CORE--EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TRANSFER CORE

教育和信息传递核心有两个主要目标。第一个中心目标是招募受试者，传播信息，并宣传广泛的ADRC研究活动和临床服务。外联工作将以英语和西班牙语完成，包括通过ADRC通讯、新的ADRC网站、与NYCARE联合出版的阿尔茨海默病协会通讯、小册子、讲座、讲习班、会议和健康博览会。信息传递活动不仅通过与ADRC调查员和临床核心的密切合作来完成，而且还通过与当地机构（如阿尔茨海默氏症协会）和西奈山其他部门和项目（如护理人员项目和老年病学部门）的广泛联盟网络来完成。与阿尔茨海默病援助中心正在进行的合作进一步使核心能够继续专门针对拉美裔人口的教育规划和外展活动

The Education and Information Transfer Core has two central aims. The first central aim is to recruit subjects, disseminate information, and publicize the wide range of ADRC research activities and clinical services. Outreach efforts will be accomplished, in both English and Spanish, through the ADRC newsletter, the new ADRC website, joint publications with NYCARE for the Alzheimer's Association Newsletter, brochures, lectures, workshops, conferences, and health fairs. Information transfer activities are accomplished not only through close collaboration with ADRC investigators and the Clinical Core, but also through a broad network of alliances with local agencies (such as the Alzheimer's Association) and other Mount Sinai departments and programs (such as the Caregiver's Program and the Department of Geriatrics). The ongoing collaboration with the Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center further allows the Core to continue educational programming and outreach that is specifically targeted to the large Hispanic community we serve. The second central aim is to provide effective educational programming regarding Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, treatment, management, and research advances and training, to a diverse audience. This audience includes staff, other healthcare professionals, medical students, residents, postdoctoral fellows, psychology interns, patients/caregivers, and the general public. This will be accomplished in several ways: through a translational lectures series to foster information sharing between clinical and basic science faculty in collaboration with the Neurobiology and Psychiatry departments; through NYCARE (the collaboration of the Education Cores of New York City's Alzheimer's Disease Centers and the New York City chapter of the Alzheimer's Association), community lectures/workshops, and CME programs. Surveys and questionnaires will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of our programs, in order that the Core may modify its activities based on feedback and needs assessment of the populations it serves.
