ABSTRACT There is no shortage of innovative ideas for behavioral interventions to improve health care delivery in the United States. Health care delivery reform has the potential to dramatically improve the health and health care experience. This is especially true for the aging population who interact with the health care system more frequently and suffer some of the gravest health problems. However, too little is known about which interventions could be effective for improving the health of these individuals. This proposal seeks to identify, fund, and support low-cost, high-impact trials of behavioral interventions for mid-life and older people. The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), founded in 2003, is a network of more than 165 affiliated professors at over 55 universities, united by their use of randomized evaluations to answer critical policy questions. J-PAL North America (NA) was launched at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2013 by Amy Finkelstein (MIT) and Lawrence Katz (Harvard) to apply the J-PAL approach to the region. J-PAL NA’s Health Care Delivery Initiative (HCDI) focuses on catalyzing high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to test how best to improve health care delivery. We propose to leverage this foundation to spur and support RCTs to test behavioral interventions to improve health care delivery and health outcomes for older adults. The MIT Roybal Center will support two pilots in its first year, and will select additional pilot projects in Years 2-5 through a rigorous peer review process. Each of these projects will be supported by (i) the Management and Administrative Core, which will provide overall leadership and coordination for the Center and (ii) the Pilot Core. The Pilot Core will support project development activities to identify promising research projects, coordinate selection of the most promising pilots for funding, support funded pilots, and create a sustained behavioral intervention development program to improve health outcomes for older adults.

抽象的 在改善医疗保健服务方面，不乏行为干预的创新理念。 美国。医疗保健服务改革有可能显着改善健康和医疗保健 经验。对于与医疗保健系统互动更多的老龄化人口来说尤其如此 经常出现并遭受一些最严重的健康问题。然而，人们对其中的了解还太少 干预措施可以有效改善这些人的健康。该提案旨在确定， 资助并支持针对中年和老年人的低成本、高影响力的行为干预试验。 安利捷贫困行动实验室 (J-PAL) 成立于 2003 年，是一个由超过 165 个附属机构组成的网络 超过 55 所大学的教授通过随机评估来回答关键政策 问题。 J-PAL 北美 (NA) 于 2017 年在麻省理工学院 (MIT) 推出 2013 年，艾米·芬克尔斯坦（麻省理工学院）和劳伦斯·卡茨（哈佛大学）将 J-PAL 方法应用于该地区。 J-PAL NA 的医疗保健服务计划 (HCDI) 专注于促进高质量的随机对照试验 （随机对照试验）来测试如何最好地改善医疗保健服务。我们建议利用这一基础来刺激和 支持随机对照试验来测试行为干预措施，以改善老年人的医疗保健服务和健康结果 成年人。麻省理工学院皇家中心将在第一年支持两个试点项目，并将在 第 2-5 年通过严格的同行评审流程。 这些项目中的每一个都将得到 (i) 管理和行政核心的支持，该核心将提供 中心和 (ii) 试点核心的全面领导和协调。试点核心将支持项目 开展活动，以确定有前途的研究项目，协调最有前途的试点的选择 寻求资金，支持资助的试点，并制定持续的行为干预发展计划 改善老年人的健康状况。
