项目摘要

The disorders of late life constitute one of the most pressing global public health issues of the 21st Century. Addressing the care of older adults in the coming decades is all the more challenging when one considers demographic trends, patterns of service use and delivery, and the training and composition of the health care work force . The proposed Center activities address the need for: multidimensional and community-based research, interdisciplinary research, and, increasing the supply of investigators interested in and capable of carrying out interdisciplinary research designed to rectify health disparities . The overarching goals of this core are: (1) to facilitate the conduct of research relevant to health disparities across the stages of chronic illness in Latino and African American elders, (2) to prepare investigators to conduct such research,. The investigator development core will increase the productivity of existing Penn centers and programs by creating new opportunities (in collaboration with the community liaison core) for recruiting older minority persons for research, by increasing the knowledge (in collaboration with the measurement core) of investigators on aging-specific issues pertinent to disparities, and by enhancing the recruitment and training of diverse investigators to the field of minority health issues. A central feature of this core is recruitment and development of minority investigators, which the core will achieve by providing a comprehensive development program that addresses, in addition to mentoring in research, issues of the receptivity of the environment, career counseling and development, and development of specific skills necessary for success as an investigator. The specific aims of the investigator development core are to: (1) increase the knowledge base by which health disparities in minority older adults are understood by identifying and evaluating patient, health care provider, caregiver, and social and environmental factors, and testing interventions at the patient, provider, organizational, and environmental levels; (2) support research training and multidisciplinary collaborations relevant to research on health disparities in older minorities; and, (3) recruit and train minority investigators focused on health disparities research among older adults.

后期生活的疾病构成了21世纪最紧迫的全球公共卫生问题之一。当人们考虑时，解决未来几十年的老年人的照顾就更具挑战性人口趋势，服务使用和交付方式以及医疗保健的培训和组成劳动力。拟议的中心活动满足了：多维和基于社区的需求研究，跨学科研究，以及增加感兴趣和能力的研究人员的供应旨在纠正健康差异的跨学科研究。该核心的总体目标是：（1）促进在慢性病阶段与健康差异有关的研究拉丁裔和非裔美国人长老，（2）准备研究人员进行此类研究。调查员开发核心将提高现有宾夕法尼亚中心和计划的生产率创造新的机会（与社区联络核心合作）来招募少数族裔通过增加知识（与测量核心合作）的研究人员调查人员关于与差异有关的特定衰老问题，并通过增强招聘和培训少数民族健康问题领域的各种研究人员。该核心的一个主要特征是招聘和少数族裔调查员的发展，核心将通过提供全面的开发计划除了指导研究外，还针对接受的问题环境，职业咨询和发展以及成功所需的特定技能作为调查员。研究者开发核心的具体目的是：（1）增加知识库的知识库识别和评估患者，医疗保健提供者，照顾者以及社会和环境因素，以及对患者，提供者，组织和环境水平进行测试干预措施；（2）支持与与健康差异有关的研究培训和多学科合作少数族裔；和，（3）招募和培训少数民族调查员，专注于老年人的健康差异研究。
