Community Liason and Recruitment Core

干预措施的公共卫生影响往往没有实现，因为利益攸关方没有参与， 制定针对他们的预防战略或干预措施。约翰霍普金斯大学的研究人员 十多年来，我一直处于以社区为基础的前瞻性研究方法的最前沿。 方法，CBPR促进社区学术伙伴关系，其中社区成员和/或受援国 的干预措施涉及研究的所有阶段，包括（1）确定关注的健康问题， 社区;（2）开发评估工具;（3）收集，分析和解释数据;（4）确定 如何使用数据为改善社区健康的行动提供信息;（5）创建研究设计;（6） 设计、实施和评估干预措施;（7）传播调查结果。的首要目标 社区联络和招募核心（CLRC）是与社区进行沟通和协作 各组织加强对所制定的预防战略和干预措施的翻译。 发展和维持社区合作伙伴，以及培训和参与JHAD-RCMAR科学家， 社区参与的研究将反映与其他JHAD-RCMAR核心的协作和协同工作。 具体而言，CLRC将与领导和行政核心合作， 与信仰社区和社区组织的关系，作为设计 采取干预措施，改善少数老年人在认知障碍和ADRD方面的健康差异; 确定和发展文化上适当的机制，以传播关于AD/ADRD的信息， 相关研究成果。CLRC还将在研究教育部分的指导下， 建立新的或经过调整的基于证据的干预模式，包括社区参与和未来 少数老年人的试验结果;培训RCMAR科学家，调查人员和普通消费者， 社区参与的研究，包括道德层面;并制定JHAD HBCU倡议。在 此外，CLRC将与分析核心合作，以提高 社区组织、宗教团体和初级保健从业人员参与研究， 调查的合作伙伴;以及研究ADRD相关研究中老年参与者的招募和保留， 尤其是少数老年人。通过融合“临床”和“社区”方法的特点，我们可以更好地 解决健康差距，并对老年人的健康和福祉产生重大的公共卫生影响 人口

The public health impact of interventions is often not realized because stakeholders have not been involved in the development of preventive strategies or interventions intended for them. Johns Hopkins researchers have been at the forefront of Community-Based Participatory Research methods for over a decade.4-9 As an approach, CBPR promotes community-academic partnerships in which community members and/or recipients of interventions are involved in all phases of research, including (1) identifying the health issues of concern to communities; (2) developing assessment tools; (3) collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data; (4) determining how data can be used to inform actions to improve community health; (5) creating the research designs; (6) designing, implementing, and evaluating interventions; and (7) disseminating findings. The overarching goal of the Community-Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) is to communicate and collaborate with community organizations to increase the translation of the preventive strategies and interventions that are developed. Developing and sustaining community partners, as well as training and engaging JHAD-RCMAR Scientists in community-engaged research will reflect collaborative and synergistic work with other JHAD-RCMAR Cores. Specifically, the CLRC will work with the Leadership and Administrative Core to develop collaborative relationships with communities of faith, and community-based organizations as partners in designing interventions to ameliorate health disparities in cognitive impairment and ADRD in minority older adults; and identify and develop culturally appropriate mechanisms for disseminating information about AD/ADRD and about related research results. The CLRC will also be guided by the Research Education Component to establish new or adapt evidence-based intervention models that embrace community participation and future trial results for minority older persons; train RCMAR scientists, investigators, and lay consumers about community-engaged research, including the ethical dimensions; and develop the JHAD HBCU Initiative. In addition, the CLRC will collaborate with the Analysis Core to enhance the capacity of representatives of community-based organizations, faith communities, and primary care practitioners to participate in research as partners in inquiry; and study recruitment and retention of older participants in ADRD-relevant research, particularly minority older adults. By blending features of ‘clinical’ and ‘community’ approaches, we can better address health disparities and have a significant public health impact on the health and well-being of an aging population.
