DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Center for Research to Reduce Disparities in Oral Health will focus on oral health concerns of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) and will be known as the Center for Native Oral Health Research (CNOHR). The Principal Investigator is Judith E. N. Albino, PhD, President Emeritus of the University of Colorado and Professor, American Indian/Alaska Native Programs (AIANP) and Craniofacial Biology, and a health psychologist. She will lead the Research Program Administrative Center (RPAC). Dr. Spero Manson, PhD, Professor and Head, AIANP, and a medical anthropologist, will serve as Co-Investigator and lead the Community Liaison and Dissemination Core within RPAC. Biostatistician William Henderson, PhD, Professor, Colorado Health Outcomes Program, will lead the Statistics and Data Coordinating Center (S&DCC). CNOHR takes a comprehensive approach to oral health disparities in the long term, with an initial focus on oral infections and key roles of behavioral factors and comorbidities. The interdisciplinary team includes scientists trained in anthropology, biostatistics, dentistry, economics, medicine, psychology, and public health, supported by experienced project management and technology teams. The three initial projects focus on caries and periodontal disease, and intervene by extending current services and their use as well as adding prevention services and oral health promotion. The first Research Component (RC1) tests an intervention with pregnant women/mothers of newborns on a Northern Plains Reservation, which is focused on the use of motivational interviewing in prevention of ECC. RC2 is a randomized clinical trial of two methods for treating periodontal disease in Southwestern American Indians who also have Type 2 diabetes mellitus. RC3 is a test of a service delivery intervention in which tribal/community members are trained to apply fluoride varnish and deliver personalized oral health education for 3-5 year old children and their parents enrolled in reservation-based Indian Head Start programs. A Developmental Research Program will offer opportunities to pilot work suggested by new investigators, by community participation and planning activities, and by preliminary results of major projects. A focus on dissemination will include activities aimed at increasing community awareness and influencing health policy. Considerable prior experience with the participating tribes and communities has shaped the CNOHR methods and approaches, and ongoing community participation in planning will continue to influence the implementation of the RCs. A robust program of training and career development experiences will include mentoring and support for students at the secondary, undergraduate, professional and graduate, and post-doctoral levels, with emphasis on recruiting AI/AN investigators to oral health disparities research.

描述（由申请人提供）：减少口腔健康差异的研究中心将着重于美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著人（AI/ANS）的口腔健康问题，并将被称为本地口腔健康研究中心（CNOHR）。首席研究人员是科罗拉多大学大学名誉校长朱迪思·E·N·阿尔比诺（Judith E.她将领导研究计划行政中心（RPAC）。 Spero Manson博士，博士，教授兼校长，AIANP以及医学人类学家，将担任RPAC内的共同投资者，并领导社区联络和传播核心。生物统计学家威廉·亨德森（William Henderson）博士，科罗拉多州健康成果计划教授，将领导统计和数据协调中心（S＆DCC）。从长远来看，CNOHR采取了全面的口腔健康差异方法，最初的重点是口腔感染和行为因素和合并症的关键作用。跨学科团队包括接受人类学，生物统计学，牙科，经济学，医学，心理学和公共卫生的科学家，并得到经验丰富的项目管理和技术团队的支持。这三个初始项目的重点是龋齿和牙周疾病，并通过扩展当前服务及其使用以及增加预防服务和口腔健康促进来进行干预。第一个研究组成部分（RC1）在北部平原保留地上测试了与孕妇/新生儿母亲的干预措施，该预订的重点是在预防ECC方面使用动机访谈。 RC2是一项随机临床试验，是两种治疗西南美洲印第安人的牙周疾病的方法，他们也患有2型糖尿病。 RC3是对服务交付干预措施的测试，其中对部落/社区成员进行了培训，可以应用氟化物清漆，并为3-5岁的孩子及其父母提供个性化的口腔健康教育，并参加了基于预订的印度首席启动计划。一项发展研究计划将为新调查员，社区参与和计划活动以及主要项目的初步结果提供的试点工作提供机会。对传播的重点将包括旨在提高社区意识和影响健康政策的活动。与参与部落和社区的相当多的先前经验已经塑造了CNOHR方法和方法，并且持续的社区参与计划将继续影响RCS的实施。一项强大的培训和职业发展经验计划将包括对二级，本科，专业和研究生以及博士后级别的学生的指导和支持，重点是招募AI/ANE AN调查人员进行口腔健康差异研究。
