项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT We propose to establish a Short-term "Research Education Program" to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research, that aims to increase the number of underrepresented undergraduate and health professional students interested and engaged in health disparities research, particularly focused on reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Latino populations. The program will become part of our new NHLBI-funded (P50) Center for Population Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD), and it will be integrated into the CPHHD's current Training and Career Development Program. The UCLA CPHHD is conducting intensive home and neighborhood environment interventions to improve the food and physical activity landscape in East Los Angeles, California (East L.A.), and it uses interdisciplinary methods to understand and intervene on CVD disparities in this low-income, high-risk Latino community. The focus of the education and training is to create a new kind of health disparities researcher, who considers the micro, individual, family, systems and community level factors that contribute to CVD disparities in Latino populations and integrates bench and social science approaches. Our proposed program will take advantage of the CPHHD's interdisciplinary team of investigators from the fields of physiology, epidemiology, psychology, psychiatry, nutritional sciences, health promotion, health communications, biostatistics, and media and the arts. Over the course of the five years of the program, we will recruit and select 40 underrepresented students from the UCLA undergraduate program and from the UCLA Schools of Public Health, Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry, as well as from other local universities, such as the University of Southern California (USC), to participate in the program. Each summer, four dyads comprised of an undergraduate student and a health professions student will be partnered with UCLA CPHHD investigators. Students will receive intensive one-on-one mentoring and will participate in seminars and workshops focused on health disparities research and policy, health professions preparation and training and career development, and they will be expected to write a report and present their work to the CPHHD investigators and at scientific and professional meetings. It is our expectation that the majority of the students will choose to enter a health professions program or research career focused on health disparities. We will conduct both process and outcome evaluation to determine program success.

项目概要/摘要我们建议建立一个短期“研究教育计划”以增加多样性健康相关研究，旨在增加代表性不足的本科生数量以及对健康差异研究感兴趣并从事健康专业的学生，特别关注减少拉丁裔人群的心血管疾病（CVD）。这该计划将成为我们新的 NHLBI 资助 (P50) 人口健康中心的一部分健康差异 (CPHHD)，它将被纳入 CPHHD 当前的培训和职业发展计划。加州大学洛杉矶分校 CPHHD 正在开展强化家庭和邻里环境干预措施，以改善食物和体育活动景观加利福尼亚州东洛杉矶（East L.A.），它使用跨学科的方法来理解并对这个低收入、高风险的拉丁裔社区的 CVD 差异进行干预。重点是教育和培训的目的是培养一种新型的健康差异研究人员，他们考虑了微观、个人、家庭、系统和社区层面的因素拉丁裔人群的 CVD 差异，并整合了实验室和社会科学方法。我们的拟议的计划将利用 CPHHD 的跨学科研究团队来自生理学、流行病学、心理学、精神病学、营养科学、健康领域推广、健康传播、生物统计学、媒体和艺术。在整个过程中在该计划的五年中，我们将从中招募和选拔 40 名代表性不足的学生加州大学洛杉矶分校本科课程和加州大学洛杉矶分校公共卫生学院、医学院、护理学院、和牙科，以及其他本地大学，例如南方大学加利福尼亚州（南加州大学），参加该计划。每年夏天，四个二人组组成本科生和健康专业学生将与 UCLA CPHHD 合作调查人员。学生将接受密集的一对一指导并参加重点关注健康差异研究和政策、卫生专业的研讨会和讲习班准备、培训和职业发展，他们将需要写一份报告并向 CPHHD 研究人员以及科学和专业会议展示他们的工作。我们期望大多数学生会选择进入健康专业专注于健康差异的计划或研究生涯。我们将同时进行流程和结果评估以确定计划的成功。
