The primary mission of the UCLA/RCMAR/CHIME measurement core (MC) is to provide comprehensive methodological support to CHIME pilot investigators. The CHIME MC will also advance measurement methodology for minority aging research and promote the participation of minority elders in research. The specific aims of the measurement core are: Aim 1: To provide methodological support to CHIME pilot investigators including in the following areas: qualitative and quantitative study design, sampling, power considerations, analytical methods and statistical programming; Aim 2: To develop and/or evaluate epidemiological, behavioral, or social measurement tools for use in culturally diverse elderly populations including populations with limited English proficiency and low health literacy; Aim 3: To promote the application of culturally sensitive measurement tools and scientifically sound research methods among pilot investigators, other institutionally-based researchers and the broader community of scholars engaged in minority aging research; Aim 4: To identify, catalogue and disseminate culturally sensitive and scientifically sound epidemiological, behavioral, or social measurement tools for use in aging research; and Aim 5: To develop, implement and evaluate strategies for maximizing participation by older African American and Latino in pilot research projects, including those with limited English proficiency and low literacy. To achieve these specific aims, we have developed strategies to address each specific aim and we have recruited a diverse MC faculty that consists of nationally and internationally-recognized measurement and methodological experts drawn from universities and research institutions throughout Southern California including UCLA, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, San Diego State University, University of Southern California and RAND. Additional methodological expertise will be available to CHIME pilot investigators through collaboration agreements with other aging research centers at UCLA, RAND and USC.

UCLA/RCMAR/CHIME测量核心（MC）的主要任务是提供全面 方法学对铃声试点调查人员的支持。 Chime MC也将提前测量 少数族裔老化研究的方法论，并促进少数族裔长老参与研究。这 测量核心的具体目的是： 目的1：为Chime Pilot调查人员提供方法论支持，包括以下领域： 定性和定量研究设计，采样，功率注意事项，分析方法和统计 编程; 目标2：开发和/或评估用于使用的流行病学，行为或社会测量工具 文化多元化的老年人口，包括英语能力有限和健康状况低下的人群 扫盲； 目标3：促进对文化敏感的测量工具的应用和科学的声音 试点研究者，其他基于机构的研究人员以及更广泛的研究方法 学者社区从事少数族裔老化研究； 目标4：识别，分类和传播文化敏感和科学的流行病学， 行为或社会测量工具用于老龄化研究；和 目标5：制定，实施和评估策略以最大程度地提高非裔美国人的参与 和拉丁裔在试点研究项目中，包括那些英语水平有限和识字率低的项目。 为了实现这些特定目标，我们制定了解决每个特定目标的策略，我们已经 招募了由国内和国际公认的测量和 从南加州的大学和研究机构吸取的方法论专家 包括加州大学洛杉矶分校，查尔斯·R·德鲁医学与科学大学，圣地亚哥州立大学，大学 南加州和兰德。其他方法论专业知识将用于核心飞行员 通过与UCLA，RAND和USC的其他老龄化研究中心的合作协议进行调查人员。
