The Education and Information Transfer Core of the ADRC builds upon nearly 20 years of experience linking education and community outreach efforts to important laboratory-based investigation, as well as the extensive, well-developed educational resources of the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Division on Aging, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Gerontology Division, and the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged (HRCA) Research and Training Institute. The Principal Investigator, Lewis A. Lipsitz, M.D., holds appointments at all 3 institutions, each of which is largely focused on clinical issues related to the care of AD patients. Over the past 5 years we have trained 30 geriatric medicine fellows, 45 medical residents, 19 medical students, 4 post-doctoral research fellows, and 5 postdoctoral nurses in the area of AD and related dementias. We have disseminated information about dementia to over 35,000 community-dwelling elders through presentations, newsletters, and seminars. We have also completed postmortem analyses of 13 normal brains from people whose average age is 90 +/- 7 years. In this application we propose new projects in areas of professional education and information dissemination about AD to the African-American, Chinese-speaking, and Latino populations of Boston. Furthermore, we will continue the successful Memory and Aging Project that collects brains for postmortem examination from cognitively normal elderly individuals. The specific aims of the Core are: 1) To enhance the professional education of physicians in the diagnosis, management, and investigation of AD, 2) To increase the level of knowledge of non-professional caregivers and all consumers about the manifestations and management of AD and other dementias, and 3) To provide normal brain tissue from well-characterized elderly residents of the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged who agree to make brain donations to the ADRC Brain Bank when they die. In order to accomplish these goals, the ADRC has allied itself closely with several organizations, including The Massachusetts Alzheimer's Association, Boston Multicultural Coalition on Aging, local hospitals, and the Harvard Division on Aging.

ADRC 的教育和信息传输核心建立在近 20 年将教育和社区外展工作与重要的实验室调查联系起来的经验以及哈佛医学院 (HMS) 部门广泛、完善的教育资源的基础上老龄化、贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心 (BIDMC) 老年学部门和希伯来老年人康复中心 (HRCA) 研究和培训研究所。首席研究员 Lewis A. Lipsitz 医学博士在所有 3 个机构都有任命，每个机构主要关注与 AD 患者护理相关的临床问题。在过去的 5 年里，我们培训了 30 名老年医学研究员、45 名住院医生、19 名 AD 及相关痴呆症领域的医学生、4 名博士后研究员和 5 名博士后护士。我们通过演讲、时事通讯和研讨会向超过 35,000 名社区老年人传播了有关痴呆症的信息。我们还完成了对平均年龄为 90 +/- 7 岁人群的 13 个正常大脑的尸检分析。在此应用程序中，我们提出了向波士顿的非裔美国人、华裔和拉丁裔人群提供 AD 专业教育和信息传播领域的新项目。此外，我们将继续成功的记忆与衰老项目，从认知正常的老年人身上收集大脑进行尸检。该核心的具体目标是： 1) 加强医师的专业教育 AD 的诊断、管理和调查，2) 提高非专业护理人员和所有消费者对 AD 和其他痴呆症的表现和管理的知识水平，以及 3) 提供来自特征良好的老年居民的正常脑组织希伯来老年人康复中心的一位医生同意在死后向 ADRC 脑库捐赠大脑。为了实现这些目标，ADRC 与多个组织密切合作，包括马萨诸塞州阿尔茨海默病协会、波士顿老龄问题多元文化联盟、当地医院和哈佛老龄问题部。
