CORE--DATA MANAGEMENT /STATISTICAL

数据管理/统计核心的目标是加强制定和测试旨在提高或保持老年人独立所需能力的干预措施。建议通过培养一批在生物统计和计算方面具有丰富经验的专业人员来实现这一核心目标。核心小组将参与一系列活动，包括就研究方法咨询中心调查人员、提供数据管理服务和培训。核心的具体目标是：1.建立核心数据电池的综合数据管理结构，并促进中心各组成部分之间数据收集、分析和通信的标准化。2.协助将统计理论应用于设计研究和进行统计分析。3.参与编写和分发项目报告和出版物。数据管理/统计核心是以REACH联盟现有的数据管理和统计核心为蓝本的。在努力实现其具体目标的过程中，核心的结构是在数据管理和分析责任与中心所有成员之间的沟通要求之间取得平衡。数据管理统计核心的活动将包括：(A)协助设计数据表格并确定将用于收集的数据的质量控制程序；(B)为中心的核心数据单元提供数据管理；(C)就统计分析的规划、执行和解释提供咨询。

The goal of the Data Management/Statistical Core is to enhance the development and testing of interventions designed to increase or maintain abilities needed for independence of older persons. It is proposed that this core goal be achieved through creation of a time of professionals with extensive experience in biostatistics and computing. The Core team will engage in a combination of activities which include consultation with Center investigators on research methods, provision of data management services, and training. In particular, the specific aims of the Core are to: 1. Build an integrated data management structure for the core data battery, and to facilitate the standardization of data collection, analyses, and communication between the components of the Center. 2. Assist in the application of statistical theory to the design of studies and conduct of statistical analyses. 3. Participate in the preparation and dissemination of project reports and publications. The Data Management/Statistical Core is modeled on the existing Data Management and Statistical Core for the REACH consortium. In striving to reach its specific aims, the Core has been structured to balance data management and analytic responsibility with the requirement of communication between all Center members. The activities of the Data Management Statistical Core will include: a) assisting in the design of data forms and identifying quality control procedures to be used on data collected, b) providing data management for the Center's core data battery, and c) consulting on the planning, performance and interpretation of statistical analyses.
