PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) proposes Constructing a Community of Teen Health Science Leaders (THSL). THSL is designed as a leadership opportunity that offers a roadmap for its teen participants to recognize themselves as “science leaders.” The teen participants, from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences, will work closely with UCSF faculty to understand the NIH-funded research that informs teen health recommendations. Through these collaborations, the students will identify health issues that impact their community and plan how to share this information at a one-day Health Summit for their peers. Design of the Health Summit (its speakers, session styles, and interactive activities) will be informed by participants’ knowledge of their community and how best to inspire engagement among their peers. The Health Summit will also give these students the opportunity to be recognized as science leaders among their peers. We believe that this leadership opportunity will engender a sense of belonging in science that will encourage the student participants to ultimately pursue STEM careers. The specific aims for this project are to: 1) Develop a community of Teen Health Science Leaders; 2) Support Teen Leaders as they organize and lead the annual Teen Health Summit; 3) In collaboration with learning researchers, develop a validated instrument to measure “Belonging in Science,” and test the impact of THSL on students’ sense of belonging; and, 4) Publish the results of the learning research in peer-reviewed journals to inform and advance the science education community’s understanding of student belonging in science. In order to study the program’s impact on belonging in science, THSL incorporates two levels of engagement among the Teen Leaders. Over the life of the project, 80 students will serve as Junior Leaders, with 15 of these students selected to rejoin the program in subsequent years as Senior Leaders. The Belonging in Science survey instrument will compare the responses of all THSL Teen Leaders to the control group of Health Summit student attendees (600 over the life of the grant). Lessons on healthy behaviors from the Health Summit will be further amplified by sharing teen-crafted health messaging via social media and by presenting interactive activities from the Health Summit at the Bay Area Science Festival. Combined over the life of the grant, we anticipate reaching more than 52,000 additional people with public health messaging designed and facilitated by teens.

项目摘要/摘要 加州大学旧金山分校的科学与健康教育伙伴关系（SEP） 弗朗西斯科（加州大学旧金山分校）建议建立一个青少年健康科学领导者的社区 （THSL）。THSL被设计成一个领导机会，为青少年提供了一个路线图。 参与者承认自己是“科学领导者”。青少年参与者，从 科学领域背景不足的学生将与加州大学旧金山分校的教职员工密切合作， 了解NIH资助的研究，告知青少年健康建议。通过这些 合作，学生将确定影响他们社区的健康问题，并计划如何 在为期一天的健康峰会上与同龄人分享这些信息。健康设计 峰会（其发言人，会议风格和互动活动）将根据与会者的 了解他们的社区，以及如何最好地激励他们的同龄人参与。的 健康峰会还将为这些学生提供被公认为科学领袖的机会 在同龄人中。我们相信，这一领导机会将产生一种 属于科学，这将鼓励学生参与者最终追求STEM careers.该项目的具体目标是：1）发展青少年健康社区 科学领袖; 2）支持青少年领袖组织和领导年度青少年健康 3）与学习研究人员合作，开发一个有效的工具， 测量“科学归属感”，并测试THSL对学生归属感的影响; 以及，4）在同行评审的期刊上发表学习研究的结果， 促进科学教育界对学生归属于科学的理解。 为了研究该计划对科学归属感的影响，THSL纳入了两个层次， 青少年领袖之间的互动。在项目的生命周期中，80名学生将担任 初级领导人，其中15名学生被选中在随后的几年中重新加入该计划， 高级领导人。归属于科学调查工具将比较所有人的回答， THSL青少年领导人到健康峰会学生与会者的对照组（600人以上的生活 补助金）。健康问题首脑会议关于健康行为的经验教训将进一步扩大， 通过社交媒体和互动活动分享青少年制作的健康信息 来自湾区科学节的健康峰会。在补助金的有效期内， 我们预计，通过公共卫生信息， 由青少年设计和推动。
