CILs, communities

  • Information applied in

policy or advocacy efforts

  • Research articles cited

We Don’t Know When Exposure Means Utilization

For example, these outcomes of the Bridging Meeting:

  • Our secondary data fact sheets and first infographic

were submitted to U.S. Senate HELP committee by Pimjai Sudsawad

  • An early analysis of the American Housing Survey

data was submitted to HUD by Charlie Lakin

Research & Training Center on Community Living

Lessons Learned

  • We need to be strategic at the same time as we

cast our seeds to the wind.

̶ Example: The unknown value of You Tube. In our previous center we produced eight videos which received a total of 3,090 hits.

  • “Everything Should Be Made as Simple as

Possible, But Not Simpler” (attributed to Einstein)

  • Put older adults/aging in the picture.
  • Get feedback from users before producing

products.

Next Steps: How You Can Help

  • Serve on our KT consumer-empowered team

̶ Or identify people who can help us review for both content and accessibility (blind, low vision)

  • Consult with individual interventions
  • Identify more audiences to reach

– Who else would benefit from our work? ̶ What names can you provide? ̶ What actions can you take?
