DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): School settings provide important opportunities to influence the health of children and to address some of the inequalities in access to health promoting environments that lead to disparities in children's health. However, the list of evidence-based school health initiatives is limited, and there are many barriers to conducting research in school settings. In general, public schools do not have the resources to conduct the kind of research that is necessary to determine if school health initiatives are truly effective, and university researchers may not fully understand the "real world" determinants of student health. The goal of this initiative is to transform the way that health science research is conducted in public schools. Specifically, the project will build a sustainable, long term collaborative research infrastructure between the Seattle Public Schools (SPS) and the University of Washington (UW). Currently, SPS health leaders for nutrition, physical activity, health education and health services work in separate departments and use independent data systems. There is also minimal integration of the work of health leaders with the work of the district's Research Evaluation and Assessment unit. At the UW, the situation is similar; researchers conduct a number of federally supported health-related studies in SPS, but these initiatives are not coordinated across the UW's many schools and departments. This project will use a community-based participatory research approach to form mutually beneficial relationships between interdisciplinary researchers from UW, SPS, local philanthropic organizations, and community advocates. The first aim is to transform the research environments at SPS and UW by building collaborative skills and competencies for conducting coordinated and comprehensive school health research. This will be achieved by engaging and orienting stakeholders, building relationships that foster trust, and establishing a roadmap for ongoing action. The second aim is to build a sustainable health and wellness research infrastructure that will include 1) an ongoing Health Research Leadership Team with members across departments and disciplines at both SPS and UW, and 2) a Data Team that will establish methods for using the district's data for collaborative research. The third aim will be to develop and disseminate an action guide for health and wellness research. The action guide will be used by collaborative special interest research teams to formulate research questions and develop SPS-UW research proposals. The planning for this project was a joint effort between UW researchers and SPS staff; the project is designed to provide the kinds of research and evidence that school health leaders need to support their work. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Schools are an important setting to influence the health of children and youth. A wide variety of health and fitness-related initiatives are in place at public schools, yet schools and researchers lack the systems to measure their impact. This project will build a sustainable, long term collaborative research structure that can be used as a model by academic researchers and schools across the country.

描述（由申请人提供）：学校环境提供了重要的机会，影响儿童的健康，并解决一些不平等的机会，在获得健康促进环境，导致儿童的健康差距。然而，循证学校卫生举措清单有限，在学校环境中开展研究存在许多障碍。一般来说，公立学校没有资源进行必要的研究，以确定学校健康举措是否真正有效，大学研究人员可能不完全了解学生健康的“真实的世界”决定因素。该倡议的目标是改变公立学校进行健康科学研究的方式。具体而言，该项目将在西雅图公立学校（SPS）和华盛顿大学（UW）之间建立一个可持续的长期合作研究基础设施。目前，卫生和植物检疫局负责营养、体育活动、健康教育和卫生服务的卫生领导人在不同的部门工作，并使用独立的数据系统。卫生领导人的工作与该地区研究评价和评估股的工作之间的整合也很小。在华盛顿大学，情况类似;研究人员在SPS中进行了一些联邦政府支持的健康相关研究，但这些举措并没有在华盛顿大学的许多学校和部门之间协调。该项目将采用基于社区的参与式研究方法，在UW，SPS，当地慈善组织和社区倡导者的跨学科研究人员之间建立互利关系。第一个目标是通过建立协作技能和能力，进行协调和全面的学校健康研究，改变SPS和UW的研究环境。这将通过参与和引导利益相关者，建立促进信任的关系，并为持续的行动制定路线图来实现。第二个目标是建立一个可持续的健康和健康研究基础设施，其中包括1）一个正在进行的健康研究领导团队，成员来自SPS和UW的各个部门和学科，以及2）一个数据团队，将建立使用该地区的数据进行合作研究的方法。第三个目标将是制定和传播健康和保健研究行动指南。行动指南将用于合作的特殊兴趣研究小组，以制定研究问题，并制定SPS-UW的研究建议。该项目的规划是UW研究人员和SPS工作人员的共同努力;该项目旨在提供学校卫生领导者支持其工作所需的研究和证据。 公共卫生相关性：学校是影响儿童和青少年健康的重要场所。公立学校实施了各种各样的健康和健身相关举措，但学校和研究人员缺乏衡量其影响的系统。该项目将建立一个可持续的，长期的合作研究结构，可作为全国各地的学术研究人员和学校的典范。
