Core Description The Center will focus on the development of a method for determining appropriateness of care for the investigation of CAM. It will significantly advance a previously developed method by the RAND Corporation by including patient preferences, patient centered outcomes and economic aspects along with professional judgments based on efficacy, effectiveness and safety in determining appropriateness. The Center will have four Projects: The Appropriateness of Manipulation and Mobilization in Chiropractic for the Treatment of Chronic Cervical Pain; Chiropractic Patient-Reported Outcomes for Chronic Cervical Pain; Decision- Making of Patients in Using Chiropractic for Chronic Cervical Pain; Incorporating Economics into the Appropriateness ofthe Use of Chiropractic Care for Chronic Cervical Pain. It is Expected outcomes from each of the Projects, and the overall center, are that there will be impacts on the methods for investigating CAM and for providing evidence about appropriate use of M/M for cervical problems, patient preferences for care, patient based outcome measures for cervical care and the cost implications of inappropriate care which can contribute to determining the magnitude of the problem. Each of the projects uses multiple methods. This Core will ensure that the studies and methods are built upon the best existing data and the best research methods. The studies also all use data gathered using a range of qualitative and quantitative methods, including focus groups and cognitive interviews, surveys, structured interviews, and chart reviews. The Center has assembled a uniquely qualified team. The research team that has been assembled also has extensive and overlapping research expertise. Apart from their contribution to the specific Projects they can also contribute to all the Projects. To ensure that this expertise is brought to bear on each of the Projects we are proposing to develop, in the Core, a Research Methods Assessment and Evaluation Core. This will contribute directly to the cross fertilization between the Projects. It will also contribute to the methods in each project, assure they are rigorous and that they are implemented. The Core will also be responsible for documenting and reporting the methodologies used and publishing them, as the objective is the advancement of methods.

核心描述 该中心将重点开发一种方法来确定 CAM 调查护理的适当性。它将显着推进兰德公司先前开发的方法，通过纳入患者偏好、以患者为中心的结果和经济方面，以及基于功效、有效性和安全性的专业判断来确定适当性。该中心将有四个项目：治疗慢性颈椎疼痛的脊椎按摩疗法中手法和活动的适当性；脊椎按摩疗法患者报告的慢性颈椎疼痛的结果；患者使用脊椎按摩疗法治疗慢性颈椎疼痛的决策；将经济学纳入脊椎按摩疗法治疗慢性颈椎疼痛的适当性。每个项目以及整个中心的预期成果是，将对研究 CAM 的方法以及提供关于适当使用 M/M 治疗宫颈问题的证据、患者对护理的偏好、基于患者的结果的方法产生影响宫颈护理措施以及不当护理的费用影响有助于确定问题的严重程度。 每个项目都使用多种方法。该核心将确保研究和方法建立在现有的最佳数据和最佳研究方法的基础上。这些研究还全部使用通过一系列定性和定量方法收集的数据，包括焦点小组和认知访谈、调查、结构化访谈和图表审查。该中心组建了一支独特的合格团队。组建的研究团队还拥有广泛且重叠的研究专业知识。除了对特定项目的贡献之外，他们还可以对所有项目做出贡献。为了确保这些专业知识能够应用于每个项目，我们建议在核心开发一个研究方法评估和评估核心。这将直接有助于项目之间的杂交。它还将为每个项目中的方法做出贡献，确保它们严格并得到实施。核心还将负责记录和报告所使用的方法并发布它们，因为目标是方法的进步。
