Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement Core

(ADRD)；然而，发病率、患病率、危险因素和临床特征可能因种族和民族而异。 评估和解决这些差距是当务之急，因为非高加索种族或民族群体将弥补 到2060年，45%的美国人年龄在65岁以上。确保招聘适当多样化的研究人员 参与者是一个可怕的挑战，而ADRD的研究往往落后于这些目标。这些不足之处是 可能是由于一系列障碍的汇合，包括目标人群的“研究准备”、缺乏ADRD 知识，以及相关的耻辱。在外联招聘和聘用(ORE)核心中，我们申请 创新战略，以实现三个总体目标为中心：(1)招聘和保留明确的 研究参与者队列；(2)作为消耗品、准确和 有关ADRD诊断、管理和研究机会的文化信息；以及(3) 通过循证和经验提高代表不足群体(URG)的研究准备 外展和教育。我们通过我们的网站共享ADRD教育信息和资源 (www.uwadrc.org)、双年度杂志《维度》和每月电子通讯。在密歇根大学 华盛顿阿尔茨海默氏症研究中心，我们特别关注美国印第安人/阿拉斯加 原生(AI/AN)参与，这是ADRD研究工作中历史上被严重忽视的URG。通过高度的 与华盛顿州立大学原生健康伙伴关系(P4NH)成功合作，我们将 继续提高人工智能/人工智能长者的研究准备，重点是促进脑捐赠。我们 将把这些努力扩展到其他URG，以便让当地有色人种社区参与进来。我们强调 与我们的社区合作伙伴建立相互尊重的双向关系，同时进行最严格的科学研究 与他们的优先事项和对研究的舒适性保持一致。我们按照知识交流的模式运作，而且 倡导以实力为基础的重组观点，通过强调社会和认知来对抗污名 ADRD中保留的函数。

(ADRD); however, incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and clinical features can vary by race and ethnicity. Evaluating and addressing these disparities is urgent since non-Caucasian racial or ethnic groups will make up 45% of Americans ages 65+ by the year 2060. Ensuring recruitment of appropriately diverse research participants is a formidable challenge, and ADRD studies often lag behind such goals. These shortfalls are likely due to a confluence of barriers, including “research readiness” of target populations, lack of ADRD knowledge, and associated stigma. In the Outreach Recruitment and Engagement (ORE) Core, we apply innovative strategies to achieve three overarching goals centered on (1) recruiting and retaining a well-defined cohort of research participants; (2) serving as the primary regional resource for consumable, accurate, and culturally-informed information on ADRD diagnosis, management, and research opportunities; and (3) increasing research readiness of underrepresented groups (URGs) through evidence- and experienced-based outreach and education. We share ADRD educational information and resources via our website (www.uwadrc.org), bi-annual magazine Dimensions, and monthly e-Newsletter. At the University of Washington Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, we have a special focus on American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) engagement, a historically gravely overlooked URG in ADRD research efforts. Through a highly successful collaboration with Partnerships for Native Health (P4NH) at Washington State University, we will continue to improve research readiness among AI/AN elders, with emphasis on promoting brain donation. We will expand these efforts to other URGs in order to engage the local communities of color. We emphasize respectful, bidirectional relationships with our community partners while conducting the most rigorous science aligned with their priorities and comfort with research. We operate on the model of knowledge exchange, and advocate a strength-based reframing perspective to counter stigma by emphasizing social and cognitive functions that are spared in ADRD.
