DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As atherosclerosis, obesity, and sedentary habits are known to be formed in childhood and adolescence, cardiovascular education among our youth today could have a major impact on reducing the incidence and prevalence of heart disease in the future. The Youth Take Heart (YTH) program is a collaborative project between the University of Washington Engineered Biomaterials Engineering Research Center (UWEB ERC), The Hope Heart Institute (HHI), and the Washington Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program. Phase I will focus on four main components: 1. Development/testing of an interactive Internet and CD-ROM program titled "Guy Simplant: The Heart" (the character "Guy Simplant" was created by UWEB to introduce biomaterials to middle school students) to teach about the anatomy and physiology of the heart, heart disease prevention, and newly emerging bioengineering solutions for repairing or replacing the heart; 2. Development of a corresponding cardiovascular health laboratory kit and curriculum module by leading health/science teachers and scientists; 3. Development of a YTH public lecture and parent training series and; 4. Creation of a YTH newsletter and brochures. Phase II will focus on the dissemination of the Guy Simplant game, curriculum, laboratory kits, newsletters, brochures, and implementation of the lecture series using a collaborative model of marketing and dissemination. We will primarily target approximately 5,000 MESA students (80% of whom are under-represented minorities and women). Our ultimate goal is to reach all youth in WA and the nation specifically targeting under-served populations who traditionally lack information on careers in math, engineering, medicine and science, and who are also at higher risk for cardiovascular disease. The project will fulfill WA State's Essential Academic Learning Requirements in Science and Health 1-3 and provide tools for understanding scientific concepts and principles. The project uses the federal government's Healthy People 2010 initiative guidelines, which challenge individuals and communities to take steps to ensure good health and a long life are enjoyed by all. Youth Take Heart will help enhance the cardiovascular health and quality of life for numerous students through the teaching of medical management, prevention, and control of risk factors for heart disease.

描述（由申请人提供）： 由于动脉粥样硬化、肥胖和久坐习惯都是在儿童和青少年时期形成的，今天我们年轻人的心血管教育可能对减少未来心脏病的发病率和患病率产生重大影响。Youth Take Heart（YTH）计划是华盛顿大学工程生物材料工程研究中心（UWEB ERC），希望心脏研究所（HHI）和华盛顿数学，工程，科学成就（梅萨）计划之间的合作项目。第一阶段将侧重于四个主要组成部分： 1.开发/测试名为“Guy Simplant：The Heart”的互动互联网和CD-ROM程序（UWEB创建了“Guy Simplant”字符，向中学生介绍生物材料），以教授心脏的解剖学和生理学、心脏病预防以及修复或替换心脏的新兴生物工程解决方案; 2.由领先的健康/科学教师和科学家开发相应的心血管健康实验室套件和课程模块; 3.发展青少年健康讲座及家长培训系列;及编写青年技术学院通讯和小册子。第二阶段将侧重于Guy Simplant游戏、课程、实验室工具包、通讯、小册子的传播，以及利用营销和传播的合作模式实施系列讲座。我们将主要针对大约5,000名梅萨学生（其中80%是代表性不足的少数民族和妇女）。我们的最终目标是覆盖西澳和全国的所有青年，特别针对那些传统上缺乏数学，工程，医学和科学职业信息的人群，以及那些患心血管疾病的风险较高的人群。该项目将满足西澳州立大学在科学和健康1-3的基本学术学习要求，并提供理解科学概念和原则的工具。该项目采用了联邦政府的“2010年健康人倡议”指导方针，该指导方针要求个人和社区采取措施，确保人人享有健康和长寿。Youth Take Heart将通过医疗管理，预防和控制心脏病风险因素的教学，帮助提高众多学生的心血管健康和生活质量。
