CHIME Analysis Core (AnC)

RCMAR CHIME分析核心项目摘要 CHIME分析核心（AnC）的主要使命是提供数据收集和分析支持， RCMAR科学家和促进新的调查路线，将解决我们的主题“发展， 调整和评估干预措施，以改善少数民族老年人的健康”， RFA的两个研究目标：i）确定和制定消除健康差距的解决方案， 老年人人口不断增长中的健康不平等，以及ii）改善老年人的健康和福祉 成年人了AnC的三个具体目标是：1）提供全面的方法和统计数据 支持CHIME RCMAR科学家，包括定性数据方法（例如，焦点小组和认知 访谈）和定量数据方法，用于开发、实施、分析和传播 组织和个人行为干预，2）提供接触国家的科学分析 分析二手数据的方法和途径，以了解影响人口老龄化的因素， 3）协助RCMAR科学家使用或修改现有措施，或 开发新的行为或社会测量工具，用于中年或老年人群，特别是 社会经济地位低下或其他社会弱势群体。AnC将连接RCMAR科学家 与新的方法中心在兰德帕迪研究生院，在线UCSF实施 科学课程，以及由AnC联合主任Gery Ryan博士领导的定性数据分析课程; 这将支持针对重点领域㈠和㈡开展研究。此外，Anc 将通过以下方式为所有RCMAR科学家提供支持，以解决已确定的测量和方法问题 匹配核心和/或咨询教师与RCMAR科学家的基础上的方法论的专业知识， 教师和试点研究的需要。AnC将评估科学家在方法学方面的需求， 定期提供资源和培训机会，以满足这些需求。Anc还将提供 * 视需要协助数据管理以及统计和方案编制支助，以促进高质量的 研究中心的主题。

Project Summary for the RCMAR CHIME Analysis Core The primary mission of the CHIME analysis core (AnC) is to provide data collection and analysis support to RCMAR Scientists and to promote new lines of investigation that will address our theme of “Developing, Adapting and Evaluating Interventions to Improve the Health of Minority Elders”, which incorporates elements of two of the RFA research objectives: i) identify and develop solutions to eliminate health disparities and health inequities in the growing population of older adults, and ii) improve the health and well-being of older adults. The three specific aims of the AnC are to: 1) Provide comprehensive methodological and statistical support to CHIME RCMAR Scientists including qualitative data methods (e.g., focus groups and cognitive interviews) and quantitative data methods for developing, implementing, analyzing, and disseminating organizational and individual behavioral interventions, 2) Provide exposure to state-of-the-science analytic methods and approaches for the analysis of secondary data to understand factors that affect population aging, particularly for minorities, 3) Assist RCMAR Scientists with use or modification of existing measures, or developing new behavioral or social measurement tools for use in mid- life or elderly populations, particularly those of low socio-economic status or other societal disadvantages. The AnC will connect RCMAR Scientists with the new Methods Centers at the RAND Pardee Graduate School, the online UCSF Implementation Science Curriculum, and a qualitative data analysis course led by AnC co- director Dr. Gery Ryan; each of which will support the development of research addressing both focus areas (i) and (ii). In addition, the AnC will provide support to all RCMAR Scientists in addressing identified measurement and methods issues by matching Core and/or consulting faculty with RCMAR Scientists based on the methodologic expertise of the faculty and the needs of the pilot studies. The AnC will assess the methodological needs from scientists on a regular basis to provide resources and training opportunities to meet those needs. The AnC will also provide assistance with data management and statistical and programming support as needed to facilitate high-quality research addressing the theme of the Center.
