DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite the rapid growth of Chinese populations, we have the most rudimentary understanding of many health disparities issues facing the US Chinese older adults. Prior local level needs assessment in Chinese communities indicate there are marked gaps in our scientific knowledge on the issues of intergenerational relationships, cultural expectations of aging, depression, suicide, social isolation, and elder mistreatment (elder abuse, neglect, financial exploitation and self-neglect). These marked health disparities are further exacerbated by the linguistic and cultural complexities when dealing with these issues as well as the inadequate community support necessary to empower the Chinese community to be fully engaged as equal partners in research. These impediments necessitate a deeper understanding broader contextual factors associated with these conditions, through the development of sustainable community-academic partnership and the reciprocal transfer of expertise to improve the health of the Chinese population. Accordingly, we will leverage a comprehensive model of community-based participatory research (CBPR) to examine the cross sectional associations between intergenerational relationships and health and wellbeing of Chinese older adults. More specifically, we aim to examine the cross sectional association between quality and expectations of the filial relationships with the perception of stress and social isolation; to examine the intergenerational discordance, conflict, and mistreatment with respect to their health and wellbeing; and to examine the associations among intergenerational solidarity, frailty and stress and social isolation. Improved understanding of these associations could improve our understanding of key contextual factors that may contribute to future prevention and intervention strategies to improve health and wellbeing of Chinese older adults. To achieve these objectives, a bilingual and bicultural principal investigator and an experienced interdisciplinary team will build on our NIH funded CBPR projects to collaborate with Chicago Chinese community groups. The findings from this proposal could inform the successful conduct of future research to improve health and wellbeing among US Chinese older adults.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管中国人口快速增长，但我们对美国华裔老年人面临的许多健康差异问题只有最基本的了解。此前对华人社区地方层面的需求评估表明，我们在代际关系、老龄化文化期望、抑郁、自杀、社会孤立和虐待老年人（虐待老人、忽视、经济剥削和自我忽视）等问题上的科学知识存在显着差距。由于处理这些问题时语言和文化的复杂性，以及华人社区作为平等伙伴充分参与研究所需的社区支持不足，进一步加剧了这些明显的健康差异。这些障碍需要通过发展可持续的社区学术伙伴关系和相互转让专业知识来更深入地了解与这些条件相关的更广泛的背景因素，以改善中国人口的健康。 因此，我们将利用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）的综合模型来研究代际关系与中国老年人的健康和福祉之间的横截面关联。更具体地说，我们的目的是研究孝顺关系的质量和期望与压力和社会孤立感之间的横截面关联；审查代际间的不和谐、冲突和虐待及其健康和福祉；并研究代际团结、脆弱、压力和社会孤立之间的关联。加深对这些关联的理解可以提高我们对关键背景因素的理解，这些因素可能有助于未来的预防和干预策略，以改善中国老年人的健康和福祉。为了实现这些目标，双语和双文化的首席研究员和经验丰富的跨学科团队将在 NIH 资助的 CBPR 项目的基础上与芝加哥华人社区团体合作。该提案的研究结果可以为未来成功开展改善美籍华裔老年人健康和福祉的研究提供参考。
