DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Deep South Network for Cancer Control (DSNCC) focuses on some of the most impoverished and underserved areas in the US. The rural MS Delta, AL Black Belt and inner city of Birmingham, AL and Hattiesburg, Laurel, MS have exceptionally high rates of cancer mortality, cancer disparity and obesity. The DSNCC has for 9 yrs systematically addressed the major cancer health concerns of these areas. A community based infrastructure was established that in collaboration with three academic institutions addressed disparity in cervical and breast cancer screening and more recently in colorectal cancer screening, lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating. During this period we have expanded our community infrastructure in our targeted areas to include a Community Network Partnership (CNP) in each county. Building upon our community-academic partnership, our success in promoting cancer screening, increasing physical activity and incorporating healthy eating into churches, we have the following overall Specific Aims: 1-Through the Community Outreach Core, promote screening for breast, cervix, and colorectal cancer and increased physical activity and healthy eating through a community based participatory approach that includes development of a Community Action Plan that targets all levels of the socio-ecological model; 2- through the Research Core develop, implement, and evaluate the efficacy of a community-based, participatory, culturally-relevant intervention to reduce body weight among African American women residing in rural communities in the Deep South through a group randomized trial. Also, develop, implement, and disseminate the results of 3 pilot projects that address the needs of the community as well as the NCI requirements, with the first having a primary focus of addressing the need of revisiting the current colorectal cancer screening guidelines for African Americans; 3-through the Training Core train a cadre of new investigators who are committed to community based participatory research (CBPR) to eliminate cancer health disparities. The activities of these cores will be coordinated by an Administrative Core.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症控制深度网络（DSNCC）重点是美国一些最贫穷，服务不足的地区。伯明翰的Al Black Belt和Al和Hattiesburg，Laurel，Laurel，MS的乡村MS Delta MS和MS的Hattiesburg内城具有极高的癌症死亡率，癌症差异和肥胖。 DSNCC已系统地解决了这些领域的主要癌症健康问题。建立了一个基于社区的基础设施，该基础设施与三个学术机构合作解决了宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查的差异，以及最近结肠直肠癌筛查，缺乏体育锻炼和不健康的饮食。在此期间，我们扩大了目标地区的社区基础设施，以包括每个县的社区网络合作伙伴关系（CNP）。在我们的社区学术伙伴关系的基础上，我们在促进癌症筛查，增加体育锻炼并将健康饮食融入教会的基础上，我们具有以下总体特定目标：1-直到社区外展核心，促进乳房，子宫颈，结直肠癌和结肠直肠癌，体育癌症以及通过社区基于社区行动计划的基于社区行动计划的社区行动计划的社会级别的模型，使身体活动和健康饮食增加，这是社会级别的模型， 2- 通过研究核心开发，实施和评估一个基于社区的， 参与性的，与文化相关的干预措施，以减轻居住在深南部农村社区的非裔美国妇女的体重，这是通过一项小组随机试验。此外，开发，实施和传播了解决社区需求以及NCI需求的3个试点项目的结果，首先是应对重新审查非裔美国人的最终结直肠癌筛查指南的主要重点； 3通过训练核心培训一批新调查人员的干部，他们致力于基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）消除癌症健康差异。这些核心的活动将由行政核心协调。
