Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD) Legacy Study - Collaboratin

项目描述：糖尿病是美国第五大死亡原因，预计从1995年到2025年，其发病率将增加42%。糖尿病还导致发病率上升，每年的总成本估计为1320亿美元。将研究转化为糖尿病的行动（TRIAD）研究使用了一个多站点协作模型来检查系统和患者层面因素在管理式医疗环境中糖尿病护理中的作用。这种模式已经成功地发表了60多篇同行评议的出版物，促进了公众对这些地区糖尿病护理的理解。在最初的三位一体研究期间，这些合作中心之间的合作一直由一个协调中心促进。自2001年以来，UMDNJ主办了三合会研究协调中心。目的：我们建议在三合会遗留研究期间继续担任该项目的协调中心，并继续促进和协调六个合作中心中三合会研究人员之间正在进行的合作关系。方法：在三年的遗留期内，我们将继续提供协调服务，同时重点发展TRIAD的能力，以使用新的方法和途径促进合作。在此期间，我们将协调三合会遗留出版物和演示委员会的一次面对面会议和六次电话/视频会议，同时继续更新和维护三合会网站的内容和功能（包括公众部分和仅供调查人员使用的部分）。此外，我们将继续促进工作组和论文写作会议，包括来自多个合作中心的研究人员。结果：TRIAD遗留研究期间的多中心合作的结果预计将在18至36个基于TRIAD的同行评议出版物之间。益处：传播这些来自TRIAD研究的额外发现可能有助于提高管理式护理机构对糖尿病患者的护理质量。

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death in the US and is predicted to increase in incidence by42% from 1995 to 2025. Diabetes also contributes to increased rates of morbidity with overall estimated costs of $132 billion annually. The Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD) study has used a multi-site collaborative model to examine the role of system- and patient-level factors on diabetes care in managed care settings. This model has successfully produced over 60 peer-reviewed publications contributing to public understanding of diabetes care in these settings. Throughout the initial TRIAD study period the collaboration between these Collaborating Centers has been facilitated by a Coordinating Center. Since 2001 UMDNJ has hosted the TRIAD Study Coordinating Center. Purpose: We propose to continue to serve as the Coordinating Center for this project during the TRIAD Legacy Study period and to continue to facilitate and coordinate the ongoing collaborative relationships between TRIAD investigators at each of the six Collaborating Centers. Methods: During the three-year legacy period we will continue to provide coordination services while focusing on developing TRIAD capacities to use new methods and approaches for facilitating collaboration. During this period we will coordinate and staff one in-person and six telephone/videoconference meetings of the TRIAD Legacy Publications and Presentations committee while continuing to update and maintain the content and functionality of the TRIAD websites (both public and investigator only sections). In addition, we will continue to facilitate working group and paper writing meetings that involve investigators from multiple Collaborating Centers. Outcomes: The results of this multi-center collaboration in the TRIAD Legacy Study period are expected to be between 18 and 36 additional TRIAD-based peer reviewed publications. Benefit: Dissemination of these additional findings from the TRIAD study may inform efforts to improve the quality of care provided in managed care settings to patients with diabetes.
