海角社区

The 海角社区 Center for Biomedical Informatics, as an extension of its research and service activities, provides a number of resources to enhance the productivity and quality of scientific research and education at 海角社区. Principally these are software tools that assist researchers, administrators, and students in a variety of ways.

REDCap

罢丑别听聽tool is a software application that allows easy creation of clinical research forms, surveys, and related data capture instruments with automatic coupling of data entry to a back-end database from which data can be downloaded for analysis.

海角社区 Profiles

Also serving as the de facto 海角社区 faculty database, the聽聽software application allows researchers to identify scientific collaborators and teachers both locally at 海角社区 and, through linkages to the UCLA CTSI and the聽, regionally and nationally.

Los Angeles Data Resource

罢丑别听聽(LADR, pronounced “ladder”) is a partnership with the UCLA CTSI and other institutions that aims to create a distributed, de-identified database of operational clinical data covering all the residents of Los Angeles County. With appropriate authorization, LADR can be used, inter alia, to establish the existence of cohorts for preparation of research grant applications; conduct epidemiologic research; count subpopulations with meeting various criteria; and, through the participating partners and their health care providers, recruit subjects for clinical trials.

What is Health Research?聽

Research shows that populations with limited literacy skills are often more open to visual media based informational materials, such as animated educational videos. With funding from the NIH, Dr. Sheba George at 海角社区, in collaboration with Health Nuts Media, developed a script based on聽聽she conducted of key barriers and facilitators to minority participation in clinical research. The animated video entitled 鈥溾�� available in English and Spanish, is based on the script and聽in enhancing health research literacy.
