DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Out-of-school time (OST) programs have been shown to have positive effects on young people's cognitive, social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health outcomes (e.g., Durlak and Weissberg, 2007; Lauer, Akiba, Wilkerson, Apthorp, Snow, and Martin-Glenn, 2006; Little and Harris, 2003; Society for Research on Child Development, 2008). The prevalence of OST programs, now serving over 6.5 million of the nation's children, and the increase in federal and state funds for such programs, comes with a concomitant demand for high quality and evidence-based programs that can realize the full potential of this important developmental context (Afterschool Alliance, 2004; SRCD, 2008; U.S. Department of Education, 2001). The overall objective of the proposed project is to identify and provide OST professionals and others who work with children with easy access to OST programs shown to be efficacious in improving young people's cognitive, social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health outcomes. Toward this end, the primary aims are to develop a comprehensive set of replication resources including: 1. ASPARA (After School Program Archive to Raise Achievement), a program archive of efficacious OST programs, consisting of standardized replication kits containing all the materials necessary to replicate an efficacious program in a new site, such as teachers' guides, curricula, training videos, parent materials, activity handouts, and original evaluation instruments; 2. An Online Program Selection Tool to guide OST professionals in selecting the best efficacious program in ASPARA for their service context based on practical criteria, such as the population being targeted, program goals, and program setting; and 3. A Multimedia Professional Development Tutorial to support the implementation of efficacious programs by providing information on the OST context and research base, program selection and adaptation, and approaches to evaluation. Project staff will utilize a sequenced, iterative process to identify and package efficacious OST programs and develop the ancillary resources to facilitate their use. Collectively, the resources developed under the auspices of this project will increase ease of access to efficacious OST programs for purposes of broader replication and assessment, as well as professional development for OST staff faced with implementation of such programs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The resources developed under the auspices of this project will provide OST professionals with easy access to OST programs shown to be efficacious in improving young people's cognitive, social-emotional, behavioral, and health outcomes and facilitate the implementation and re-evaluation of these programs in new contexts.

描述（由申请人提供）：校外时间（OST）计划已被证明对年轻人的认知，社会情感，行为和身体健康结果有积极影响（例如，Durlak和Weissberg，2007年;劳尔、Akiba、Wilkerson、Apthorp、Snow和Martin-Glenn，2006年; Little和Harris，2003年;儿童发展研究学会，2008年）。课外培训方案的普及，目前为全国650多万儿童提供服务，联邦和州对此类方案的资金也在增加，随之而来的是对高质量和循证方案的需求，这些方案可以充分发挥这一重要发展背景的潜力（课外联盟，2004年; SRCD，2008年;美国教育部，2001年）。拟议项目的总体目标是确定和提供OST专业人员和其他儿童工作者，使他们能够轻松获得OST方案，这些方案在改善年轻人的认知、社会情感、行为和身体健康方面是有效的。为此，主要目标是开发一套全面的复制资源，包括：1。ASPARA（After School Program Archive to Raise Achievement），有效OST计划的计划档案，由标准化的复制工具包组成，其中包含在新网站复制有效计划所需的所有材料，如教师指南，课程，培训视频，家长材料，活动讲义和原始评估工具; 2.一个在线程序选择工具，用于指导OST专业人员根据实际标准（如目标人群、程序目标和程序设置）选择ASPARA中最有效的程序;以及3.一个多媒体专业发展平台，通过提供有关OST背景和研究基础、方案选择和适应以及评估方法的信息，支持有效方案的实施。项目工作人员将利用一个有序的、迭代的过程来确定和打包有效的OST计划，并开发辅助资源以促进其使用。总的来说，在该项目的主持下开发的资源将使人们更容易获得有效的开放源码软件方案，以便更广泛地复制和评估，并促进面临执行这些方案的开放源码软件工作人员的专业发展。 公共卫生相关性：在该项目主持下开发的资源将为开放源码软件专业人员提供方便的开放源码软件方案，这些方案在改善年轻人的认知、社会情感、行为和健康结果方面有效，并促进在新的背景下实施和重新评估这些方案。
