An Exploratory Center for Health Behavior Research with Children and Adolescents at the University of Michigan is proposed. The Center will support an Administrative and Planning Core with a Data Acquisition, Analysis and Management Unit and a Biobehavioral Measurement Unit as well as multidisciplinary pilot studies. The common focus of the pilot studies consistent with the long-term objectives of the Center is to generate knowledge concerning antecedent and consequent factors influencing the development and continuation of risk-taking and health-promoting behaviors and the developmental course of these behaviors among children and adolescents from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. This knowledge will be used as a basis for designing and testing the efficacy of interventions to reduce risky behaviors and promote healthy behaviors with the goal of improving health throughout the lifespan. The development of theories through iterative testing will inform the preventive and health promotive care for vulnerable youth. The initial proposed research projects focus on factors influencing alcohol use, early sexual activity, and exercise and the underlying biobehavioral mechanisms by which these factors exert their effects. The pilot studies will provide data necessary to justify extramural funding for continuing research efforts in these areas of investigation. In addition, other pilot studies will be funded consistent with the aims of the Center. The proposed Center will establish a targeted investigative initiative that can serve as a role model of scientific excellence in augmenting both the pace and the scientific depth of behavioral and biological research focused on prevention and health promotion among children and adolescents.

儿童健康行为研究探索中心 密歇根大学的青少年被提议。 该中心将 通过数据采集支持管理和规划核心， 分析和管理单位以及生物行为测量单位 作为多学科试点研究。 试点研究的共同重点 与中心的长期目标相一致的是， 关于影响经济增长的前因和后因因素的知识 冒险和促进健康行为的发展和持续 以及这些行为在儿童中的发展过程， 来自不同种族和社会经济背景的青少年。 这 知识将被用作设计和测试功效的基础， 采取干预措施，减少危险行为，促进健康行为， 在整个生命周期中改善健康的目标。 的发展 通过迭代测试的理论将告知预防和健康 促进对弱势青年的关怀。 最初提出的研究 项目重点关注影响饮酒，过早性活动， 和运动，以及这些运动背后的生物行为机制， 因素发挥其作用。 试点研究将提供必要的数据， 为了证明继续研究这些领域的校外资金是合理的， 调查领域。 此外，还将资助其他试点研究 符合中心的宗旨。 该中心将建立 有针对性的调查举措，可作为 科学卓越，加快步伐和科学深度 行为和生物学研究的重点是预防和健康 在儿童和青少年中进行宣传。
