Commumity Liaison and Recruitment Core

摘要：社区联络与接待核心 社区联络和招聘核心（CLRC）作为密歇根中心之间的联络， 阿尔茨海默病的背景因素（MCCFAD）和底特律中部大都市的主要利益相关者 东部和北部非洲（MENA）社区和大急流城拉丁裔社区。我们提出了三 MCCFAD在招聘、保留科学和社区翻译方面的工作的主要方式。一是 将通过将我们的招聘和社区研究活动与关键的NIA联系起来，扩大我们的参与努力 资助的密歇根州老龄化中心第二，我们将积极动员社会各界参与科学研究， 传播。第三，我们将扩大我们的联络活动，与社区诊所、卫生服务提供者 和公共卫生工作者加强参与研究。支持MCCFAD推进 在阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症的研究和实践中，CLRC引领了发展， 实施和评估一个适应创新的社区参与研究方法， 健康教育和社区外展活动，总目标是加强对 招聘和保留。这些努力将与领导小组的活动密切协调， 除了密歇根城市中心之外，还有行政、研究、教育和分析核心 非裔美国人老龄化研究（MCUAAAR）和密歇根州阿尔茨海默病研究中心 （MADRC）. MCUAAAR和MADRC都建立了由非裔美国人组成的社区核心。 MCCFAD将集中精力在中东和北非地区进一步建立其研究志愿者名录， 拉丁裔社区。RVD将支持旨在：1）降低发生ADRD的风险，2） 促进对文化敏感的护理，3）解决ADRD的卫生经济学问题。社区伙伴关系 底特律大都会和大急流城加强了CLRC活动的范围和深度。CLRC具体目标 目标1：加强对中东和北非国家工作人员的外联、征聘和留用 和拉丁裔社区，以促进包容和积极参与ADRD研究;目标2：传播 招募和保留多样化和人口代表性研究的技术的科学知识 目标3：编制符合文化特点的教育材料， 社区对研究进展的反馈，并告知他们与医疗保健系统的接触。 CLRC将继续推进对影响研究不足的参与因素的了解 以及在ADRD研究中代表性不足的社区。通过让每个社区参与公平的 伙伴关系，并结合与卫生专业人员的联系，我们的目标是推进ADRD奖学金， 难以接触到的人群，以促进与ADRD差距有关的持续变化。

ABSTRACT: COMMUNITY LIAISON AND RECRUITMENT CORE The Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC) serves as a liaison between the Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s Disease (MCCFAD) and key stakeholders in the metro-Detroit Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) community and the Grand Rapids Latino community. We propose three major ways to extend MCCFAD’s work in recruitment, retention science, and community translation. First, we will expand our engagement efforts by linking our recruitment and community research activities with key NIA funded Michigan Aging Centers. Second, we will actively solicit community engagement in scientific dissemination. Third, we will expand our liaison activities to partner with community clinics, health providers and public health workers to enhance participation in research. To support MCCFAD goals of advancing research and practice in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, the CLRC leads the development, implementation and evaluation of an adapted innovative Community Based Participation Research approach to health education and community outreach activities, with an overarching goal of enhancing research in recruitment and retention. These efforts will be closely coordinated with the activities of the Leadership and Administrative, Research and Education and Analytic Cores in addition to the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research (MCUAAAR) and the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (MADRC). Both MCUAAAR and MADRC have established community cores comprised of African Americans. MCCFAD will focus efforts on further building their Research Volunteer Directory (RVD) in the MENA and Latino communities. The RVD will support research that aims to: 1) reduce risk of developing ADRD, 2) promote culturally sensitive care, and 3) address the health economics of ADRD. Community partnerships in metro Detroit and Grand Rapids enhance the reach and depth of CLRC activities. CLRC specific aims address the following: Aim 1: Enhance outreach, recruitment and retention of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Latino communities to foster inclusion and active participation in ADRD research; Aim 2: Disseminate scientific knowledge of techniques for recruiting and retaining diverse and population-representative research participants; Aim 3: Develop culturally tailored educational materials to provide the MENA and Latino communities with feedback on research advances and to inform their engagement with the healthcare system. The CLRC will continue to advance knowledge about factors affecting research participation of underserved and underrepresented communities in ADRD research. By engaging each community in an equitable partnership and incorporating links with health professionals, we aim to advance scholarship on ADRD among hard-to-reach populations to promote sustained change around relevant to ADRDs disparities.
