COMMUNITY LIAISON CORE

CADC社区联络核心(CLC)的任务是继续扩大老年少数民族成年人在针对这些人口的健康差距的研究中的作用。CLC通过提供必要的基础设施、专业知识、持续测试、改进招募方法以及传播基于社区的研究方法和知识，提高了开展少数群体老龄化研究的能力。在研究项目的所有阶段与关键的社区代表合作是促进少数群体招募和留住以及开展更符合社区需求的研究的有效手段 需要，更多地包容社区观点，并可能减少健康差距。学术界-社区伙伴关系的可持续性和支持社区参与研究所需的基础设施仍然是重要问题。在过去九年中，儿童权利委员会建立并维护了一个以社区和信仰为基础的基础设施，以满足少数族裔老年人的健康需求。《中图法》是一个指挥中心，开展研究活动，旨在加强 促进老年少数群体成年人参与研究，主要是通过向非洲复兴开发中心学者和加州大学旧金山分校的其他研究人员提供招募科学和社区研究能力建设方面的技术专门知识，以增加少数群体在其研究中的入学人数。在接下来的5年里，该中心将致力于：1)向CADC学者提供招募和社区能力建设方面的方法专门知识和培训，以加强少数民族社区对研究的参与；2)保持 与社区和宗教组织建立协作基础设施，继续为少数群体老年人参与研究提供入口和谈判途径；以及3)传播关于最先进的招募和保留方法、社区研究活动能力建设以及与老年少数群体成年人有关的健康差距研究成果的信息。2008年，中共中央将主办一次社区研讨会，以传播影响这些社区的老年少数群体成年人的研究成果。CLC将继续为研究人员、卫生从业者和社区成员提供关键的技术和培训支持，以促进社区参与相互尊重和有益的研究，并寻求消除不同老年人之间的健康差距。

The mission of the CADC Community Liaison Core (CLC) is to continue to expand the roles of older minority adults in research targeting health disparities in these populations. CLC improves the capacity to conduct minority aging research by providing the necessary infrastructure, expertise, continued testing refinement of recruitment methods, and dissemination of community-based research methods and knowledge. Collaborating with key community representatives in all phases of a research project is an effective means of enhancing minority recruitment and retention, and conducting research that is more responsive to community needs, more inclusive of community perspectives and may reduce health disparities. Sustainability of academic-community partnerships and the infrastructure needed to support community involvement in research continue to be important issues. During the past nine years, the CLC has established and maintained a community- and faith-based infrastructure that is responsive to the health needs of older minority adults. The CLC serves as a command center for research activities designed to enhance the participation of older minority adults in research, primarily by providing technical expertise on the science of recruitment and community capacity building for research to CADC Scholars and other UCSF researchers seeking to increase minority enrollment in their studies. Over the next 5 years the CLC will work to: 1) provide CADC Scholars with methodological expertise and training in the science of recruitment and community capacity building to enhance ethnic community participation in research; 2) maintain a collaborative infrastructure with community and faith-based organizations to continue to provide entree and negotiate access to older minority adults for participation in research; and 3) disseminate information on state-of-the art recruitment and retention methods, community capacity building for research activities, and results-of health disparities research pertaining to older minority adults. In 2008, the CLC will host a community symposium to disseminate research findings that affect older minority adults from these communities. The CLC will continue to provide critical technical and training support to researchers, health practitioners, and community members to promote community participation in research that is mutually respectful and beneficial, and seeks to eliminate health disparities among diverse older adults.
