Equity and Dissemination Core

EQUITY AND DISSEMINATION CORE SUMMARY The purpose of the Equity and Dissemination (E&D) Core is to maximize the impact of the Improving causal inference in AD projects for prevention research on modifiable risk factors: the Triangulation of Innovative Methods to End AD (TIME-AD) project on improving health equity and population health. The

E&D Core will accomplish this foremost by continually focusing on health equity while collaborating with projects and cores throughout the analytic and dissemination stages to produce unbiased, culturally-relevant scientific findings. This core will seek opportunities for more inclusive data analysis approaches, such as

settings where more representative data might be incorporated or added to enrich the diversity of study findings, and opportunities for analytics that would extend findings from non-representative samples to more diverse populations. Once TIME-AD scientists have produced unbiased findings relevant to these

subpopulations, the core will disseminate results to relevant stakeholders who can use and act on the evidence in an inclusive manner. This includes identifying components of our work that should be shared with different target audiences, including researchers, the general public, clinical providers and health systems, community

health advocates, media sources, or policymakers. This core responds to a well-recognized need to reduce AD/ADRD inequities and will ensure that TIME-AD projects findings are relevant to this aim and that they reach real-world stakeholders in the most impactful form.
