[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS q9ER0x8G. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We sought to determine whether a community-based initiative designed to reduce cancer disparities among Pacific Islanders in Southern California increased communications between community-based organizations and university researchers. Methods. We conducted network analysis among 11 community-based organizations (CBOs) and 5 universities by interviewing 91 and 56 members of these organizations, respectively, at 2 points in time. We estimated random effects probit regression and stochastic actor-oriented network dynamic models. Results. We found that, during the 2-year study period, CBOs increased their connectedness with one another (b=0.44 ; P<. and to the universities p but that university researchers did not increase their connectedness each other or cbos. conclusions. cancer awareness education access services are low among pacific island groups this study provides an initial attempt reduce these disparities. community-based initiatives can strengthen a cbo network creating potential for increased community-informed research improved community resources.>
