Yet little is known about aging service providers\u2019 perceptions of research and the factors shaping providers\u2019 capacity and motivation to implement evidence-based practices. This study used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to examine providers\u2019 research perceptions within a New York-based network of Area Agencies on Aging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was administered to providers via REDCap (December 2023\u2013May 2024). Respondents (N\u2009=\u2009172) completed a questionnaire. Principal component analysis with parallel analysis identified 3 factors representing providers\u2019 engagement with research: Research Barriers, Perceived Research Value, and Research Confidence. Rank-based regression models identified predictors of each factor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Perceived Research Value (M\u2009=\u20094.38, SD\u2009=\u20090.56) was high, Research Confidence moderate (M\u2009=\u20093.76, SD\u2009=\u20090.73), and Research Barriers near the midpoint (M\u2009=\u20093.10, SD\u2009=\u20090.63). Only the Research Confidence model was significant: Multiracial providers scored lower than White providers, while executives scored higher than caseworkers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although providers broadly endorsed the value of research, confidence in applying findings differed by professional role, suggesting capacity, rather than motivation, may be the primary implementation challenge in the aging services. A small subgroup difference by race was also observed but should be interpreted cautiously given limited sample size. From a CFIR perspective, closing this gap requires multilevel strategies targeting the Inner Setting (e.g., protected learning time, accessible research summaries, role-specific training) and provider self-efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnag141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]],"date-time":"2026-06-18T11:40:25Z","timestamp":1781782825000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From valuing research to implementing evidence-based practices: perceptions of research value, confidence, and barriers among aging service providers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5793-224X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aryn","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Weill Cornell Medicine , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4362-9963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jerad","family":"Moxley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Weill Cornell Medicine , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenna","family":"Gladfelter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LiveOn NY , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Nickerson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LiveOn NY , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5036-318X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elaine","family":"Wethington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Human Ecology, Cornell University , Ithaca, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5584-3893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valeria","family":"Ramos Prado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Weill Cornell Medicine , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1280-5557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Weill Cornell Medicine , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8117-662X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M Carrington","family":"Reid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Weill Cornell Medicine , New York, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026080508323932100_gnag141-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"455","DOI":"10.1177\/0733464820906240","article-title":"Advancing research on diversity and disparities among aging adults","volume":"39","author":"Babulal","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Applied Gerontology: The Official Journal of the Southern Gerontological Society"},{"key":"2026080508323932100_gnag141-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"401","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnac189","article-title":"Strengthening aging research through dissemination and implementation science methods","volume":"63","author":"Bobitt","year":"2023","journal-title":"The Gerontologist"},{"key":"2026080508323932100_gnag141-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-3-24","article-title":"Barriers to research utilization and research use among registered nurses working in the care of older people: Does the BARRIERS Scale discriminate between research users and non-research users on perceptions of barriers?","volume":"3","author":"Bostr\u00f6m","year":"2008","journal-title":"Implementation Science: IS"},{"key":"2026080508323932100_gnag141-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"210","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2010.12.004","article-title":"What do we know about knowledge translation in the care of older adults?
