CORE--DEMONSTRATION AND INFORMATION DISSEMINATION

杜克老年美国人独立中心(OAIC)的示范和信息传播项目(DIDP)将翻译本提案中详细说明的干预开发研究结果，供多个消费者使用。由于我们建议的干预发展研究的多样性，每一项研究都需要独特的战略来向不同的受众传播。我们提出了一系列专门为研究我们的三个目标受众(研究人员、临床医生和管理人员以及老年人及其家人)而量身定做的传播活动。我们将与每个研究中心的科学家合作，确定该研究的目标受众的具体特点，以及内容和风格方面最有效的传播方法。下面的时间表将指导我们传播工作的内容：(1)第1年和第2年的传播工作将集中于继续传播我们以前的杜克大学OAIC的调查结果，同时规划未来的努力；(2)第3年和第4年的传播工作将完成对以前的OAIC调查结果的传播，并开始传播这里建议的研究结果；以及(3)第5年的传播工作将集中于传播拟议的所有调查结果。Deborah T.Gold博士，DIDP项目负责人，拥有丰富的OAIC经验，她之前曾担任测量核心的核心负责人和我们早期OAIC关于骨质疏松的重大干预研究的项目负责人。她参与了杜克康复中心的宣传工作，并向农村和少数民族长老传播阿尔茨海默氏症的信息。DIDP将与杜克生活中心(DCL)部分合作，DCL是一个健身和健康管理中心，旨在促进对健康问题的一级、二级和三级预防。DCL在传播方面的专业知识将与OAIC对老年人特殊需求的理解结合在一起。由于DCL目前没有针对老年人的有针对性的传播努力，这两个中心都可以从这一安排中获得巨大的好处。此外，传播努力将针对DCL无法接触到的区域和国家受众。

The Demonstration and Information Dissemination Project (DIDP) for the Duke Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) will translate the findings of the intervention-development studies detailed in this proposal for use by multiple consumers. Because of the diversity of our proposed Intervention Development Studies, each requires unique strategies for dissemination to different audiences. We propose a series of dissemination activities specifically tailored to research our three target audiences (researchers, clinicians and administrators, and older individuals and their families). In collaboration with the scientists from each IDS, we will determine the specific characteristics of that study's target audiences as well as the most effective dissemination methods for both content and style. The schedule below will guide the content of our dissemination efforts: (1) years 1 & 2 dissemination efforts will concentrate on continuing to disseminate findings from our previous Duke OAIC while planning future efforts; (2) years 3 & 4 dissemination efforts will be to finish disseminating previous OAIC findings and begin disseminating results from the studies proposed here; and (3) year 5 dissemination efforts will be concentrated on disseminating all findings from the proposed. Dr. Deborah T. Gold, Project Leader of the DIDP, has had extensive OAIC experience through her previous involvement as Core Leader of the Measurement Core and Project Leader of the major Intervention Study on osteoporosis for our earlier OAIC. She has participated in the dissemination efforts of the Duke ADRC and in the dissemination of Alzheimer's information to rural and minority elders. The DIDP will collaborate in part with the Duke Center for Living (DCL), a fitness and health management center that promotes primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of health problems. The DCL's expertise with dissemination will combine with the OAIC's understanding about the special needs of the elderly. Because the DCL currently does not have targeted dissemination efforts for older adults, both Centers can benefit tremendously from this arrangement. In addition, dissemination efforts will be aimed at the regional and national audience that the DCL does not reach.
