One of the biggest challenges facing racial health disparities research is identifying how and where to implement effective, sustainable interventions. Community-based organizations (CBOs) and community-academic partnerships are frequently utilized as vehicles to conduct community health promotion interventions without attending to the viability and sustainability of CBOs or capacity inequities among partners. Utilizing organizational empowerment theory, this paper describes an intervention designed to increase the capacity of CBOs and community-academic partnerships to implement strategies to improve community health. The Capacity Building project illustrates how capacity building interventions can help to identify community health needs, promote community empowerment, and reduce health disparities.
种族健康差异研究面临的最大挑战之一是确定如何以及在何处实施有效且可持续的干预措施。基于社区的组织（CBO）和社区-学术伙伴关系经常被用作开展社区健康促进干预措施的载体，却未关注CBO的可行性和可持续性或伙伴之间的能力不平等问题。本文运用组织赋权理论，描述了一项旨在提高CBO和社区-学术伙伴关系实施改善社区健康策略能力的干预措施。能力建设项目说明了能力建设干预措施如何有助于识别社区健康需求、促进社区赋权以及减少健康差异。
