项目摘要

Abstract Special Olympics, with over 2.25 million athletes in 164 countries worldwide, provides a window into the health and well-being of persons with intellectual disability worldwide. Special Olympics athletes represent tremendous diversity in terms of geography, race, socioeconomic level, gender, and ability level, as well as in disability type and etiology of disability. Special Olympics research projects are designed to take maximal advantage of that diversity. Five years ago, Special Olympics University (SOU) had many questions about the health and well being of people with ID, but had few answers. Under the current Cooperative Agreement between Special Olympics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, SOU has engaged in a series of research projects to address these questions. The findings from these studies have created a foundation of knowledge that is continually drawn from and built upon as new questions are posed. The current proposal reflects an intentional scaffolding of new projects on top of the knowledge base created during the past 5 years. SOU proposes to build upon this rich foundation of knowledge by designing studies that look more deeply at issues affecting attitudes, health, the status of persons with intellectual disabilities, and the impact of SO programming. Further, SOU proposes an investment in the strengthening of research capacity throughout the organization, extending into regions and countries where there is currently little or no research capacity in the field of intellectual disability. SOU also proposes to collaborate with other institutions to strengthen SOU s own data gathering, management, and sharing abilities. Specifically, SOU is targeting the following areas: Deepened and broadened impact assessments of SO programming on the health and well-being of athletes, families, and communities; Research studies that extend and enhance the health programming at SO; Global expansion of SOU's research capacity; Targeted research on attitudes; and Continued systems and policy level research.

抽象的特殊奥运会在全球164个国家 /地区拥有超过225万运动员，提供了全球智力残疾人的健康和福祉的窗口。特奥会运动员在地理，种族，种族，社会经济水平，性别和能力水平以及残疾类型和病因残疾。特殊奥林匹克研究项目旨在获得最大优势这种多样性。五年前，特殊奥林匹克大学（SOU）对健康有许多疑问和有ID的人的健康，但答案很少。根据目前的合作特殊奥运会与疾病控制中心与预防，SOU从事一系列研究项目来解决这些问题。这些研究的发现创造了知识的基础随着新问题的提出，不断地绘制并建立在基础上。当前的建议在创建的知识库之外，反映了新项目的故意脚手架在过去的5年中。 SOU提议通过设计研究来建立这一丰富的知识基础更深入地研究影响态度，健康，与人的身份的问题智力残疾和这样的编程的影响。此外，Sou提出了投资整个组织的研究能力，延伸到目前几乎没有或没有研究能力的地区和国家在智力残疾领域。 Sou还建议与其他加强SOU自己的数据收集，管理和共享能力的机构。具体而言，SOU针对以下领域： SO编程对健康的影响加深和扩大了影响评估以及运动员，家庭和社区的福祉；扩展和增强健康计划的研究； SOU研究能力的全球扩展；针对性的态度研究；和持续的系统和政策水平研究。
