项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Public Health and Health Policy Research at Stony Brook University in collaboration with Literacy Suffolk Inc propose to develop a Community Alliance for Research Empowering Social Change (CARES). CARES will consist of an interdisciplinary team of researchers, community based organizations and community members working together to improve minority health and eliminate racial/ethnic health disparities on Long Island through health literacy and education. This initiative will be developed through the strategic alliances of the Graduate Program in Public Health, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, and a coalition of community members. This unique consortium will provide the necessary infrastructure for community-based participatory research. Long Island is one of the most mature and affluent suburbs in the nation with a population of approximately 3 million people. However, it is also considered the most segregated suburb in the nation, leaving its low-income residents vulnerable to poor health outcomes. Due Long Island's affluence and historical institutionalized housing practices, neighborhoods with high poverty rates are also communities of color. Utilizing community based participatory methods; we will examine the social and behavioral risk factors for racial/ethnic minorities on Long Island. Specifically, we will examine the chronic illnesses that disproportionately impact minority populations; work with our community coalition to develop and implement culturally competent evidence-based interventions; and disseminate those findings to our community members. The Center for Public Health and Health Policy Research strives to bridge the gap between community and research. Literacy Suffolk, Inc. believes that the ability to read, write, and communicate effectively is critical to personal freedom and the maintenance of a democratic society. Through CARES we will utilize the existing resources and social networks of our communities to encourage minorities to participate in research, in order to improve minority health outcomes on Long Island as well as empower our communities to participate in social change.

描述（由申请人提供）：石溪大学公共卫生和卫生政策研究中心与 Literacy Suffolk Inc 合作，提议建立一个促进社会变革研究社区联盟 (CARES)。 CARES 将由一个由研究人员、社区组织和社区成员组成的跨学科团队组成，共同努力通过健康素养和教育来改善少数族裔的健康并消除长岛的种族/民族健康差异。该计划将通过公共卫生研究生项目、萨福克县卫生服务部和社区成员联盟的战略联盟来制定。这个独特的联盟将为基于社区的参与性研究提供必要的基础设施。长岛是全美最成熟、最富裕的郊区之一，人口约 300 万。然而，它也被认为是全国种族隔离最严重的郊区，导致低收入居民的健康状况很容易受到影响。由于长岛的富裕和历史上制度化的住房实践，贫困率高的社区也是有色人种社区。利用基于社区的参与方法；我们将研究长岛少数族裔的社会和行为风险因素。具体来说，我们将研究对少数族裔人口造成不成比例影响的慢性疾病；与我们的社区联盟合作，制定和实施文化上有效的循证干预措施；并将这些发现传播给我们的社区成员。公共卫生和卫生政策研究中心致力于弥合社区与研究之间的差距。识字萨福克公司认为，有效阅读、写作和沟通的能力对于个人自由和民主社会的维护至关重要。通过 CARES，我们将利用社区的现有资源和社交网络鼓励少数群体参与研究，以改善长岛少数群体的健康状况，并赋予我们的社区参与社会变革的能力。
