DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The potent physical, psychological, and social consequences of drug use by college students are as serious as those associated with alcohol use (if not more so), and underscore the need for prevention programming that reaches a majority of students. Beyond drug use, college students face health risks from alcohol use, tobacco use, unhealthy diet and inadequate physical activity, stress, and unsafe sexual behavior. To address drug use and other health risks Inflexxion has developed a comprehensive college health risk intervention called MyStudentBody.com (MSB). MSB is an innovative group of Web-based programs specifically targeting college students that aims to reduce health risks by providing tailored health information in the critical areas of drugs, alcohol, STDs, tobacco, stress, and nutrition, and physical activity. Many schools measure student health risk behavior, but very few use systematic means of measuring the efficacy of health risk programming. Empirical findings are often not used to support intervention strategies or measure outcomes, due in part to the lack of reliable and timely methods of gathering data to support campus administrators and health professionals in this endeavor. There is a critical need for effective tools to gather data on the effectiveness of campus health initiatives and measure outcomes. The proposed product, Campus Benchmark, will be a key component in Inflexxion's effort to build a comprehensive prevention infrastructure for college campuses. The product will provide school administrators and health professionals with a reliable, and user-controlled method for measuring the efficacy and outcomes of prevention programming over time, through a flexible, highly customizable platform. Schools will be able to assess their students risk behaviors, on a user-determined schedule, and store, aggregate, and present data graphically so administrators can utilize survey results without need of a statistician or research analyst, and in a way that protects the privacy of the students. An important innovation of Campus Benchmark will be the building of a large, national database through which participating institutions can upload and compare their data with a de-identified data set. With nearly 750,000 students currently using MSB, this database will become a significant resource for the field of college health research. This product will help Inflexxion provide the most comprehensive and innovative college health programming available in the marketplace. By providing the critical links between the scientifically-based intervention methods developed and validated though our MSB research, and the program implementation component that is currently being developed through the Campus Task Force project, Campus Benchmark will allow Inflexxion to offer the college health market a complete, integrated solution, linking intervention (MSB), evaluation (Campus Benchmark), and program development and dissemination (Campus Task Force).NARRATIVE Public Health Relevance: Campus Benchmark program will help Inflexxion provide the most comprehensive and innovative health risk prevention programming for the college health market. By providing the critical link between the scientifically- based intervention methods developed and validated though our MSB RCTs, and the program implementation component that is currently being developed through the Campus Task Force project, Campus Benchmark will allow Inflexxion to offer the college health market a comprehensive, integrated solution, linking intervention (MSB), evaluation (Campus Benchmark), and program development and dissemination (Campus Task Force).

描述（由申请人提供）：大学生使用毒品的强有力的身体，心理和社会后果与酒精使用相关的后果一样严重（如果不是更严重的话），并强调了预防规划的必要性，以达到大多数学生。除了吸毒，大学生还面临着酗酒、吸烟、不健康饮食和体育活动不足、压力和不安全性行为等健康风险。为了解决药物使用和其他健康风险，Inflexxion开发了一个名为MyStudentBody.com（MSB）的综合性大学健康风险干预措施。MSB是一个专门针对大学生的基于网络的创新项目组，旨在通过在药物、酒精、性病、烟草、压力、营养和体育活动等关键领域提供量身定制的健康信息来减少健康风险。许多学校测量学生的健康风险行为，但很少使用系统的方法来测量健康风险规划的有效性。实证研究结果往往不用于支持干预策略或衡量结果，部分原因是缺乏可靠和及时的收集数据的方法，以支持校园管理人员和卫生专业人员在这奋进的努力。迫切需要有效的工具来收集有关校园健康举措有效性的数据并衡量结果。拟议的产品，校园基准，将是一个关键组成部分，在Inflexxion的努力，建立一个全面的预防基础设施，为大学校园。该产品将通过一个灵活、高度可定制的平台，为学校管理人员和卫生专业人员提供一种可靠的、用户控制的方法，用于衡量预防方案的效力和成果。学校将能够按照用户确定的时间表评估学生的风险行为，并以图形方式存储，汇总和呈现数据，以便管理员可以在不需要统计学家或研究分析师的情况下利用调查结果，并以保护学生隐私的方式。Campus Benchmark的一个重要创新是建立一个大型的国家数据库，参与机构可以通过该数据库上传数据，并将其数据与去识别数据集进行比较。目前有近750，000名学生使用MSB，该数据库将成为大学健康研究领域的重要资源。该产品将帮助Inflexxion提供市场上最全面和创新的大学健康计划。通过提供通过我们的MSB研究开发和验证的基于科学的干预方法之间的关键联系，以及目前正在通过校园工作队项目开发的计划实施组件，Campus Benchmark将允许Inflexxion为大学健康市场提供完整的综合解决方案，链接干预（MSB），评估（校园基准）和方案开发和传播（校园工作队）。 公共卫生相关性：校园基准计划将帮助Inflexxion为大学健康市场提供最全面和创新的健康风险预防计划。通过提供基于科学的干预方法之间的关键联系，通过我们的MSB RCT开发和验证，以及目前正在通过校园工作队项目开发的计划实施组件，校园基准将允许Inflexxion为大学健康市场提供全面，综合的解决方案，链接干预（MSB），评估（校园基准），和程序开发和传播（校园工作队）。
