Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Center of Excellence for Cancer Research, Community Engagement/Outreach Core (CEOC)- Dr. Saleh M. M. Rahman. The mission of the CEOC is to develop, enhance, and strengthen partnerships with the Gadsden and Leon County African American communities to create a sustainable research and outreach environment for eliminating breast cancer disparities.

This mission will be accomplished by the following processes: 1) Implementing participatory research methods to engage community in sustainable breast cancer research: Using this approach, we have established partnerships with 5 community-based organizations in Gadsden and Leon Counties from the beginning of this project and we propose a series of media campaign methods, such as convening of informational meetings, mobile video shows, brochures, advertisements and information booklets targeting community and academic stakeholders. As part of our participatory approach, we already have included a key community liaison and identified three community advisors and other stakeholder who have participated actively in prioritizing the center activities, intervention and service components of the CEOC. 2) Develop, implement and evaluate theory-driven, culturally sensitive outreach activities to improve health literacy, breast cancer screening and awareness of breast cancer disparities. A combination of community, behavioral and communication theories will be used to develop culturally appropriate outreach activities. To address the issue of cultural appropriateness the center will implement a faith-based outreach and education component called
