Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) partners and staff gathered last month at the Association for Clinical & Translational Science conference held here in Chicago to learn from and share with colleagues from across the U.S. It was a joy to connect in person. Below are slides from ARCC's three panel presentations. 
 
One way that the Center for Community Health (CCH) is helping translate research findings into practice more quickly is through Stakeholder-Academic Resource Panels (ShARPs)
 
Upcoming Session Opportunity:
A team from Northwestern University aims to learn how to best use smartphones when conducting screenings with older adults on their cognitive health (how they receive and process information). This team is interested in learning ways to adapt their study so that if fits the needs of everyone involved.

Specifically, they want to hear from adults who:
  • Are between the ages of 65-88
  • Have seen a doctor within 18 months or have an upcoming appointment
  • Are interested in voicing opinions and learning from others
OR
Adults who:
  • Provide care/support to adults described above (as community health worker, social service provider, etc.)
 
Session will take place: May 2022 via web conference
