DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over half of all deaths before age 65 can now be attributed to lifestyle factors. In order to reduce the annual incidence of lifestyle-based causes of death, it is essential to understand the contribution of lifestyle factors that are potentially under the control of the individual and those that may be amenable to social, medical or pharmacological interventions. The health risk appraisal (HRA) can be an important tool in assessing the impact of these precursors of disease and trauma. Additionally, the 2009 National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) release of their accreditation requirements for health plans, preferred provider organizations, managed care organizations and health and wellness promotion programs requires the administration of HRA's as part of the accreditation process. These new standards will stimulate broad utilization of the HRA and call for a systematic review/updating of currently available instruments. Similarly, the transformation of many primary care practices into patient centered medical homes will also stimulate the need for instruments and tools that can help facilitate provider-patient communication and patient education. However, little is known regarding the uptake, usability, acceptability and effectiveness of HRA's in diverse primary care settings. What information we do have is based on very few managed care settings, employer wellness programs and insurance plans among mostly white, middle-class, employed individuals. In short, there is no information, to our knowledge, regarding the use of HRA's among racial/ethnicity minority groups, the uninsured, the poor, or those with limited health literacy. We also know of no studies regarding provider or patient satisfaction with HRA's, yet alone the effects of HRA's on patient health outcomes or behavior/lifestyle changes. All of these are important research questions that need answered, but require one critically important tool-a proven HRA that is inexpensive and easy to field in a wide variety of primary care settings, some resource rich and others resource poor. This application is a first step in filling all of these knowledge gaps. To advance the science and knowledge regarding the use of HRA's in primary care clinical settings we propose the following aims: Aim 1: To re-engineer the Healthier People Network's Health Risk Appraisal (HPN-HRA) tool to a multi-platform, social-network-friendly, open-source code, and standards compliant software product, for use in the public domain either directly by users or indirectly by third-party applications via an Application Programmers Interface (API). Aim 2: To update current mortality risk algorithms, create new chronic disease and accidental death risk algorithms, and update the patient and provider reports in the HPN-HRA to provide estimates and recommendations based on systematic reviews of current scientific findings. Aim 3: To engage a local primary care practice based research network (PBRN) in the design and pilot testing of the new HRA as a prelude to a rigorous evaluation of the HRA in primary care to be carried out in a subsequent study.

描述(申请人提供)：现在超过一半的65岁以前的死亡可以归因于生活方式因素。为了减少每年因生活方式引起的死亡原因的发生率，有必要了解可能由个人控制的生活方式因素以及那些可能受到社会、医疗或药物干预的生活方式因素的作用。健康风险评估(HRA)可以成为评估这些疾病和创伤前兆的影响的重要工具。此外，2009年国家质量保证委员会(NCQA)发布了对健康计划、首选提供者组织、管理性护理组织以及健康和健康促进计划的认证要求，要求将HRA的管理作为认证过程的一部分。这些新标准将促进对人权评估的广泛利用，并要求对现有文书进行系统审查/更新。同样，许多初级保健实践转变为以患者为中心的医疗之家也将刺激对有助于促进提供者与患者沟通和患者教育的仪器和工具的需求。然而，关于HRA在不同的初级保健环境中的摄取率、可用性、可接受性和有效性，人们知之甚少。我们所掌握的信息是基于极少的管理性医疗设置、雇主健康计划和保险计划，这些人大多是白人、中产阶级和有工作的个人。简而言之，据我们所知，没有关于在种族/族裔少数群体、没有保险的人、穷人或健康素养有限的人中使用HRA的信息。我们也不知道关于提供者或患者对HRA的满意度的研究，更不用说HRA对患者健康结果或行为/生活方式改变的影响了。所有这些都是需要回答的重要研究问题，但需要一个极其重要的工具-经过验证的HRA，它成本低廉，易于在各种初级保健环境中开展工作，一些资源丰富，另一些资源匮乏。这项申请是填补所有这些知识空白的第一步。为了促进在初级保健临床环境中使用HRA的科学和知识，我们提出了以下目标：目标1：将更健康的人网络的健康风险评估(HPN-HRA)工具重新设计为多平台、社交网络友好、开放源代码和符合标准的软件产品，供用户直接使用或通过应用程序编程接口(API)由第三方应用程序间接使用。目的2：更新当前的死亡风险算法，创建新的慢性病和意外死亡风险算法，并更新HPN-HRA中的患者和提供者报告，以提供基于对当前科学发现的系统审查的估计和建议。目的3：让当地基于初级保健实践的研究网络(PBRN)参与新HRA的设计和试点测试，作为在后续研究中对初级保健HRA进行严格评估的前奏。
