Ten research priorities for TREC

1	What is the relationship between staffing levels and staff mix with resident outcomes (e.g. responsive behaviours)?
2	Is there an association between engagement in quality improvement activities and resident outcomes (e.g. responsive behaviours, falls)?
3	Is there an association between access to medical care (e.g. physicians and nurse practitioners) and resident outcomes?
4	Are care aides included in decision making about residents?
5	Is there an association between the work environment (including physical space) and resident outcomes (e.g. responsive behaviours)?
6	Is there an association between engagement in quality improvement activities and staff’s quality of work life and work environment?
7	What resident characteristics are associated with physical restraint use?
8	What resident characteristics are associated with quality of work life (e.g. burnout) and work engagement?
9	What leader (e.g. LPN vs RN leader) and leadership qualities are associated with a positive work environment?
10	Is there an association between resident pain and other quality indicators?
