Sleep disorders represent a major public health problem, affecting at least 15-20% of the U.S. population on a chronic basis, and an even larger number intermittently. These disorders result in significant mortality, morbidity, and impairment in productivity and quality of life. Most of these disorders are diagnosable and treatable. However, a serious misunderstanding of the primary symptoms of these disorders, particularly insomnia and sleepiness, by both physicians and the general population, result in failure to properly identify these conditions as medical disorders. Furthermore, physicians frequently lack the knowledge to conduct basic evaluations even when the condition is brought to their attention. This proposal puts forth a multi-faceted program of curriculum development and implementation, public health education, and design of new educational strategies in order to address these challenges. The goal of this proposal is not only to impart knowledge but also to alter physician and patient attitudes and behavior with respect to identification and treatment of sleep disorders. These goals will be accomplished by: 1) Introduction to issues of sleep and circadian rhythms at the undergraduate level in an effort to stimulate interest in this field and encourage careers in sleep medicine; 2) Development of formal pre-clinical and clinical curricula for undergraduate medical training, which span all four years of medical school training and employ teaching technologies which emphasize student involvement through he use of problem-based small groups, computer interactive, case-based learning, and direct clinical experience; 3) use of our extensive outreach programs in sleep medicine and psychiatry to provide educational interventions for mental health workers and primary care physicians; 4) Development of educational material which are exportable and applicable in medical schools and other learning institutions throughout the country; 5) Dissemination of developed resources to institutions nationally by traditional publishing avenues and electronic means; 6) Evaluation of educational impact by systematic testing of both knowledge and attitude change which occur in response to educational interventions.

睡眠障碍是一个主要的公共卫生问题， 至少有15-20%的美国人口长期患病， 间歇性的更大的数字。 这些疾病导致显著的 死亡率、发病率以及生产力和质量的损害 生活 大多数这些疾病是可以诊断和治疗的。 然而，对这些主要症状的严重误解 疾病，特别是失眠和嗜睡，由两位医生 和一般人群，导致无法正确识别 这些疾病被视为医学疾病。 此外，医生 经常缺乏进行基本评估的知识， 情况引起了他们的注意。 该提案提出， 四是多方位的课程开发方案， 执行、公共卫生教育和设计新 教育战略，以应对这些挑战。 这项建议的目的不仅是传授知识， 改变医生和患者的态度和行为， 识别和治疗睡眠障碍。 这些目标将是 完成：1）介绍睡眠和昼夜节律问题 在本科阶段，为了激发兴趣， 在这一领域，并鼓励在睡眠医学的职业生涯; 2）发展 为本科生提供正式的临床前和临床课程 医学培训，涵盖医学院的所有四年 培训和采用教学技术，强调学生 通过使用以问题为基础小组、计算机 交互式、基于病例的学习和直接的临床经验; 3） 使用我们广泛的睡眠医学推广计划， 精神病学提供心理健康教育干预 工人和初级保健医生; 4）发展教育 可出口并适用于医学院的材料， 全国各地的其他学习机构; 5）传播 向国家机构提供发达资源， 出版渠道和电子手段; 6）教育评价 系统测试知识和态度变化的影响 这是对教育干预的回应。
