项目摘要

DESCRIPTION: The proposed dissertation will examine acculturation among 252 older African-Americans living in the community in Tampa, FL as it relates to quality of life (QOL). The major hypothesis is that while more traditional African-Americans will have a poorer objective QOL, they will have a better subjective QOL, even after adjustment for objective QOL. Specific aims are: (1) to investigate the association between acculturation and objective QOL in this population; (2) to examine the relation of acculturation to subjective QOL adjusting for objective QOL; (3) to test whether persons who are more acculturated have a greater concordance between objective and subjective QOL compared with more traditional African-Americans; (4) to compare data on QOL between the proposed study and an ongoing study of 500 community-dwelling Caucasians who are part of an ongoing study that is methodologically standardized to the current study; and (5) to generate hypotheses for future research. Participants for the study will be recruited from randomly selected U.S. Census blocks in two selected tracts in Hillsborough County, FL (#10 and 18). A community campaign will advertise the study to inform the community before contacting potential participants. In each tract, a study census will enumerate all persons aged 60-84 living in the selected blocks, and 63 persons aged 60-74 and aged 75-84 will be selected for study in each tract. Participants will be asked to take part in two 2-hour in-person interviews, as well as complete a self-administered questionnaire between interview visits. The U.S. African-American population has been shown to have poorer overall objective health indicators compared with Caucasians. Despite this, they rate their satisfaction with life higher than might be expected. In order to understand and eventually maximize quality of life in older African-Americans, it is essential to identify the cultural factors that predict these outcomes. This has not been reported previously in the literature, and is critical to explore as the elderly African-American population grows.

描述：拟议的论文将研究252之间的适应性居住在佛罗里达州坦帕市社区中的年长的非洲裔美国人到生活质量（QOL）。主要的假设是，虽然更多传统的非洲裔美国人的客观质量较差，他们将即使对目标QOL进行了调整，具有更好的主观QOL。具体目的是：（1）调查适应性之间的关联和该人群中的客观质量；（2）检查对客观QOL的主观QOL调整的适应；（3）测试更适应的人是否在客观和主观的QoL与更传统的非裔美国人；（4）在拟议的研究和正在进行的对500名社区居住高加索人的研究，这些高加索人是正在进行的研究是从方法上标准化为当前研究的；（5）生成未来研究的假设。该研究的参与者将从随机选择的美国招募佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的两个选定区域的人口普查区域（＃10和 18）。社区运动将宣传这项研究以通知社区在与潜在参与者联系之前。在每个区域中，一项研究人口普查将列举所有居住在选定街区的60-84岁的人和63 年龄在60-74岁和75-84岁的人将在每个区域中选择研究。将要求参与者参加两次2小时的面对面访谈，以及在面试之间完成自我管理的问卷访问。美国非裔美国人人口的总体总体较差客观健康指标与高加索人相比。尽管如此，他们对他们对生活的满意度比预期的要高。为了了解并最终最大化年长的生活质量非裔美国人，必须确定文化因素预测这些结果。以前尚未在文学，至关重要的是探索作为非裔美国人人口增长。
