DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In a previous SEPA grant, we established a highly successful partnership between the UCSD School of Medicine and Helix High School, a San Diego urban school. We now propose to educate Helix students and their families about the value of clinical research as an approach to address the low enrollment of minorities in clinical research studies and clinical trials; previous studies have shown that a lack of knowledge and appreciation of clinical research is a major barrier for minority groups to participate in clinical studies. The Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Program assists educationally disadvantaged high school students achieve a college education. Since its inception in San Diego over 20 years ago, it has been highly successful, and has been disseminated to schools throughout the country. It uses an interactive format to teach skills, concentrating on reading, writing, speaking, and inquiry; the content of the curriculum is left largely to the discretion of the teacher. We hypothesize that the AVID program is an ideal opportunity to educate students about clinical research, and simultaneously increase their interest in health-related careers. Phase I of the project will have four major components. First, we will integrate clinical research topics into the AVID curriculum. Seven school of medicine faculty, each with different expertise and each actively involved in clinical research, will provide content resumes on various clinical research topics. The resumes will be converted to AVID class lesson plans by two experienced Helix teachers. The lessons will be taught to about 40 eleventh grade students each year. Second, the AVID students will spend a day in the UCSD General Clinical Research Center and the Clinical Trials Center, and will actively participate in several ongoing research protocols. Third, about 10 students will engage in a clinical research internship each summer; And fourth, the summer intern students will educate their families and friends about clinical research through evening seminars. A control group at a well-matched sister high school will receive the normal AVID curriculum. Program effectiveness will be evaluated by pre- and post-intervention tests and questionnaires that evaluate knowledge about clinical research and attitudes towards clinical research. During Phase II, the program will be disseminated initially to high schools in the Southern California AVID Region IX area, which includes Imperial, Orange, and San Diego Counties, and later to AVID schools nationwide; Dissemination will occur via an on-line mechanism, monthly workshops, and an annual summer conference.

描述(由申请人提供)： 在之前的SEPA拨款中，我们在加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学院和圣地亚哥城市学校Helix高中之间建立了非常成功的合作伙伴关系。我们现在建议对Helix学生及其家庭进行关于临床研究价值的教育，以此作为解决少数族裔参加临床研究研究和临床试验的低入学率的一种方法；以前的研究表明，缺乏对临床研究的了解和欣赏是少数群体参与临床研究的主要障碍。通过个人决心促进(AVID)计划帮助受教育困难的高中生完成大学教育。自20多年前在圣地亚哥成立以来，它取得了极大的成功，并已在全国各地的学校传播。它使用互动的形式教授技能，专注于阅读、写作、口语和探究；课程内容在很大程度上由教师自行决定。我们假设Avid计划是一个理想的机会来教育学生有关临床研究的知识，同时增加他们对健康相关职业的兴趣。该项目的第一阶段将包括四个主要组成部分。首先，我们将把临床研究课题纳入Avid课程。七个医学院教员，每个人都有不同的专业知识，每个人都积极参与临床研究，将提供不同临床研究课题的内容简历。这些简历将由两名经验丰富的Helix老师转换为Aved课堂教学计划。这些课程每年将教给大约40名十一年级的学生。其次，狂热的学生将在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的普通临床研究中心和临床试验中心呆上一天，并将积极参与几项正在进行的研究方案。第三，每年暑期将有大约10名学生参加临床研究实习；第四，暑期实习生将通过晚上的研讨会向家人和朋友宣传临床研究。在一所匹配良好的姊妹高中的控制组将接受正常的Avid课程。计划的有效性将通过干预前后的测试和问卷进行评估，这些测试和问卷评估有关临床研究的知识和对临床研究的态度。在第二阶段，该计划将首先向包括帝国、奥兰治和圣地亚哥县在内的南加州Avid Region IX地区的高中传播，然后传播到全国各地的Avid学校；传播将通过在线机制、每月研讨会和年度夏季会议进行。
