AppalTRuST Community Outreach and Participant Engagement Core

摘要-社区外展和参与者参与(COP)核心 社区外联和参与者参与(COPE)核心将招聘和保留AppalTRuST 阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州(KY)2,000名成年人(18岁以上)的队列，包括a)基于地址的概率 1,000名参与者的样本(PS)；以及b)1,000名参与者的基于配额的非概率样本(NPS)。 生物统计和信息学核心(BIC)将使用统计方法将它们结合起来。项目1将使用 完整的AppalTRuST队列(N=2,000)，提供了足够的样本来获取烟草使用的估计 在感兴趣的子群(例如，年轻人)中随时间推移的行为(例如，启动、切换、转变) 成年人、烟草使用者)。项目2(n=308，年龄18-24岁)和项目3(n=473名吸烟者，21岁以上)将抽签 从队列来的。所有项目、试点项目和TCORS合作伙伴都可以通过我们的 AppalTRuST数据仓库。 使用已建立的农村/城市分类法，我们选择了组成农村的不同类型的县 5个县的集水区和3个城市周边(即中小城镇)的集水区 县，使项目能够评估农村对结果的背景和个人层面的影响，加强 创新和我们告知更公平的FDA法规的能力。COPE的目标是：(1)发展和 实施因地制宜的社区参与外展活动，以促进参与 AppalTRuST队列；(2)为AppalTRuST实施战略征聘和基线数据收集 编队(项目1)，并招募到其他项目和试点研究中；(3)实施战略保留 战略和管理为期6个月的跟踪调查；以及(4)将AppalTRuST研究结果传播到 对社区的持续支持和留住。 COPE将与两个社区咨询委员会(每个委员会一个)共同设计社区外展活动 集水区)使用为阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州量身定做的宣传材料，这些材料被战略性地传播到 感兴趣的亚群(例如，烟草使用者)。COPE将招聘、培训和监督当地现场工作人员，以招聘和 将参与者登记到AppalTRuST队列中，并管理6个月跟踪调查的完成。队列 参与者将完成3到8个调查，具体取决于项目1的注册时间。多个策略将 最大限度地留住员工，包括我们的社区外展活动和参与者之间的每月联系 和现场工作人员。我们的社区传播计划将报告AppalTRuST研究结果以支持 社区支持和队列保留。COPE实施的创新方法将支持 AppalTRuST在消除农村烟草使用行为、营销和影响分析方面的关键知识差距 以帮助形成更公平的FDA法规。

ABSTRACT – COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PARTICIPANT ENGAGEMENT (COPE) CORE The Community Outreach and Participant Engagement (COPE) Core will recruit and retain the AppalTRuST Cohort of 2,000 adults (ages 18+) in Appalachian Kentucky (KY) including a) an address-based probability sample (PS) of 1,000 participants; and b) a quota-based non-probability sample (NPS) of 1,000 participants. The Biostatistics and Informatics Core (BIC) will use statistical methods to combine them. Project 1 will use the full AppalTRuST Cohort (N=2,000), providing an adequate sample to capture estimates of tobacco use behaviors (e.g., initiation, switching, transitions) over time among subpopulations of interest (e.g., young adults, tobacco users). Project 2 (n=308, ages 18-24) and Project 3 (n=473 tobacco users, ages 21+) will draw from the Cohort. All projects, pilots, and TCORS partners will have access to the Cohort data through our AppalTRuST Data Warehouse. Using established rural/urban taxonomies, we selected heterogeneous counties that make up a rural catchment of 5 counties and a peri-urban (i.e., intermediate and smaller cities and towns) catchment of 3 counties, enabling projects to assess contextual- and individual-level effects of rurality on outcomes, enhancing innovation and our ability to inform more equitable FDA regulations. COPE Aims are to: (1) develop and implement a culturally tailored community-engaged outreach campaign to promote participation in the AppalTRuST Cohort; (2) implement strategic recruitment and baseline data collection for the AppalTRuST Cohort (Project 1) and recruitment into the other projects and pilot studies; (3) implement strategic retention strategies and administer 6-month follow-up surveys; and (4) disseminate AppalTRuST research findings to the community to sustain support and retention. COPE will co-design a community outreach campaign with two community advisory boards (one per catchment) with promotional materials tailored for Appalachian KY that are strategically disseminated to reach subpopulations of interest (e.g., tobacco users). COPE will hire, train, and monitor local field staff to recruit and enroll participants into the AppalTRuST Cohort and manage completion of 6-month follow-up surveys. Cohort participants will complete 3 to 8 surveys, depending on time of enrollment in Project 1. Multiple strategies will maximize retention, including our community outreach campaign and monthly contact between participants and field staff. Our community dissemination plan will report back AppalTRuST study findings to sustain community support and Cohort retention. The innovative approaches implemented by COPE will support AppalTRuST in closing a critical knowledge gap in rural tobacco use behaviors, marketing, and impact analysis to help shape more equitable FDA regulations.
