Recruitment and Retention Core

项目摘要--招聘和留用核心 招聘和留住核心(RRC)有三个目标：第一，招聘和聘用热情高涨的员工 2250名患有偶发性脑白质高信号的黑人、西班牙裔和白人参与者 (WMH)和认知主诉。第二，评估参与者的认知障碍程度 基线和随时间推移，以确定认知障碍的发展和病因。第三, 在整个项目期间留住这些人员，以增强这种重复措施设计的力量。 加州大学戴维斯分校是少数族裔招聘和留住方面的全国领导者，因为它致力于 社区参与性研究(CBPR)。在其28年的历史中，加州大学戴维斯分校ADRC发展了 强大的外展和招聘流程，可靠地识别、高效地筛选并明确同意 参赛者群体高度多样化。RRC将实施UCD ADRC成功的CBPR工具箱，并 创建电子工具目录，以促进精准参与并显著增强现场招聘 使用新的数字媒体宣传工具的努力。这些电子工具还将促进有效利用CORE 通过针对特定客户的兴趣定制消息传递，从而最大限度地提高社区参与度 由经验丰富的UCD工作人员和教职员工进行的市场分析中确定的亚群。资源中心将会 跨3个时代的阶段性研究资源。第一个纪元(第1-9个月)将侧重于传播现有的《儿童权利公约》 广泛使用ADRC核心资源，并从参与中心获取反馈，以增强/定制这些资源 对于每个站点。第二个月(1-12个月)，虽然现有节目正在协调，但新的数字媒体将 已创建。因为这项研究跟踪了老年人从健康到认知的认知轨迹 我们将立即集中精力创造资源来吸引这些参与者。第三个月(月 13-24)，在为研究参与者创建了媒体支持后，我们将专注于策展 新的数字材料支持我们的参与者通过认知老化和进入早期痴呆来支持 留存。拟议开发和传播一个有专家支持和指导的电子工具箱 来自RRC的数字媒体将首次用于外联和参与 带有消息的有色人种社区，根据中确定的特定子群的兴趣而量身定做 市场分析。这一核心的主要影响将是创建一套复杂的技术 参与网站可以实施的资源，以加强其招聘、评估和保留 URGS。作为一名成熟的ADC，在招聘、评估和保留URG方面拥有深厚的知识和经验， 我们处于有利地位，能够领导这个多站点合作网络。我们的重点将是支持网站 应用符合文化的招聘、同意和评估，这将创造一个受欢迎的研究 环境，以加强对黑人和西班牙裔的保留，而我们长期以来没有将他们包括在内。

PROJECT SUMMARY – Recruitment and Retention Core The Recruitment and Retention Core (RRC) has three goals: First, to recruit and engaged an enthusiastic participant pool of 2,250 Black, Hispanic and White participants with incidental white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and cognitive complaints. Second, to assess the degree of cognitive impairment of the participants at baseline and over time to characterize the development and etiology of the cognitive impairments. Third, retain these individuals throughout the project period to enhance the power of this repeated measures design. UC Davis is a national leader for minority recruitment and retention due to its commitment to the principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR). Over its 28 year history, the UC Davis ADRC has developed robust outreach and recruitment processes that reliably identifies, efficiently screens, and clearly consents a highly diverse cohort of participants. The RRC will implement UCD ADRC's successful CBPR toolbox and create a catalog of e-tools to facilitate precision engagement and significantly enhance site recruitment efforts using novel digital media outreach tools. These e-tools also will promote efficient use of core resources by maximizing community engagement by tailoring messaging to the interests of specific subpopulations identified in market analysis conducted by experienced UCD staff and faculty. The RRC will phase-in study resources over 3 epochs. The first epoch (months 1-9) will focus on disseminating existing UCD ADRC core resources broadly and taking feedback from participating centers to enhance/tailor these resources for each site. Second (months 1-12), while the existing programs are harmonizing, new digital media will be created. Because this study tracks the cognitive trajectories of older adults moving from health into cognitive impairment we will focus our immediate effort on creating resources to attract these participants. Third (months 13-24), after we have created the media supports for participants at study entry, we will then focus on curating new digital materials to support our participants through cognitive aging and into early dementia to support retention. The proposed development and dissemination of an e-toolbox with expert support and guidance from the RRC will be the first time that digital media will be used in the outreach and engagement with communities of color with messaging that is tailored to the interests of specific subpopulations identified in market analysis. The major impact of this core will be the creation of a sophisticated set of technical resources that participating sites can implement to enhance their recruitment, assessment and retention of URGs. As a mature ADC with deep knowledge and experience for recruiting, assessing and retaining URGs, we are well-situated to lead this multisite cooperative network. Our emphasis will be on supporting the sites to apply culturally appropriate recruiting, consenting and assessment which will create a welcoming study environment to enhance retention of Blacks and Hispanics who we have long failed to include.
