DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With NIH funding over the last couple of decades, Sociometrics has developed research-based resources aimed at empowering health professionals to: (1) replicate efficacious programs for preventing HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, and adolescent pregnancy; and (2) use science-based health education and evaluation tools. These science-based resources have recently been put online as two web libraries: HIV RAP (HIV Resources for Researchers and Practitioners) and Teen Pregnancy RAP (Teen Pregnancy and STI Resources for Researchers and Practitioners). Each of the resources in HIV RAP and Teen Pregnancy RAP is available by pay-as-you-go download. We have just started to investigate the feasibility of making the RAP libraries available by institutional subscription as well. Translation research suggests that appropriate use of science-based prevention resources such as those in HIV RAP and Teen Pregnancy RAP is maximized when the resources are accompanied by training, technical assistance, and other support mechanisms for using the resources and adapting them to local needs and context. In the proposed Small Business Innovation Research project, HIV/AIDS Training, Technical Assistance, and Information Exchange Centers (HATTIE), Sociometrics will make all the science-based resources in HIV RAP and Teen Pregnancy RAP available to local public health departments. The resources will be accompanied by innovative training, technical assistance, and information exchange products to be developed in collaboration with NACCHO, the National Association of County and City Health Officials. NACCHO is the professional organization that represents the approximately 3,000 local health departments in the U.S. During Phase I the project will develop prototypes for the three components of HATTIE: (1) an online Training Center that will utilize web conferencing software to present a curriculum of regularly scheduled courses and additional ad hoc workshops on effective use of science-based resources such as those found in the HIV and Teen Pregnancy RAP libraries, (2) an online and phone-in Technical Assistance Center to provide guidance and advice on questions such as how to adapt online resources to the local context, and (3) an online Information Exchange Center to provide a forum for local health departments to share experiences and advice. To assist in prototype development, we will conduct an initial needs assessment of NACCHO members using an online questionnaire data collection and analysis tool. The online questionnaire will gather information about the needs and assets of local health departments for accessing online prevention resources and using them effectively; about the preferred content and formats for training, technical assistance and information exchange; and about the perceived barriers to using online prevention resources. Subsequent to prototype development, Sociometrics and NACCHO will conduct usability tests of the three prototype products in the local health departments of NACCHO affiliates in two major cities, two large suburban counties, and two small rural counties. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE HIV/AIDS Training, Technical Assistance, and Information Exchange Centers (HATTIE) will provide training, technical assistance, and information exchange resources to facilitate the wide and effective adoption and use of research-based HIV and teen pregnancy/STI health education resources. The resources will include efficacious prevention programs; tools for conducting culturally competent program planning, implementation, and evaluation; a complete HIV/AIDS teaching kit; and multimedia health education tools. HATTIE will promote the translation to effective practice of NIH-sponsored prevention research in the HIV and adolescent reproductive health fields. HATTIE will promote the appropriate use of science-based resources by local city and county health officials, addressing the following goal of Healthy People 2010: "Increase the proportion of Tribal, State, and local public health agencies that ... teach employees to use the Internet and other electronic information systems to apply data and information to public health practice."

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的几十年里，在NIH的资助下，Sociometrics开发了基于研究的资源，旨在授权卫生专业人员：(1)复制有效的预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病、性传播感染和青少年怀孕的项目；(2)运用科学的健康教育和评价工具。这些以科学为基础的资源最近作为两个网络图书馆放在网上：HIV RAP（研究人员和从业人员的HIV资源）和青少年怀孕RAP（研究人员和从业人员的青少年怀孕和性传播疾病资源）。艾滋病毒RAP和青少年怀孕RAP中的每个资源都可以通过付费下载获得。我们刚刚开始调查通过机构订阅提供RAP库的可行性。翻译研究表明，当这些资源伴随着培训、技术援助和其他支持机制来使用这些资源并使其适应当地需求和环境时，以科学为基础的预防资源（如艾滋病毒RAP和少女怀孕RAP）的适当使用才能最大限度地发挥作用。在拟议的小企业创新研究项目、艾滋病毒/艾滋病培训、技术援助和信息交流中心（HATTIE）中，社会计量学将向当地公共卫生部门提供艾滋病毒RAP和少女怀孕RAP中所有基于科学的资源。在提供资源的同时，还将与全国县和市卫生官员协会合作开发创新培训、技术援助和信息交流产品。NACCHO是代表美国约3000个地方卫生部门的专业组织。在第一阶段，该项目将为HATTIE的三个组成部分开发原型：(1)一个在线培训中心，将利用网络会议软件，提供定期安排的课程和额外的特别研讨会，以有效利用基于科学的资源，如艾滋病毒和青少年怀孕RAP库中的资源；(2)一个在线和电话技术援助中心，就如何使在线资源适应当地情况等问题提供指导和建议；(3)建立网上信息交流中心，为地方卫生部门提供交流经验和建议的论坛。为了协助原型开发，我们将使用在线问卷调查数据收集和分析工具对NACCHO成员进行初步需求评估。在线调查问卷将收集有关地方卫生部门获取在线预防资源并有效利用这些资源的需求和资产的信息；关于培训、技术援助和信息交流的优先内容和形式；以及使用在线预防资源的感知障碍。在原型开发之后，Sociometrics和NACCHO将在两个主要城市、两个大的郊区县和两个小的农村县的NACCHO附属机构的当地卫生部门对三种原型产品进行可用性测试。
