Triad Project

The focus in establishing the Teamwork in Research and Intervention to Alleviate Disparities (TRIAD) Project is to develop and enhance research infrastructure and partnerships to address major health disparities of African-Americans, Hispanics and low-income children and adults in central North Carolina. Of utmost concern is that the disparity populations mirror and exceed national (HP 2010) and state (Healthy North Carolinians 2010) targets for HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and diabetes and those related risk factors.

The specific aims of the TRIAD Project are:

Develop and enhance the infrastructure to support health disparity research
Increase the number and capabilities of health disparity researchers who focus on high-risk groups and high priority topics, especially those from ethnic or racial minorities and women
Develop partnerships that address health disparities in the populations of interest.

The TRIAD Project is housed in the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Nursing Research Office and coordination is through one Core (Administrative) and three components (Training, Community Outreach and Pilot Research). Components are interdisciplinary/interagency, interactive and synergistic to ensure comprehensive efforts to address HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and their related risk factors.

This project is a collaboration between the School of Nursing, Public Health Education, Exercise and Sport Science, Anthropology, Mathematics, Nutrition, the Institute for Health, Science and Society, the Center for New North Carolinians, the Center for Youth, Family and Community Partnerships, the Moses Cone Heart Center, the Guilford County School System and the HealthServe Medical Clinics.

The anticipated short-term outcome is an increased quality and quantity of prevention and risk avoidance research, training and outreach efforts to eliminate health disparities. The overarching goal is to assist the community, region and state in meeting the critical health needs of a rapidly increasing, diverse citizenry in a culturally and linguistically competent manner through research, training and outreach.
