An external advisory board consisting of members from the fields of geriatric internal medicine, family practice geriatrics, criminal prosecution, civil law, police force, adult protective services, and victims advocacy was created to advise and guide the research conducted by the Consortium for Research in Elder Self-neglect of Texas (CREST). This panel of experts performed site visits and facilitated the research through responses to every-other-week fact sheets and quarterly conference calls. This paper provides the perspective of five of the board members regarding the research findings that were presented at the CREST National Conference in 2006. The discussions outline the successes of the CREST research, describe obstacles and the necessary next steps for continuance of the scientific exploration of this syndrome, and highlight the practice implications of the current and proposed research.
成立了一个外部咨询委员会，其成员来自老年内科医学、老年家庭医疗、刑事诉讼、民法、警察部队、成人保护服务和受害者权益倡导等领域，旨在为德克萨斯州老年人自我忽视研究联盟（CREST）开展的研究提供建议和指导。该专家小组进行了实地考察，并通过每两周回复情况说明书和每季度举行电话会议来推动研究。本文提供了五名委员会成员对2006年CREST全国会议上展示的研究结果的看法。讨论概述了CREST研究的成功之处，描述了障碍以及对该综合征进行持续科学探索的必要后续步骤，并强调了当前及拟议研究对实践的影响。
