent and reduce obesity among the Hispanic community through better understanding the role of chronic stress.

描述：肥胖症已被描述为一种全国流行病，与许多负面健康结果有关，包括慢性疾病的率高（例如心脏病，高血压，中风，2型糖尿病和某些癌症），卫生保健成本升高，降低的医疗保健成本，生活质量降低以及更大的早期死亡风险。西班牙裔人受肥胖的影响不成比例，与非西班牙裔白人相比，肥胖的风险高21％。解决与肥胖相关的健康差异的一种方法是通过使用一种称为社区参与性研究（CBPR）方法在学术机构和社区卫生组织之间建立有意义的伙伴关系。目的：建立西北大学（NU）临床医生和研究人员与芝加哥西班牙裔健康联盟（CHHC）之间建立CBPR合作伙伴关系，这是一组由600多个当地卫生和社会服务机构和社区组织组成的小组，其使命是促进健康行为，并预防梅特罗氏菌芝加哥的西班牙裔社区的慢性疾病和健康疾病。这种伙伴关系将共同解决西班牙裔社区之间的种族健康差异，因为它与慢性压力以及相关的文化和环境因素有关，这是在增加肥胖预防和健康促进行为的背景下。研究设计：我们将组建一个合作研究联盟，参与能力建设，学习和专业发展，并通过外展和教育参与西班牙裔社区。在第一年，我们将建立一个顾问委员会，召集社区开球会议，构成NU和CHHC之间的谅解备忘录（MOU），以及传播和推广的主持社区论坛。在第二年，我们将继续举办季度顾问委员会会议和社区论坛。我们还将与第二个社区组织Salud Latina一起开发谅解备忘录。在第3年，我们将继续季度顾问委员会会议和社区论坛。我们还将撰写并提交一项赠款建议，以在我们发展的联盟内建立能力，增强网络和基础设施，以促进社区参与的研究，不仅在社区中进行，而且涉及社区；并培养西班牙裔社区健康促进和预防肥胖的初步工作。相关性：这项工作将通过更好地理解慢性压力的作用，以提高理解和社区学术的策略和行动计划，以预防和减少西班牙裔社区的肥胖。
