Midwest Roybal Center for Health Promotion and Translation

描述(由申请人提供)：现有的以证据为基础的健康促进计划与少数族裔老年人的接受之间仍然存在相当大的差距。我们建议的UIC中西部罗伊巴尔健康促进和翻译中心通过加快将基本的行为和社会科学研究理论和方法转化为实际成果来解决这一差距，以改善老年人的功能和生活质量。我们将应用现有的理论在个人和社会层面上研究少数民族老年人的健康行为变化。我们将资助一些试点研究，利用跨理论的行为改变模型(普罗查斯卡和维莱特，1997)和社会认知理论(班杜拉，1989)，考察在个人层面上促进健康行为改变启动和坚持的因素，以及使用RE-AIM框架在组织和社会层面上转化循证健康行为改变干预措施所涉及的过程和结果的研究(格拉斯哥，沃格特和博尔斯，1999)。我们目前的罗伊巴尔中心将我们的范围扩大到个人层面，并扩大了中心活动的理论基础，不仅涉及到帮助个人的干预措施，还包括对循证计划成功转化为实践所涉及的因素的研究。我们拟议的更新中心通过针对老年少数族裔成年人的干预措施，建立并扩大了这项工作。我们的工作将继续以评估健康促进干预措施的RE-AIM框架为指导，以确定哪些干预措施具有最大的广泛传播潜力和成本效益。中心研究学院将包括休斯博士、普罗哈斯卡博士、巴尔迪加博士、坎贝尔博士、海勒博士和里默博士以及所有资助试点项目的首席研究员。我们还增加了四个新的学院，拉米雷斯-瓦莱斯博士，弗纳，尤里维奇博士和布赫纳博士。试点项目执行机构将在管理核心的监督下，负责完成其项目下拟议的所有活动。试点核心项目每年将向UIC、伊利诺伊大学其他校区和其他大学的教职员工和学生研究人员征集至少两项试点项目的赠款资金。执行委员会由来自UIC校区多个单位的高级研究人员组成，将指导中心的方向并监督试点项目。拟建中心的整体业绩将由一个杰出的咨询委员会指导，该委员会将包括来自不同学术、提供者、资助者、消费者和媒体利益攸关方团体的代表。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A considerable gap continues to exist between available evidence based health promotion programs and their uptake by minority older adults. Our proposed UIC Midwest Roybal Center for Health Promotion and Translation addresses this gap by accelerating the translation of basic behavioral and social science research theories and methodologies into practical outcomes to improve the functioning and quality of life of older adults. We will apply existing theory to studies of health behavior change among older minority adults at the individual and societal levels. We will fund pilot studies that examine factors that facilitate initiation and adherence to health behavior change at the individual level using the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (Prochaska & Velicer, 1997) and Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1989), as well as studies of processes and outcomes involved in translating evidence-based health behavior change interventions at the organizational and societal level using the RE-AIM framework (Glasgow, Vogt and Boles, 1999). Our current Roybal Center expanded our scope beyond the level of the individual and expanded the theoretical basis of the Center's activities to address not only interventions that assist individuals but also studies of factors involved in the successful translation of evidence-based programs into practice. Our proposed renewal Center builds on and expands this work by targeting interventions to older minority adults. Our work will continue to be guided by the RE-AIM framework for evaluating health promotion interventions to identify those that have the greatest potential for broad based dissemination and cost effectiveness. The Center Research Faculty will include Drs. Hughes, Prohaska, Baldyga, Campbell, Heller, and Rimmerand all of the Principal Investigators of funded pilot projects. We have also added four new Faculty, Drs. Ramirez-Valles, Furner, Jurivich and Dr. Buchner at UIUC. The Pilot Pis will be responsible for completing all activities proposed under their projects, under the oversight of the Management Core. The Pilot Core will provide grant funding for a minimum of two pilots per year, solicited from faculty and student researchers at UIC, other University of Illinois campuses, and other Universities as appropriate. The Executive Committee, made up of senior researchers from multiple units on the UIC campus, will guide the direction of the Center and oversee the pilot projects. The overall performance of the proposed Center will be guided by a distinguished Advisory Committee that will include representatives from diverse academic, provider, funder, consumer, and media stakeholder groups.
