Abstract: NIA Office of Communications and Public Liaison (OCPL) can better meet NIA's communications mission by developing evidence-based materials. This will require OCPL to conduct primary research with older adults, caregivers, health professionals and other people who work with older people to determine what health and aging topics are of interest and not represented by NIA's current materials. OCPL must also work directly with these audiences to determine the most effective presentation of NIA's health information through the development of new materials and through outreach to raise awareness of NIA's resources. NIA plans to conduct formative research with its key audiences--older people, caregivers, health professionals, and others who work with older people. This type of research involves (1) assessing audiences' trusted/preferred sources for information, knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and other characteristics for the planning/development of health messages and communications strategies and (2) pretesting health messages and outreach strategies while they are in developmental form to assess audience response, including their likes and dislikes.
