Abstract

Project Summary- Research Methods, Measures, and Data Management Core The Research Methods, Measures, and Data Management (RMMDM) Core will advance the goal of the WashU-ACCERT center, to advance cancer control equity through community-engaged multilevel (individual, community, system, and structural) research interventions that address the impact of social determinants of health (access, affordability, availability, accessibility, accommodation, and acceptability) on adverse cancer control outcomes, through three main functions. First, we provide distinct support in design, measures, and methods for the Community Responsive Research Program (CRRP) which includes the main Social Determinants of Health intervention and community responsive projects within the Center. Second, the RMMDM Core is also responsible for supporting and administering Community Responsive Projects in the ACCERT Center. This includes engaging community partners in the selection, development, and adaptation of measures, as well as ensuring data sharing has community relevance and unintended consequences of data collection is monitored. RMMDM will work closely with the CRRP on administering community responsive projects including, solicitation of projects, review and engagement with project leaders, and reporting back on progress, lessons learned, and outcomes to community. We have also identified measures and a process to evaluate community engagement across the center which will be implemented with collaboration with the Administrative Core. Third we bring expertise in data management, data analysis methods for multilevel interventions, reporting of results, dissemination of research results through appropriate channels, and data sharing. The Aims for the Core are: 1. To provide distinct design, methods, measures, and related support for the CRRP and the SDOH multi- level trial within the Center. 2. To engage community members in the development and adaptation of measures and support and administer Community Responsive Research Program in the ACCERT Center. 3. Manage study data, analyses and prepare data summaries for scientific and community reporting, guide dissemination of results and support data sharing requirements for the CRRP and SDOH and cross center studies within our Center. Building on strengths of Siteman Cancer Center's Biostatistics and Qualitative Research Shared resource we bring rich and diverse quantitative and qualitative skills to support community driven trials.
