Cohort for research into Living EnVironments and hEalth in childRen: CLEVER

这个项目是关于什么的？我们正在建立一个名为CLEVER（儿童生活环境和健康研究队列：CLEVER）的新数据资源，使研究人员能够研究学校和家庭内部及周围环境与儿童健康和教育之间的联系。我们为什么要做这个项目？儿童比成年人更容易受到家庭和学校内及周围环境损害健康特征的影响。在英国，许多儿童在他们居住和上学的地方也缺乏服务和基础设施。暴露在室外空气污染、过度拥挤、家里发霉、学校附近的快餐广告，或者童年时期没有机会接触到绿色空间，这些都与哮喘、心理健康状况不佳、肥胖和受教育程度较差等长期疾病的发展有关。政府正在采取一些措施来改善环境和使住房更安全。我们需要更好的数据来了解当地环境如何影响儿童的健康和教育，并决定政府推行的环境政策是否正在改善儿童的福祉和学习成绩。我们要怎么做呢？我们将建立一个名为CLEVER的全国数据库，其中包含来自学校、医院和社区药房的有关2006年以后在英格兰出生的所有儿童（约1100万名儿童）健康和教育历史的数据。有关儿童的数据将与其母亲怀孕期间的健康信息联系起来。我们将把smart中的健康和教育数据与儿童家庭和学校及其周围的当地环境数据结合起来。这将使研究人员能够研究生活在繁忙的道路附近，在拥挤的房子里长大，或者可以进入公园和当地服务等因素如何影响儿童从出生到青少年时期的健康和学业。为了展示如何使用聪明的数据，我们将进行一项研究，看看在绿地（如公园或花园）附近居住或上学是否有助于青少年的心理健康，以及生活在有良好托儿服务的地区是否与孩子在学校的表现有关。所有数据将保存在安全的服务器上，并使用保护母亲和儿童身份的方法进行链接。最终，基于smart数据的研究将告知政府部门、地方议会以及广大公众，他们的住房、环境和规划政策在改善儿童生活方面的效果如何。

What is this project about?We are setting up a new data resource called CLEVER (Cohort for research into Living EnVironments and hEalth in childRen: CLEVER) to allow researchers to study the link between environments in and around schools and homes, and children's health and education. Why are we doing this project?Children are much more vulnerable to health-damaging features of the environment in and around their homes and schools than adults. Many children in England also lack access to services and infrastructure where they live and go to school. Being exposed to such things as outdoor air pollution, overcrowding, mould in the home, fast food advertising near schools, or having no access to greenspace during childhood is associated with the development of long-term conditions such as asthma, poor mental health, obesity and worse educational attainment. The Government is introducing a number of measures to improve environments and make housing safer. We need better data to understand how the local environment influences the health and education of children, and decide whether environmental policies introduced by the Government are improving children's wellbeing and school results. How are we going to do it? We will establish CLEVER, a national database containing data from schools, hospitals and community pharmacies on health and education histories for all children born in England from 2006 onwards, around 11 million children. Data for children will be linked to information about their mothers' health during pregnancy. We will combine the health and education data in CLEVER with data on local environments in and around children's homes and schools. This will allow researchers to carry out studies of how factors such as living near busy roads, growing up in an overcrowded house, or having access to parks and local services influence children's health and schooling from birth to teen age. To show how CLEVER data can be used, we will carry out a study to look at whether living or going to school near greenspace (such as public parks or gardens) helps teenagers' mental health, and whether living in areas with good childcare provision is related to how well children do at school. All data will be kept on secure servers and linked using methods that protect the identities of mothers and children. Ultimately, research based on CLEVER data will inform government departments and local councils, as well as the public at large, about how well their housing, environmental and planning policies are working to improve children's lives.
