项目摘要

Current unemployment levels in California (12.2%), and specifically in the Los Angeles, Long Beach metropolitan area (12.3%) are alarmingly high, surpassing the 8.8% unemployment rate for the US overall (US Department of Labor Statistics, 2011). Latinos (48% of the LA County population) and African Americans have been hit particularly hard by the economic downturn (US Census Bureau, 2008). One sector, health care services, has held up relatively well with sustained job growth nationwide. But the lack of adequate diversity in the health care workforce has become a leading issue in efforts to address the widening ethnic/racial disparities in health and well-being among racial and ethnic minority populations. Appropriate work force development training and education of community workers, junior scholars and undergraduate students can play a pivotal role in addressing these problems. The innovative goal of the Center's Research Education and Training Core is to increase the health disparity research workforce by building skills and forging research partnerships in university and community sites addressing health disparities. The Center will actively recruit the most promising candidates into these programs, evaluate program effectiveness, and implement any necessary improvements to maximize success in training of the next generation of health disparities researchers, clinicians and policy makers. Because health disparities research is inherently multidisciplinary and community-focused, our programs emphasize the principles of team science and community based, community informed and community driven research. This core, like the Center itself, builds on the progress of its predecessor center, the UCLA Center for Research, Education, Training and Strategic Communication on Minority Health Disparities. Our overarching goal is to help achieve the Center's mission; eliminate health disparities in our diverse Los Angeles community and across the nation.

加利福尼亚州（12.2％），特别是在洛杉矶，长滩大都市地区（12.3％）的目前失业水平令人震惊，超过了美国整体的8.8％的失业率（美国劳工统计局，2011年）。拉丁美洲人（占洛杉矶县人口的48％）和非洲裔美国人受到经济低迷的攻击（美国人口普查局，2008年）。一个部门，医疗服务，在全国范围内持续的工作增长方面相对良好。但是，在卫生保健员工队伍中缺乏足够的多样性已成为解决种族和少数民族人口中卫生和福祉扩大的种族/种族差异的主要问题。适当的劳动力发展培训和社区工作者，初中学者和本科生的教育可以在解决这些问题方面发挥关键作用。该中心的研究教育和培训核心的创新目标是通过在大学和社区站点建立技能和解决健康差异的社区伙伴关系来增加健康差异研究员工。该中心将积极招募最有前途的候选人参加这些计划，评估计划效率，并实施任何必要的改进，以最大程度地培训下一代健康差异研究人员，临床医生和政策制定者的成功。由于健康差异研究本质上是多学科和以社区为重点的，因此我们的计划强调了团队科学和基于社区，社区知情和社区驱动的研究的原则。与中心本身一样，该核心基于其前身中心，加州大学洛杉矶分校研究，教育，培训和战略少数民族健康差异的进步。我们的总体目标是帮助实现中心的使命；消除我们多元化洛杉矶社区的健康差异整个国家。
