The Experience Corps [tm] (EC) is a community-based, health promotion model for older adults embedded in a social engagement program. EC provides innovative generative roles for older adults, mobilizing their time, experience, and wisdom in a program designed to improve academic and behavioral outcomes of children in public elementary schools. This Program Project will evaluate a community-based model for health promotion for older adults, that is embedded within a social engagement program that brings their time, experience, and wisdom to bear to improve academic and behavioral outcomes of children in public elementary schools. This core will conduct recruitment and retention of older adult volunteers for Projects 1, 3 and 4 and 5 in this program project. Project 1 will evaluate the physical and cognitive functioning in older adults who are assigned either 1) to the intervention group that participates in Experience Corps, a program for placing a critical mass of adults in selected Baltimore City Schools or 2) to a control group that receives a referral to low-intensity volunteer activities offered through the Baltimore Commission on Aging and Retirement Education. Project 3 proposes to utilize functional MRIs to evaluate brain differences in a subgroup of the intervention and control group. Project 4 will evaluate social and psychological outcomes in the older adult participants, and a Project 5 will explore the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the program. The specific aims follow: 1) Implement strategies for recruitment and retention of older adult volunteers for participation in the randomized controlled trial for Projects 1, 3, 4 and 5. This core has refined strategies previously used to recruit older adults, given the possibility of randomization to an EC participant group or a control group, and to retain older adults randomized as both the EC participants and controls throughout the evaluation process. 2)Continuously refine and evaluate recruitment messages and strategies, and analyze the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for specific target populations of potential older adult volunteers with Project 5 and Cores C and D. 3) Identify and analyze individual and community factors that impact the effectiveness of recruitment, attendance and retention over time, with Cores C and D. 4)Develop and refine messages targeting a sub-study (Project 3) of the larger trial, and recruit volunteers for functional MRI evaluation. This will include educating prospective volunteers and controls about the safety and value of functional MRI neuro-imaging in lay terms. EC represents offer an innovative and potentially powerful approach to compress morbidity in older adults on a large social scale, and a successful recruitment by this Core would further demonstrate that this model has the potential to appeal to a diverse and sizable number of older Americans.

体验团[TM]（EC）是一种基于社区的，健康促进模型，用于嵌入A 社会参与计划。 EC为老年人提供创新的生成角色，动员他们的时间， 经验和智慧，旨在改善儿童的学术和行为成果 公立小学。该计划项目将评估基于社区的健康模型 促进老年人的促进，该成年人嵌入了社会参与计划中，该计划带来了时间， 经验和智慧，以改善公共儿童的学术和行为成果 小学。该核心将对项目1的老年人志愿者进行招聘和保留。 该计划项目中的3和4和5。项目1将评估年龄较大的身体和认知功能 被分配的成年人1）参加参加体验团的干预小组，该计划 为了在选定的巴尔的摩市学校或2）对照组中放置一大批成年人 转介到巴尔的摩老龄化委员会提供的低强度志愿者活动 退休教育。项目3建议利用功能MRI来评估A的大脑差异 干预和对照组的亚组。项目4将评估社会和心理成果 老年人参与者和项目5将探讨 程序。具体目的如下：1）实施招募和保留老年人的策略 志愿者参加项目1、3、4和5的随机对照试验。该核心已完善 鉴于有可能向EC参与者进行随机分配的可能性，以前用于招募老年人的策略 组或对照组，并保留老年人作为EC参与者和对照组的随机分组 在整个评估过程中。 2）不断完善并评估招聘信息和策略， 并分析潜在老年人的特定目标人群的有效性和成本效益 与项目5和核心C和D的志愿者D）识别和分析个人和社区因素 随着核心C和D，会影响招聘，出勤率和保留的有效性。4） 并完善针对较大试验的子研究（项目3）的消息，并招募志愿者的职能 MRI评估。这将包括教育潜在的志愿者和控制权的控制 功能性MRI神经图像以外行术语。 EC代表提供创新且潜在的强大 在大型社会规模上压缩老年人发病的方法，并成功招募 核心将进一步证明该模型有可能吸引一个多样化和相当大的数字 年长的美国人。
