CORE--EVALUATION RESOURCE

公共卫生研究的一个主要组成部分是收集 研究参与者通过邮件、电话和面对面提供的信息 调查。评估共享资源(ESR)提供技术支持 对项目和科学家在调查实施、质量 控制和数据管理。代表政府执行的具体任务 项目包括样本开发、问卷预试、个人 以及电话采访、邮寄和跟踪邮寄的问卷， 编辑/编码、数据输入、编程支持、数据库管理、数据 清洁、回复/拒绝率报告、受访者跟踪和 项目文档。使用ESR的项目从以下方面获得效率 有规范的程序，训练有素的工作人员和技术资源， 例如CATI(计算机辅助电话面试)，其服务于多个 项目。该资源为25个以上接受同行审查的国立卫生研究院提供了支持 1996-97财政年度的研究项目。而ESR最初是 建立主要服务于项目中的调查人员的需求 在癌症预防研究和公共卫生科学部， 它最近扩大了它的范围，朝着 FHCRC的跨学科目标。

A major component of public health research is the collection of information from study participants, by mail, telephone and in-person surveys. The Evaluation Shared Resource (ESR) provides technical support to projects and scientists in the areas of survey implementation, quality control, and data management. Specific tasks carried out on behalf of projects include sample development, questionnaire pre-testing, personal and telephone interviewing, mailing and tracking of mailed questionnaires, editing/coding, data entry, programming support, database management, data cleaning, response/refusal rate reporting, respondent tracking, and project documentation. Projects which use ESR gain efficiencies from having standardized procedures, trained staff, and technical resources, such as CATI (Computer Aided Telephone Interviewing), which serve multiple projects. The resource provided support for more than 25 peer-reviewed NIH research projects in the 1996-97 fiscal year. While ESR was originally established to serve the needs of investigators primarily in the Program in Cancer Prevention Research and the Division of Public Health Sciences, it has recently broadened its scope in the direction of the interdisciplinary goals of the FHCRC.
