老龄化研究与临床护理中心由老龄化与行为研究中心、虐待老人、姑息、晚年疼痛转化研究所四个部门组成。
由Sara J. Czaja博士领导的威尔康奈尔医学新成立的老龄化和行为研究中心的使命是提高老年人及其家人的生活质量,并通过研究,教育和服务解决当前和新出现的老龄化挑战。Czaja博士和她的团队正在制定和测试创新策略和干预措施,努力使老年人在社交,智力和专业方面保持独立和参与。
该中心致力于为多样化和服务不足的人群提供服务。该中心的独特之处在于对老龄化问题采取多学科方法,并将技术整合为为老年人提供服务和计划的机制。
老龄化和行为研究中心的一个组成部分是老龄化和技术增强研究与教育中心(CREATE)。CREATE是一个多地点,多学科的中心,由美国国立卫生研究院、国家老龄化研究所资助,涉及与佐治亚理工学院和佛罗里达州立大学的合作。CREATE最初于1999年资助,致力于研究老年人与技术之间相互作用的问题。CREATE的首要目标是确保当代和后代的老年人能够成功使用技术,并为老年人口实现技术的好处。CREATE的重点是健康,工作和生活环境领域的技术系统。
该司因其在虐待和忽视老人领域的专门知识而享誉国际,纽约市虐待老人中心是该司的一个项目。该部门的教师为虐待和忽视老年人的研究带来了科学的严谨性,并且已经对虐待的风险因素,流行率和虐待结果进行了大量研究。
The Center for Research and Clinical Care on Aging consists of four departments: the Center for Aging and Behavior Research and the Institute for Transforming Pain in Aging and Elder Abuse, Palliatives, and Later Life.
The mission of Weill Cornell Medicine's newly formed Center for Aging and Behavior Research, led by Dr. Sara J. Czaja, is to improve the quality of life for older adults and their families and to address current and emerging aging challenges through research, education, and services. Dr. Czaja and her team are developing and testing innovative strategies and interventions that strive to keep older adults socially independent and engaged socially, intellectually and professionally.
The center is dedicated to serving diverse and underserved populations. The Centre is unique in its multidisciplinary approach to ageing and the integration of technology into mechanisms for providing services and programs to older persons.
An integral part of the Center for Research on Ageing and Behavior is the Center for Research and Education on Ageing and Technology Enhancement (CREATE). CREATE is a multi-site, multidisciplinary center funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute on Aging, and involves collaborations with the Georgia Institute of Technology and Florida State University. Originally funded in 1999, CREATE is dedicated to studying the interplay between older adults and technology. CREATE's overarching goal is to ensure that current and future generations of older adults can use technology successfully and realize the benefits of technology for the elderly population. CREATE's focus is on technological systems in the areas of health, work and living environments.
The Division is internationally recognized for its expertise in the field of elder abuse and neglect, and the New York City Center for Elder Abuse is a project of the Division. The faculty in the department brings scientific rigor to the study of elder abuse and neglect, and has done a lot of research on risk factors, prevalence and outcomes of abuse.
