项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer-related health disparities in the U.S. have been well documented. Cancer incidence (all sites combined) has declined in recent years for the population as a whole and for all racial/ethnic groups except American Indian/Alaska native women. However black men continued to show the highest incidence rates over time during the past decade. Similarly, death rates declined over the same time period for all racial/ethnic groups, but black men and women continued to show the highest mortality rates for all cancers combined, even though cancer incidence for black women is not elevated for most cancers. People of low socio-economic status also show elevated cancer incidence and cancer mortality. Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention measures are experienced less frequently in racial/ethnic minority groups. Behavioral risk factors for cancer (smoking, secondhand smoke exposure, physical inactivity, obesity, excess alcohol use) are elevated in many racial/ethnic minorities compared to the general population. Some racial/ethnic minority groups are less likely to receive screening for early stage detection and treatment, and health disparities in post-diagnosis cancer care are common across cancer sites and at all stages. One strategy for reducing racial/ethnic and socio-economic disparities in cancer is to increase the number of individuals, both minorities and others, who are prepared to conduct research in this area. The overall goal of this R25T proposal is to educate researchers who are prepared to develop, test and evaluate interventions in both clinical and population settings to reduce cancer-related inequities among disadvantaged populations (broadly defined here to include race, ethnicity, immigration status, age, income, geography, gender, sexual orientation, etc). We intend also to enhance the diversity of the research workforce in this area by specifically recruiting individuals from underrepresented/disadvantaged populations. This program is innovative in focusing on intervention to reduce cancer disparities; in focusing on education and experience in community-based research; and in providing mentoring by community members who can provide cultural mentoring and partnership in all aspects of research.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国与癌症相关的健康差异已得到充分记录。近年来，整个人口以及除美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加本地妇女以外的所有种族/族裔群体的癌症发病率（所有地点）都在下降。然而，在过去十年中，黑人继续显示出最高的发病率。同样，在所有种族/族裔群体的同一时期，死亡率下降，但黑人男女在所有癌症中的死亡率仍然最高，尽管大多数癌症的癌症发病率并没有升高。社会经济状况低下的人也表现出癌症的发病率和癌症死亡率升高。在种族/族裔少数群体中，初级，二级和三级预防措施的经历较少。与一般人群相比，许多种族/族裔少数族裔的行为风险因素（吸烟，二手烟暴露，身体不活跃，肥胖，过量饮酒）升高。一些种族/族裔少数群体不太可能接受早期检测和治疗的筛查，诊断后癌症护理的健康差异在癌症部位和各个阶段都很常见。减少癌症种族/种族和社会经济差异的一种策略是增加准备在这一领域进行研究的个人和其他人的人数。该R25T提案的总体目标是教育准备开发，测试和评估临床和人口中的干预措施的研究人员，以减少弱势群体中与癌症相关的不平等（此处广泛定义为种族，种族，族裔，移民年龄，年龄，年龄，收入，地理，性别，性别，性取向等）。我们还打算通过专门招募来自代表性不足/处境不利的人群的个人来提高该领域研究人员的多样性。该计划专注于干预以减少癌症差异。专注于社区研究中的教育和经验；并提供社区成员的指导，他们可以在研究的各个方面提供文化指导和伙伴关系。
