Description
Kathryn Nearing, Leslie Wright, Christin Williamson, and Cory Sedey-Seitz describe a training program for older adult research staff in a 2024 paper. Older adults are often left out of clinical trials, which limits how well results apply to them. Their university program trains community older adults, average age sixty eight, for roles on trial teams.
Graduates, called Older Adult Research Specialists, design outreach, recruit and consent participants, and help keep them in studies by solving practical barriers. They also teach research teams how to include older adults well. Training runs fourteen weeks and is competency based, built on health navigation skills. Four cohorts, forty three graduates, have completed it so far.
