DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): American Indians (Al) suffer some of the greatest health disparities among all racial/ethnic groups in the United States. In addition, Al are under-represented in research, particularly in clinical trials, and in higher education, including undergraduate programs, graduate programs, and medical school. To address these health disparities and bring more Al into the health professions, we propose the development of the Central Plains Center for American Indian Health Disparities (CPC-AIHD). Our long term goal is to reduce health disparities among Al in the Central Plains through quality community-based participatory research (CBPR) and enhanced opportunities for Al students to enter the health professions through pipeline programs from high school through college and into graduate and medical school. Our Specific Aims for the CPC-AIHD are to: 1) To create an interdisciplinary, CBPR center for health disparities research in Al communities in the Central Plains; 2) To provide methodologic support to health disparities researchers in the Center through quality-controlled biostatistics and data management; 3) To create an educational pipeline for Al students from high school, through college, and into graduate schools in the health professions; and 4) To enlist the help of the local and regional Al communities in all parts of the research process through Community Advisory Boards and research staff. Over the past five years, the Program in American Indian Community Health at the University of Kansas Medical Center has developed and lead the creation of the American Indian Health Research and Education Alliance, an alliance of academic institutions, tribes, community organizations, and corporations/government entities, whose mission is to improve the health of Al through quality participatory research and education. The CPC-AIHD will build on our successful CBPR research team and alliance and will integrate existing, funded health disparities research with two new research projects. Our projects include 1) a mammography satisfaction project designed to determine how the mammography experience can be improved to encourage repeat mammography among Al women; and 2) an epidemiology study focused on smoking patterns among tribal college students to help determine why Al have the highest smoking rates of any racial/ethnic group in the US.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国印第安人（AL）在美国所有种族/族裔群体中遭受一些最大的健康差异。此外，AL在研究中的代表不足，特别是在临床试验中，以及高等教育，包括本科课程，研究生课程和医学院。为了解决这些健康差异并将更多的AL带入健康专业，我们提出了中央平原美国印第安人健康差异（CPC-AIHD）的发展。我们的长期目标是通过基于社区的质量参与性研究（CBPR）减少中央平原中AL的健康差异，并增加了AL学生通过从高中到大学到研究生和医学院的管道计划进入卫生专业的机会。我们对CPC-AIHD的具体目的是：1）在中部平原的AL社区中创建一个跨学科的CBPR健康差异研究中心； 2）通过质量控制的生物统计学和数据管理为中心的健康差异提供方法论支持； 3）为来自高中，大学的AL学生创建教育管道，并进入健康专业的研究生院； 4）通过社区咨询委员会和研究人员在研究过程的各个部分中获得当地和地区AL社区的帮助。在过去的五年中，堪萨斯大学医学中心的美洲印第安人卫生计划的该计划已开发并领导着美洲印第安人健康研究和教育联盟的建立，这是学术机构，部落，社区组织和公司/政府实体的联盟，其使命是通过优质的参与性研究和教育来改善AL的健康。 CPC-AIHD将建立在我们成功的CBPR研究团队和联盟的基础上，并将现有的，资助的健康差异研究与两个新的研究项目相结合。我们的项目包括1）乳房X线摄影满意度项目，旨在确定如何改善乳房X线摄影经验，以鼓励女性反复乳房X线摄影； 2）一项流行病学研究的重点是部落大学生的吸烟方式，以帮助确定为什么AL在美国任何种族/族裔群体中的吸​​烟率最高。
