如何提高公众对公共卫生趋势的了解？卫生研究人员如何增强对公众舆论和政策制定的影响力？需要更多的媒体报道，例如新闻报道和电视采访；然而，当今的互联网为教育和交流提供了替代选择。 Gapminder 基金会前身是瑞典卡罗林斯卡学院全球健康部门，它利用新的信息技术 (IT) 机遇，创建了一个非营利性网络服务 (http://www.gapminder.org)，该服务呈现基于事实（数据）的全球发展趋势观点。借助来自许多国际组织（例如世界银行、世界卫生组织[WHO]和联合国教育、科学及文化组织[UNESCO]）的可免费获取的数据，将深奥的数字转化为有趣的动画和交互式图形，Gapminder网站致力于使全球经济、健康、环境、教育、人口和能源发展的时间序列统计数据易于理解并可供用户免费访问。本文将演示互动工具“Gapminder World”的使用，并简要介绍Gapminder动画统计在传达公共卫生信息方面的成功经验。
How can the publicÕs understanding of public health trends be improved? How can health researchers increase their impact on public opinion and policy-making? More media coverage, such as press reports and TV interviews, are needed; however, the internet nowadays provides alternative options for educating and communicating. Gapminder Foundation, which grew out of the Global Health Division of the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, took advantage of the new information technology (IT) opportunities and created a non-profit web service (http://www. gapminder. org), which presents a fact (data)–based view of global development trends. With the freely accessible data from many international organizations (eg, World Bank, World Health Organization [WHO], and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO]), the abstruse numbers were converted into enjoyable, animated and interactive graphics, and the Gapminder website was dedicated to making the time series statistics of global development in economics, health, environment, education, demography and energy easily understood and freely accessible to users. In this article, the use of the interactive tool ‘‘Gapminder World’’will be demonstrated along with a brief description of the successful experience in conveying public health information with Gapminder animated statistics.
