 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): More than 36 million people worldwide die from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) every year. In the US, the CDC estimates that 75% of our healthcare dollars are spent treating chronic diseases. However, the epidemic of NCDs is not an entirely Western phenomenon. There is increasing recognition among public health stakeholders worldwide that global NCDs are responsible for skyrocketing rates of death and disability in low and middle-income countries. In order to stem the tide of the global NCD epidemic, there needs to be innovative, community-based, and cost-effective interventions for health promotion and chronic diseases prevention. One approach to managing the burgeoning NCD epidemic is utilizing community health workers (CHWs). CHWs have been used in resource-limited settings to reduce health disparities and are increasingly being used as key components of global health interventions. This is a proposal for researchers at the University of California San Francisco Prevention Research Center (UCSF PRC) to join the Global and Territorial Health Research Network (GTHRN SIP 14-022) as a collaborating center. The long-term objective of this network is to promote health and prevent chronic diseases by building public health partnerships between institutions in the US, US territories, and partner countries, with the goal of learning and evaluating innovative approaches to addressing NCDs that have been developed in resource-limited settings. Among our top aims as a collaborating center will be to work with CDC scientists, the GTHRN coordinating center, other GTHRN collaborating centers, and our local, national, territorial, and global partner sites to help develp a logic model, a shared research agenda, establish a core Writing Group, convene advisory committees, and plan for a national symposium. We will also participate in all activities of the GTHRN, including attendance at monthly videoconference or teleconference calls with the entire GTHRN, and biannual in-person meetings. In conclusion, UCSF-PRC will work closely and collaboratively with CDC and the entire GTHRN to develop joint research agendas that will translate into effective public health policies and interventions to benefit communities in high priority populations in the US.

 描述（由申请人提供）：全世界每年有超过 3600 万人死于非传染性疾病 (NCD)。美国疾病预防控制中心 (CDC) 估计，我们 75% 的医疗费用用于治疗慢性病。非传染性疾病并不完全是西方现象，全世界公共卫生利益相关者越来越认识到，全球非传染性疾病是低收入和中等收入国家死亡率和残疾率飙升的原因。非传染性疾病流行，需要采取创新的、以社区为基础的、具有成本效益的干预措施来促进健康和预防慢性病。管理迅速蔓延的非传染性疾病流行的一种方法是利用社区卫生工作者 (CHW) 进行资源管理。这是加州大学旧金山预防研究中心 (UCSF PRC) 的研究人员加入全球和地区健康研究网络 (GTHRN) 的一项提案。啜饮14-022）作为合作中心，该网络的长期目标是通过在美国、美国领土和伙伴国家的机构之间建立公共卫生伙伴关系，以学习和评估为目标，促进健康和预防慢性病。作为一个合作中心，我们的首要目标之一是与 CDC 科学家、GTHRN 协调中心、其他 GTHRN 合作中心以及我们的地方、国家、地区合作来解决非传染性疾病问题。我们还将参与 GTHRN 的所有活动，包括参加每月一次的会议。与整个 GTHRN 举行视频会议或电话会议，以及每两年一次的面对面会议 最后，UCSF-PRC 将与 CDC 和整个 GTHRN 密切合作，制定联合研究议程，以转化为有效的公共卫生。使美国高优先人群社区受益的政策和干预措施。
