项目摘要

COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT: PROJECT SUMMARY The Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center (MCC) is nationally recognized for engaging the communities it serves in research addressing cancer disparities, facilitating access to high-quality cancer screening and treatment, providing education on best cancer prevention practices, and advancing public policy changes that reduce the cancer burden in Virginia and beyond. The MCC catchment area includes 66 contiguous localities (47 counties and 19 independent cities) in central, southern, and eastern Virginia across urban and rural settings with diverse and underserved populations. Vanessa B. Sheppard, PhD, Associate Director for Community Outreach and Engagement (COE), directs an Office of COE to 1) connect catchment-area communities to cancer risk education, screening, and treatment; 2) cultivate interest among MCC investigators across basic, clinical, translational, and population sciences to conduct research addressing catchment-area burden, disparities, and community priorities; 3) establish a formal process by which community members inform research activities; 4) collaborate with the MCC Clinical Trials Office to improve accruals of individuals underrepresented in research; and 5) promote local, state, and national policies that impact cancer prevention, care delivery, and cancer control. Based on community data and input that played a significant role in framing the MCC 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, research and COE priorities include cancer disparities; survivorship; prevention, early detection, and treatment for lung, gastrointestinal, breast, and prostate cancers; and implementing impactful behavioral interventions to reduce cancer risk (e.g., tobacco control and obesity reduction). To assess the impact of COE efforts, the Office of COE uses a logic model with short-term (e.g., expand reach, enhance services, augment collaborations) and long-term metrics (e.g., decrease cancer burden, increase cancer health equity). Future plans include 1) partnering with Statistical Analysis System to augment the COE’s current capabilities to report comprehensive data for monitoring the catchment-area cancer risk and burden; 2) strengthening COE communication channels through bidirectional information flow and participation between the community and MCC investigators to build robust trust that allows for mutual decision making, leading to better health outcomes; 3) expanding COE education, screening, and clinical research participation initiatives tailored for racial/ethnic minority and other potentially underserved populations (e.g., elderly, LGBTQ+); 4) building on relationships with the Eastern Virginia Medical School and two Historically Black Universities (Norfolk State University and Hampton University) to launch targeted COE initiatives in the coastal Hampton Roads area; and 5) deploying new mobile units to extend COE’s reach in rural communities throughout the catchment area.

社区宣传与参与：项目摘要弗吉尼亚联邦大学梅西癌症中心（MCC）因参与它在解决癌症差异的研究方面服务的社区，支持进入高质量癌症筛查和治疗，提供有关最佳癌症预防实践的教育以及推进公共政策减少弗吉尼亚州及以后的癌症伯宁的变化。 MCC集水区包括66个连续城市中部，南部和东部弗吉尼亚州和城市的地区（47个县和19个独立城市）农村环境有潜水员和服务不足的人口。 Vanessa B. Sheppard博士，副主任社区外展与参与（COE），将COE办公室指导到1）连接集水区域癌症风险教育，筛查和治疗的社区； 2）在MCC调查人员中培养兴趣跨基本，临床，转化和人口科学，以进行集水区域的研究伯恩，分布和社区优先事项； 3）建立一个正式的过程，通过该过程，社区成员的信息研究活动； 4）与MCC临床试验办公室合作以提高个人的准确性研究不足； 5）促进影响预防癌症的地方，州和国家政策，护理和控制癌症。基于社区数据和输入，在框架中发挥了重要作用 MCC 2021-2025战略计划，研究和COE优先级包括癌症分布；生存；预防，早期检测和治疗肺，胃肠道，乳房和前列腺癌；和实施有影响力的行为干预措施以降低癌症风险（例如，烟草控制和肥胖症减少）。为了评估COE努力的影响，COE办公室使用了短期逻辑模型（例如，扩展覆盖范围，增强服务，增强协作）和长期指标（例如，减少癌症伯恩（Cancer Burnen），增加癌症健康公平）。未来计划包括1）与统计分析系统合作以增加 COE目前的功能报告了监测集水区癌症风险和的全面数据伯恩2）通过双向信息流和参与加强COE通信渠道在社区和MCC调查人员之间建立强大的信任，这使得共同决策，导致更好的健康成果； 3）扩大COE教育，筛查和临床研究参与针对种族/族裔少数民族和其他潜在服务不足的人群量身定制的倡议（例如， LGBTQ+）; 4）建立与东弗吉尼亚医学院和两个历史上黑人的关系的建立大学（诺福克州立大学和汉普顿大学）将在沿海地区发起针对性的COE计划汉普顿路地区； 5）部署新的移动设备，以扩大COE在整个农村社区的影响力集水区。
