With the number of older adults expected to double and the proportion of people 65 and older expected to rise to 22% by 2020, it is critical to develop and test population-based approaches for large scale, effective health promotion for our aging society. This will permit evidence-based decisions as to how to deploy resources in order to have optimal impact on the health of older adults. This Administrative Core supports the operations and overall coordination of a program project dedicated to contributing to this goal by conducting a randomized, controlled trial of the Experience Corps program and its cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit impact locally and societally. This program is a senior volunteer program which places people 60 and older in meaningful roles in public elementary schools, roles designed to have high impact on childrens' outcomes; the program attracts and retains older adults, 15 hours per week, for its opportunity to give back. However, designed into the program is a health promotion program, intending to increase social, cognitive and physical activity. This proposal will, in a University-community-city collaboration, conduct a rigorous evaluation of the impact of the scaled-up program through a randomized controlled evaluation: of older volunteers to determine whether Experience Corps prevents or slows physical disability, falls and cognitive decline (Project 1); of schools, to determine if children improve academically, behaviorally and in readiness to learn as a result of the social capital offered by Experience Corps and, hence, our aging society (Project 2); of the potential mechanisms of program action on brain structure and executive function (Project 3); of program effects on social and psychological mechanisms and outcomes (Project 4); and, finally, we will conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the program, taking impact on both older adults and children into account. The work of the 5 projects and 3 supporting cores will be mutually interconnected and synergistic, and will be interdigitated through a Steering Committee and an Executive Committee operated within this Administrative Core (Core A). This Core will project coordination and interdigitation, overall organization and budget management for all Projects and cores, monitor progress and effectiveness, produce reports, organize DSMB meetings, and coordinate community relations. Overall, this program project is designed to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of Experience Corps as a social model for health promotionfor an aging society.

随着老年人的数量预计将增加一倍，65岁及以上的人口比例预计将增加一倍， 到2020年上升到22%，关键是要开发和测试基于人群的方法， 健康促进我们老龄化社会。这将允许以证据为基础决定如何部署 因此，我们需要确保我们的资源，以便对老年人的健康产生最佳影响。本行政核心支持 致力于通过以下方式实现这一目标的计划项目的运作和总体协调 对体验团计划及其成本效益进行随机对照试验， 成本效益影响当地和社会。这个项目是一个老年志愿者项目， 60岁及以上在公立小学担任有意义的角色， 儿童的成果;该计划吸引并留住老年人，每周15小时，因为它有机会 回馈社会然而，该方案的设计是一个健康促进方案，旨在增加社会， 认知和身体活动。这项建议将在大学-社区-城市的合作下， 通过随机对照评价严格评价扩大方案的影响： 老年志愿者，以确定是否经验军团防止或减缓身体残疾，福尔斯， 认知能力下降（项目1）;学校，以确定儿童是否改善学业，行为和 由于体验团提供的社会资本以及我们的老龄化社会， （项目2）;对大脑结构和执行功能的程序行动的潜在机制（项目 3）;项目对社会和心理机制和结果的影响（项目4）;最后，我们将 对该方案进行成本效益分析，同时考虑到对老年人和儿童的影响。 5个项目和3个支撑核心的工作将相互联系和协同， 通过一个指导委员会和一个执行委员会相互交叉， 核心（核心A）。这个核心将项目协调和相互交织，整体组织和预算 管理所有项目和核心，监控进度和有效性，生成报告，组织 DSMB会议，并协调社区关系。总的来说，这个项目旨在评估 体验团作为老龄化社会健康促进的社会模式的效用和有效性。
