Comprehensive multisector, multilevel approaches are needed to address childhood obesity. This article introduces the structure of a multidisciplinary team approach used to support and guide the multisite, multisector interventions implemented as part of the Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration (CORD) project. This article will describe the function, roles, and lessons learned from the CDC-CORD approach to project management.
The CORD project works across multisectors and multilevels in three demonstration communities. Working with principal investigators and their research teams who are engaging multiple stakeholder groups, including community organizations, schools and child care centers, health departments, and healthcare providers, can be a complex endeavor. To best support the community-based research project, scientific and programmatic expertise in a wide range of areas was required. The team was configured based on the skill sets needed to interact with the various levels of staff working with the project.
By thoughtful development of the team and processes, an efficient system for supporting the multisite, multisector intervention project sites was developed. The team approach will be formally evaluated at the end of the project period.
应对儿童肥胖问题需要采取全面的多部门、多层次方法。本文介绍了一种多学科团队方法的架构，该方法用于支持和指导作为儿童肥胖研究示范（CORD）项目一部分实施的多地点、多部门干预措施。本文将描述疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）-CORD项目管理方法的功能、作用及经验教训。
CORD项目在三个示范社区的多部门和多层次开展工作。与主要研究者及其研究团队合作，这些团队要与包括社区组织、学校、儿童保育中心、卫生部门和医疗服务提供者在内的多个利益相关群体打交道，这可能是一项复杂的工作。为了最好地支持基于社区的研究项目，需要广泛领域的科学和项目专业知识。该团队是根据与参与该项目的各级工作人员互动所需的技能组合来组建的。
通过精心组建团队和制定流程，开发出了一个支持多地点、多部门干预项目点的高效系统。该团队方法将在项目期结束时进行正式评估。
