目的：有证据表明，健康的生活方式可能有助于保持认知健康。预防研究中心健康老龄化研究网络由9所大学与其社区以及疾病控制和预防中心合作组成，该网络从2005年开始实施一项多年研究项目，以了解如何将这方面的知识转化为公共卫生干预措施。设计和方法：本文概述了研究的目的、设计、方法和过程。我们查阅了有关促进认知健康的文献，召集了一次认知健康和公共卫生干预方面的专家会议，确定了研究问题，制定了共同的焦点小组协议和调查，建立了质量控制和质量保证流程，进行了焦点小组讨论，并分析了结果数据。结果：我们在2005-2007年进行了55个焦点小组，共有450名参与者，并在2007-2008年进行了20个焦点小组和深度访谈。焦点小组使用英语、西班牙语、普通话、粤语和越南语，包括非洲裔美国人、美洲印第安人、亚裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、非西班牙裔白人、医生和其他卫生从业人员、农村和城市居民、照顾有认知障碍的家人或朋友的个人以及认知障碍个人。启示：这些数据为设计公共卫生干预措施以促进不同人群的认知健康提供了丰富的机会。
Purpose:Evidence suggests that healthy lifestyles may help maintain cognitive health. The Prevention Research Centers Healthy Aging Research Network, 9 universities collaborating with their communities and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is conducting a multiyear research project, begun in 2005, to understand how to translate this knowledge into public health interventions.Design and Methods:This article provides an overview of the study purpose, design, methods, and processes. We examined the literature on promoting cognitive health, convened a meeting of experts in cognitive health and public health interventions, identified research questions, developed a common focus group protocol and survey, established quality control and quality assurance processes, conducted focus groups, and analyzed the resulting data.Results:We conducted 55 focus groups with 450 participants in 2005–2007, and an additional 20 focus groups and in-depth interviews in 2007-2008. Focus groups were in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese, with African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, Hispanics, non-Hispanic Whites, physicians and other health practitioners, rural and urban residents, individuals caring for family or friends with cognitive impairment, and cognitively impaired individuals.Implications:The data provide a wealth of opportunities for designing public health interventions to promote cognitive health in diverse populations.
