DISSEMINATION AND ADOPTION OF SCIENCE- BASED PREVENTION

说明（由申请人提供）： 预防研究中心（PRC）的目标是将PRC的科学发现纳入预防酒精领域的政策制定者和从业者的理解和实践中。PRC已经开发并将继续开发研究成果，实施工具和研究方法，这些研究方法对酒精政策，酒精消费和酒精问题流行病学和预防领域的政策制定者，从业者和公众具有广泛的实用性。这些材料只有纳入政策和实践中才有用。该部分的目标是：（1）传播直接适用于预防酒精问题的政策和实践的相关科学发现、方案设计、指南、手册和研究方法，（2）向预防政策制定者和从业者以及公众更多地传播科学预防工具和战略，以及（3）支持在实践中采用以科学为基础的预防战略。对这一部分的资助将使项目审查委员会能够将现有和未来的调查结果和工具转化为对各种受众有用的材料。监测和测量系统将 实施以跟踪PRC材料的传播和采用。教育活动 这一组成部分将是继续在科学领域出版研究成果的补充。 期刊科学成果的传播和采用往往面临严重障碍。为了帮助避免和克服这些障碍，这一构成部分将利用有目标受众代表参与的互动传播进程。将选出一个核心咨询小组和特设审查小组，由决策者、从业人员和一般公众的关键信息把关人组成，并参与这一组成部分的所有方面。有了这些顾问，项目审查委员会将选择关于成功预防方案关键组成部分的调查结果，并将其转化为目标受众能够理解和应用于其工作的格式。将在从业人员、决策者以及一般民众和公民团体中激发对项目审查委员会研究成果以及其他预防研究成果和预防工具的需求。将为特定的受众选择传播地点，包括一个传播网站、光盘、录像带、 会议和书面材料。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal for the dissemination component of the Prevention Research Center (PRC) is to increase the incorporation of PRC scientific findings into the understanding and practice of policy-makers and practitioners in the alcohol prevention field. PRC has developed and will continue to develop research findings, implementation tools, and research methods that have broad utility to policy-makers, practitioners, and the general public in the areas of alcohol policy, alcohol consumption, and alcohol problem epidemiology and prevention. These materials can be useful only if incorporated into policy and practice. The aims of this Component are to: (1) disseminate relevant scientific findings, program designs, guides, manuals, and research methodologies that have direct applicability to policy and practice in alcohol problem prevention, (2) increase the diffusion of scientific prevention tools and strategies to prevention policy-makers and practitioners, and the general public, and (3) support the adoption of scientifically-based prevention strategies into actual practice. The funding of this Component will enable PRC to transform existing and future findings and tools into materials that will be useful to a variety of audiences. A monitoring and measurement system will be implemented to track the diffusion and adoption of PRC materials. The activities of the education component will be in addition to a continuation of the publication of research findings in scientific journals. The diffusion and adoption of scientific findings often confronts serious barriers. To help avoid and overcome these barriers, this component will utilize an interactive dissemination process that involves representatives of target audiences. A core advisory panel and ad hoc review panels made up of key information gatekeepers for policy-makers, practitioners, and the general public will be selected and involved in all aspects of the component. With these advisors, PRC will select findings regarding critical components of successful prevention programs and translate them into formats that target audiences can understand and apply in their work. The demand for PRC's research findings as well as other prevention research findings and prevention tools will be stimulated among practitioners, policy makers, and in the general population and citizen groups. Venues for dissemination will be selected for the specific audience and will include a dissemination web site, CD ROMs, videos, presentations at conferences, and written materials.
