摘要
Despite several ambitious national health initiatives to eliminate health disparities, spanning more than 4 decades, health disparities remain pervasive in the United States. In an attempt to bend the curve in disparities elimination, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) issued a funding opportunity on Disparities Elimination through Coordinated Interventions to Prevent and Control Heart and Lung Disease Risk (DECIPHeR) in March 2019. Seven implementation research centers and 1 research coordinating center were funded in September 2020 to plan, develop, and test effective implementation strategies for eliminating disparities in heart and lung disease risk. In the 16 articles presented in this issue of Ethnicity & Disease, the DECIPHeR Alliance investigators and their NHLBI program staff address the work accomplished in the first phase of this biphasic research endeavor. Included in the collection are an article on important lessons learned during technical assistance sessions designed to ensure scientific rigor in clinical study designs, and 2 examples of clinical study process articles. Several articles show the diversity of clinical and public health settings addressed including schools, faith-based settings, federally qualified health centers, and other safety net clinics. All strategies for eliminating disparities tackle a cardiovascular or pulmonary disease and related risk factors. In an additional article, NHLBI program staff address expectations in phase 2 of the DECIPHeR program, strategies to ensure feasibility of scaling and spreading promising strategies identified, and opportunities for translating the DECIPHeR research model to other chronic diseases for the elimination of related health disparities.
