项目摘要

DESCRIPTION: Violence is a substantial threat to the health of Chicagoans. In 2011, 433 people in Chicago were murdered; the number of homicides for the first 9 months of 2012 was 28% higher than the same period last year. There has been a substantial public outcry over this issue, particularly in minority communities on the South and West Sides of Chicago, which have been affected by violence at greatly disproportionate rates. Although many community organizations, researchers, and funders in Chicago are working to reduce violence and achieving laudable results, a lack of coordination and communication too frequently hampers their effectiveness and the ability to build a reliable violence prevention knowledge base. Community organizations often lack capacity for program evaluation or implementation of evidence-based approaches in local settings, researchers may lack the connections to communities needed to ensure that their work makes a meaningful difference in people's lives, and funders may not align their priorities with those of community organizations and researchers. Strengthening Chicago's Youth (SCY) is organized and facilitated by the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (formerly Children's Memorial Hospital) to address these gaps. SCY's goal is to build capacity among public and private stakeholders to connect, collaborate and mobilize around a public health approach to violence prevention-adopting consistent messages about the preventability of violence, promoting the use of evidence-based violence prevention strategies, and fostering multi-sector collaboration- leading to the increased adoption of effective, sustainable violence prevention strategies and the capacity to develop innovative, reliable approaches to violence prevention. This proposal for the Community-Academic Collaboration to Prevent Violence in Chicago builds on the strengths of SCY. The goal of the proposed project is to build capacity to develop, implement, and evaluate strategies to reduce health disparities related to violence by establishing and enhancing connections among community organizations, researchers, and local funders working to prevent violence and strengthen youth, families, and communities in Chicago. This goal will be accomplished through three specific aims: (1) Convene a conference series to conduct outreach to identify the key areas of concern and research priorities of community residents and community organizations related to violence-related disparities; (2) Through a conference series, provide health education to raise awareness among community residents and community organizations about local disparities in violent injuries, deaths, and related health outcomes and strategies to reduce disparities and address key areas of community concern; and (3) Develop a partnership with community organizations, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, and convene a series of partnership meetings to create a long-term CBPR agenda and establish a permanent infrastructure to facilitate the implementation of CBPR projects to address and eliminate health disparities related to violence.

描述：暴力是对芝加哥人健康的重大威胁。 2011年，芝加哥有433人被谋杀。 2012年前9个月的凶杀案数量比去年同期高28％。关于这个问题，人们对这个问题产生了巨大的强烈抗议，尤其是在芝加哥南部和西侧的少数民族社区中，这些社区受到暴力的影响，以极不成比例的利率影响。尽管芝加哥的许多社区组织，研究人员和资助者都在努力减少暴力并取得值得称赞的结果，但缺乏协调和沟通频繁地阻碍了他们的有效性以及建立可靠的预防暴力知识基础的能力。社区组织通常缺乏在当地环境中基于证据的方法进行计划评估或实施的能力，研究人员可能缺乏与确保其工作对人们生活产生有意义不同所需的社区的联系，而资助者可能不会与社区组织和研究人员的优先事项保持一致。加强芝加哥的青年（SCY）由安和罗伯特·H·卢里儿童医院（以前是儿童纪念医院）组织和促进，以解决这些差距。 SCY的目标是在公共和私人利益相关者之间建立能力，以连接，协作和动员围绕一种公共卫生方法进行预防预防暴力，以一致的信息，促进循证基于证据的暴力预防策略的使用，并促进多部门的合作，从而提高有效的，可持续的暴力策略，以发展有效的暴力策略，以实现暴力和不断发展的态度。这项关于防止芝加哥暴力行为的社区学术合作的提议以卑鄙的优势为基础。拟议项目的目的是通过建立和加强社区组织，研究人员和当地资助者之间的联系，以防止暴力和加强芝加哥的青年，家庭和社区来建立和加强联系，以建立，实施和评估策略以减少与暴力有关的健康差异的能力。该目标将通过三个具体目标来实现：（1）召集会议系列以进行宣传，以确定社区居民和与暴力相关差异有关的社区居民和社区组织的关键领域；（2）通过会议系列，提供健康教育，以提高社区居民和社区组织对暴力伤害，死亡以及相关健康成果的当地差异的认识，以减少差异并解决社区关注的关键领域；（3）与社区组织建立合作伙伴关系，该伙伴关系是通过理解备忘录正式建立的，并召集了一系列合作伙伴会议，以建立长期的CBPR议程，并建立永久基础设施，以促进CBPR项目的实施，以解决和消除与暴力有关的健康危害。
