The Latino/a Research & Policy Center (LRPC), at the University of Colorado (UC) at Denver and Health Sciences Center built the Greater Denver Latino Cancer Prevention Network, a successful cancer prevention network, in 6 Denver metro area counties. The Network consisted of 23 Latino community-based organizations, health clinics, social service agencies, faith-based groups, and employee-based organizations; 2 migrant health clinics; and 14 scientific partners including the UC Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and the American Cancer Society. The Network focused on 5 significant cancers: breast, cervical, lung, colorectal, and prostate cancer. The Steering Committee initiated a review process for junior researchers that resulted in 5 NCI-funded pilot projects. Pilot projects were conducted with various Latino populations. The Network developed community education and health promotion projects including the bilingual outreach play The Cancer Monologues. The Network's partnership also started and held 2 annual health fairs, Dia de la Mujer Latina/Day of the Latina Woman, and annual health prevention summits. The Special Population Network (SPN) adapted and revised a clinical trials education outreach module that reached Network community partners. SPN partners recruited Latino/a students to cancer research through a6-week NCI training program held yearly at the UCHSC campus. The Network methodology of bringing together the Latino community with the scientific community increased the level of awareness of cancer in the Latino community and increased cancer research and the level of engagement of the scientific partners with the Latino community.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the chance of peer-review assignment as expected from the amount of publications in "Japanese" and "Arabic" investigators differed from that for "Other" investigators in mainstream clinical neurology journals in 2004. METHODS: Fifteen clinical neurology journals with the impact factor in 2004 greater than 2.5 and with the full list of reviewers available in public were analyzed. Thereby, "Japanese", "Arabic", and "Other" investigators were defined as those with Japanese-sounding last names, those with Arabic-sounding last names, and others. The ratio of number of reviewers to number of original articles was compared between "Japanese" and "Other" groups as well as "Arabic" and "Other" groups. In addition, we described how "Japanese" and "Arabic" investigators were assigned peer-review in Brain and Development in 2004. RESULTS: In the above-mentioned 15 clinical neurology journals, the mean ratio of number of reviewers to number of original articles was smaller in "Japanese" compared to "Other" investigators (paired t-test: df=14; t-value=6.85; p-value<0.001) but failed to demonstrate a difference in the mean ratio between "Arabic" and "Other" investigators (df=11; t-value=-0.36; p=0.7). In Brain and Development, the number of peer-reviewers relative to the amount of publications was larger in "Japanese" compared to "Other" group (Fisher's exact probability test: p-value<0.001). CONCLUSION: More "Japanese" investigators are encouraged to contribute to peer-review process in clinical neurology journals other than Brain and Development. More "Non-Japanese" investigators are encouraged to contribute to peer-review process in Brain and Development.
