项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gulf States Collaborative Center for Health Policy Research (Gulf States CC) is a regional consortium proposed by the Bayou Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike, in collaboration with the University of Southern Mississippi and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. It is supported by a multisector coalition of community-based; and faith-based organizations, healthcare organizations, state and local government institutions. The Consortium targets Alabama and Mississippi, which include some of the most impoverished and vulnerable communities in the nation. In Years 3-5, the geographic scope will be expanded to the neighboring Gulf States. The overall goal of the Gulf States CC is to significantly reduce the burden of chronic disease in minority, low-income, and other vulnerable populations in the Gulf region by conducting innovative health policy research. We will develop and evaluate a novel community-based model in which community residents assume leadership in the assessment, development, and evaluation of policies impacting health disparities. Building on our established community infrastructure, we will use a Community- Based Participatory Research approach to examine the socioeconomic, health-system, and environmental policies that interplay to produce disparate chronic disease outcomes in vulnerable populations. Ultimately, we aim to generate evidence-based, community-initiated policy change that can significantly reduce racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities. In the planning phase, we will solidify and expand our multisector coalition to establish a regional infrastructure in support of the proposed research activities; conduct a comprehensive assessment of existing policies that directly or indirectly impact the health of vulnerable populations in the region; develop a Community Action Plan (CAP) to engage the communities in health policy research and direct action organizing for policy change; finalize procedures for pilot projects; and develop a plan for the implementation phase. In the implementation phase, we will implement the CAP, a collaborative program for health policy research relevant to the disease burden of the targeted population, a pilot project program, and will evaluate the Consortium and disseminate results.

描述（由申请人提供）：海湾国家卫生政策研究合作中心 (Gulf States CC) 是由 Bayou Clinic（类似联邦合格的卫生中心）与南密西西比大学和阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校。它得到了以社区为基础的多部门联盟的支持；以及信仰组织、医疗保健组织、州和地方政府机构。该联盟的目标是阿拉巴马州和密西西比州，其中包括美国一些最贫困和脆弱的社区。在第 3-5 年，地理范围将扩大到邻近的海湾国家。海湾国家CC的总体目标是通过开展创新的卫生政策研究，显着减轻海湾地区少数民族、低收入和其他弱势群体的慢性病负担。我们将开发和评估一种新的基于社区的模型，在该模型中，社区居民在影响健康差异的政策的评估、制定和评估中发挥领导作用。在我们已建立的社区基础设施的基础上，我们将使用基于社区的参与性研究方法来研究社会经济、卫生系统和环境政策，这些政策相互作用，在弱势群体中产生不同的慢性病结果。最终，我们的目标是产生基于证据、社区发起的政策变革，以显着减少种族/民族和社会经济差异。在规划阶段，我们将巩固和扩大我们的多部门联盟，以建立区域基础设施来支持拟议的研究活动；对直接或间接影响该地区弱势群体健康的现有政策进行全面评估；制定社区行动计划（CAP），让社区参与卫生政策研究并组织政策变革的直接行动；最终确定试点项目的程序；并制定实施阶段的计划。在实施阶段，我们将实施CAP，这是一项与目标人群疾病负担相关的卫生政策研究合作项目，是一个试点项目计划，并对联盟进行评估并传播结果。
