DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Julie A. Wright, PhD, a behavior change scientist, is applying for a career development (K07) award in cancer prevention, control, behavioral and population sciences to develop the skills necessary to be an independent investigator in the field of behavioral informatics with a concentration in cancer prevention interventions. Her goal is to develop a specialty in designing behavioral informatics interventions which are delivered in primary care and target behaviors related to energy balance, i.e., healthy diet and regular physical activity. Career Development Plan. The career award will enable Dr. Wright to achieve her goals by advancing her expertise in three areas: 1) primary-care based interventions, 2) informatics, and 3) qualitative research methods. The development plan consists of formal course work, annual scientific meetings, and regular mentoring and consultation with a multidisciplinary mentoring team of leading experts in the three target areas. Research plan. Multiple studies have shown that the risk of some cancers can be reduced by consuming a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy body weight. To help reduce the burden of cancer, multi-level, multi-behavior intervention research is needed. Primary care is one level that can be used to educate and empower parents and their children to develop lifelong healthy habits related to energy-balance. The present study will focus on developing a prototype of a computerized office-based system called TIDE (Tailored Informatics for Diet and Exercise) which will assist pediatricians in promoting energy balance behaviors which are aligned with the expert recommendations, e.g. American Academy of Pediatrics. There are three aims: Aim 1 is to do formative research for the development of a computerized system that can improve the patient-physician experience related to counseling on energy balance behaviors; Aim 2 is to develop a prototype of an office-based system, TIDE, which will be integrated into an existing electronic health records system to deliver tailored print material and facilitate brief counseling by the pediatrician; and Aim 3 is to test the feasibility and acceptability of TIDE. The goal of the research plan is to do the formative work which will lead ultimately to the submission of a R01 research proposal in the area of cancer prevention interventions that target energy-balance related behaviors.

描述（由申请人提供）：Julie A.赖特博士是一名行为改变科学家，正在申请癌症预防，控制，行为和人口科学的职业发展（K 07）奖，以培养成为行为信息学领域独立调查员所需的技能，并专注于癌症预防干预措施。她的目标是发展一个专业，设计行为信息学干预措施，这些干预措施在初级保健和与能量平衡相关的目标行为中提供，即，健康饮食和定期体育活动。职业发展计划。职业奖将使赖特博士通过提高她在三个领域的专业知识来实现她的目标：1）基于初级保健的干预措施，2）信息学，3）定性研究方法。该发展计划包括正式的课程工作、年度科学会议以及与三个目标领域的主要专家组成的多学科指导小组进行定期指导和协商。研究计划。多项研究表明，一些癌症的风险可以通过健康的饮食，定期进行体育活动和保持健康的体重来降低。为了帮助减轻癌症负担，需要多层次、多行为的干预研究。初级保健是一个层次，可用于教育和赋权父母及其子女养成与能量平衡有关的终身健康习惯。本研究的重点是开发一个基于办公室的计算机化系统TIDE（为饮食和运动量身定制的信息学）的原型，该系统将帮助儿科医生促进与专家建议（例如美国儿科学会）一致的能量平衡行为。有三个目标：目的1是做形成性研究的计算机系统的发展，可以改善病人的经验，医生的咨询有关的能量平衡行为;目的2是开发一个原型的办公室为基础的系统，TIDE，这将是集成到现有的电子健康记录系统，提供定制的打印材料，并方便简短的咨询儿科医生;目的3是检验TIDE的可行性和可接受性。研究计划的目标是做形成性工作，最终导致在癌症预防干预领域提交R 01研究提案，目标是能量平衡相关行为。
