HOPE PARTNERSHIP (HEALTH OBSERVANCES & PUBLIC EDUCATION)

描述（由申请人提供）： UMDNJ公共卫生学院，通过环境健康科学中心的社区外展和教育计划（COEP），环境健康科学（NIEHS）卓越中心的国家研究所环境和职业健康科学研究所（EOHSI），建议进行希望伙伴关系（健康观察和公共教育），一个为期五年的第一阶段和第二阶段开发和传播项目。该计划将有助于提高公众对生物医学和健康相关科学以及研究对人类健康的影响的理解，同时确定实现这一目标的最有效的推广方法。UMDNJ将与位于俄勒冈州州立大学、亚利桑那大学、北卡罗来纳州查佩尔山大学、南加州大学、德克萨斯大学医学博士的七个COEP合作指导该项目。安德森癌症中心，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校和范德比尔特大学。这些COEP已经证明了它们有能力通过SEPA项目（EH-STEP）进行合作，以提高公众对生物医学和与健康有关的科学的理解，该项目的支持一直持续到2003年8月31日。这些不同的合作伙伴将确保该项目在全国范围内可翻译。将制定、实施和评估公共卫生科学教育模式。 该模型包括六个组成部分：健康观察，需求评估，行动机制，公共卫生科学教育材料，科学家参与和项目评估。该方案的组成部分将利用三个既定的国家卫生纪念活动（癌症控制月、哮喘和过敏症宣传月以及预防铅中毒周）来影响目标受众（学生、教师、公众）。需求评估将记录目标受众对生物医学和健康相关科学的看法、态度和知识。利用NIEHS中心和需求评估网络的各种经验和专业知识，健康观察和公共教育（HOPE）伙伴关系将开发公共卫生科学教育材料，通过行动机制进行传播：社区论坛，正规教育，非正规教育，媒体，非营利组织和科学中心/博物馆。科学家将参与整个倡议，包括材料的开发和行动机制的实施。 形成性和总结性措施将用于分析所有方面，包括整体项目有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UMDNJ-School of Public Health, through the Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP) at the Center for Environmental Health Sciences, a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Center of Excellence at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI), proposes to conduct the HOPE Partnership (Health Observances and Public Education), a five-year Phase I and II Development and Dissemination project. This program will help to improve public understanding of the biomedical and health-related sciences and the impact of research on human health, while determining the most effective outreach methods to achieve this goal. UMDNJ will direct this project in collaboration with seven COEPs based at Oregon State University, University of Arizona, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Southern California, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Vanderbilt University. These COEPs have demonstrated their ability to collaborate to increase public understanding of the biomedical and health-related sciences through the SEPA project, entitled EH-STEP, supported through August 31, 2003. These diverse partners will ensure that the project is translatable nationwide. A public health science education model will be developed, implemented and evaluated. The model comprises six components: health observances, needs assessment, action mechanisms, public health science education materials, scientist involvement and program evaluation. Program components will capitalize on three established national health observances (Cancer Control Month, Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month and Lead Poisoning Prevention Week) to impact the target audiences (students, teacher, general public). A needs assessment will document the target audiences' perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of biomedical and health-related sciences. Utilizing the diverse experiences and expertise of this established network of NIEHS Centers and the needs assessment, the Health Observances & Public Education (HOPE) Partnership will develop public health science education materials that will be disseminated through action mechanisms: community forums, formal education, informal education, media, non-profit organizations and science centers/museums. Scientists will be involved throughout the initiative including the development of materials and the implementation of the action mechanisms. Formative and summative measures will be used to analyze all aspects, including overall project effectiveness.
