Outreach, Recruitment and Education Core

外联、征聘和教育核心摘要 耶鲁大学发展研究中心的外联、招聘和教育核心(外联核心)将协助 临床核心：招募临床人员，这将通过与 一般公众和医疗保健专业人员和服务提供者。鉴于临床核心将专注于 关于从横跨整个研究群体的受试者中收集生物标本和其他研究材料 为应对阿尔茨海默病和其他痴呆症的持续存在，外联核心将需要促进 招募的不仅是有症状的病人，还有没有症状的家庭成员。教育服务将 通过与康涅狄格州阿尔茨海默氏症协会的长期合作向公众提供 第二章。外联核心的一个关键作用将是消除少数群体参与研究的障碍，并 将教育项目扩展到不同种族和民族的受众。由于耶鲁大学的科学焦点 ADRC包括细胞生物学、翻译神经科学的整合和生物标记物研究，特别是 教育需要在神经科学教育中。AIM 1将协助临床核心中心招收 约500名受试者将进入核心人群，参与五项诊断研究 关于整个阿尔茨海默病(从临床前到痴呆)的分类，以及非阿尔茨海默病和正常 控制。AIM 2将为公众提供有关AD和相关障碍的教育服务。目标3将 改善少数群体接触和少数群体研究参与。我们将达到18%的少数人参与 与国家人口统计数据相称。最近对这一倡议的一个重要补充是文化 大使计划。AIM 4将改善对卫生保健专业人员的教育服务和服务 供应商。目标5将加强与AD相关的教学和研究培训。外展的一个基本目标 核心是向所有级别的新的和未来的研究人员介绍AD和可用的研究机会 通过ADRC。

SUMMARY OF THE OUTREACH, RECRUITMENT AND EDUCATION CORE The Outreach, Recruitment and Education Core (Outreach Core) of the Yale ADRC will assist the Clinical Core in the recruitment of a clinical population, which will be accomplished through communication with the general public and health care professionals and service providers. Given that the Clinical Core will focus on the collection of biospecimens and other research materials from a subject population spanning the full continuum of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias, the Outreach Core will need to facilitate the recruitment of not only symptomatic patients, but also asymptomatic family members. Educational services will be provided to the public through a long-standing collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association, Connecticut Chapter. A key role of the Outreach Core will be to remove barriers to minority research participation and to extend education programs to a racially and ethnically diverse audience. Since scientific focuses of the Yale ADRC include cell biology, the integration of translational neuroscience, and biomarker studies, a particular educational need is in neuroscience education. Aim 1 will assist the Clinical Core in the enrollment of approximately 500 subjects who will enter the Core Population for participation in research in five diagnostic categories on the full continuum of AD (from preclinical to dementia), as well as non-AD dementias and normal controls. Aim 2 will provide educational services for the public about AD and related disorders. Aim 3 will improve minority outreach and minority research participation. We will attain 18% minority participation commensurate with national demographics. A vital recent addition to this initiative is the Cultural Ambassadors program. Aim 4 will improve educational services for health care professionals and service providers. Aim 5 will enhance didactic and research training related to AD. An essential aim of the Outreach Core is to introduce new and future researchers at all levels to AD and the research opportunities available through the ADRC.
