DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to allow 50% protected time for the PI to continue and build on her extant patient-oriented research program on oral-specific, health-related quality of life in children and their families and mentor junior faculty and students in research. The specific aims of her research include the following: 1. Continue to develop, evaluate, refine and validate a measure of pediatric OQOL (POQOL) for use with children and adolescents. This will include evaluation of feasibility, responsiveness to change and reliability. 2. For each of the four age-appropriate versions of the POQOL instrument, develop a comparable Spanish-Language version that is sensitive to cultural variations in the meanings of the concepts measured. 3. Explore potential sources of disparities in oral health by combining the POQOL assessments with other clinical, demographic and psychosocial measures. 4. Develop short-form measures of POQOL suitable for use as screening measures in pediatric medical practices, schools, and other sites. Using the research entailed in the specific aims as a platform for further studies and a rich source of data, the PI will mentor junior faculty and students in the responsible conduct of patient-oriented research. Specific topics covered with each mentee will include, but are not limited to the following: 1. ethical conduct in research and research writing; 2. conceptual underpinnings of research and the selection of an appropriate conceptual model; 3. research methods, including formulation of research questions and hypotheses, study design, sample selection and recruitment, selection and specification of outcome measures and independent variables, study procedures, data collection and management, and data analysis/interpretation; 4. preparation of manuscripts and their publication in peer-reviewed journals; and 5. preparations of posters and slide presentations to present to national, regional and local scientific meetings.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是为PI提供50%的保护时间，以继续并建立其现有的以患者为导向的研究项目，研究儿童及其家庭的口腔特定，健康相关的生活质量，并指导初级教师和学生进行研究。她的具体研究目的包括以下几点：1。继续开发、评估、完善和验证用于儿童和青少年的儿科生活质量测量（POQOL）。这将包括可行性评估、对变化的反应能力和可靠性。2. 对于POQOL工具的四个适合年龄的版本，开发一个可比较的西班牙语版本，该版本对所测概念含义的文化差异敏感。3. 通过将POQOL评估与其他临床、人口统计学和社会心理测量相结合，探索口腔健康差异的潜在来源。4. 制定POQOL的简短衡量标准，适用于儿科医疗实践、学校和其他场所的筛查措施。利用具体目标所涉及的研究作为进一步研究的平台和丰富的数据来源，PI将指导初级教师和学生负责地进行以患者为导向的研究。每个学员所涉及的具体主题将包括但不限于以下内容：研究和研究写作中的道德行为；2. 研究的概念基础和适当概念模型的选择；3. 研究方法，包括研究问题和假设的制定、研究设计、样本选择和招募、结果测量和自变量的选择和说明、研究程序、数据收集和管理以及数据分析/解释；4. 撰写稿件并在同行评审期刊上发表；和5。为国家、区域和地方科学会议准备海报和幻灯片。
