Studies of space-time activity patterns and fear in urban landscapes

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是一个为期5年的独立科学家奖（K02），以追求损伤流行病学的重点研究议程。申请人是时空青少年风险研究（STARS, R01AA014944）的一项R01资助的接受者。STARS是一项正在进行的以人群为基础的青少年（10-19岁）病例对照研究，旨在确定饮酒和在酒精销售点附近如何影响被枪击或其他武器袭击的风险。这项K02申请的目的是完成对申请人目前R01补助金数据的新研究分析，以及培训申请人，以提高申请人在空间和时间（时空）方面分析活动模式数据的现有技能。即将完成的研究将调查建成环境（社交障碍、身体障碍和酒精出口）对青少年被攻击恐惧的影响，这似乎对健康有深远的负面影响，但鉴于研究这一问题的动态令人生畏，人们对其了解甚少。该K02奖将为研究者提供所需的保护时间，以培养创造性想法，补充他的培训，并在该研究领域进行富有成效的研究。在奖励期结束时，他将成为损伤流行病学领域的独立科学家，并将取得几项重要进展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a 5-year Independent Scientist Award (K02) to pursue a focused research agenda in injury epidemiology. The applicant is the recipient of one R01 grant entitled the Space-Time Adolescent Risk Study (STARS, R01AA014944). The STARS is an ongoing population-based case-control study of adolescents (10-19 years) to determine how consuming alcohol and being near alcohol outlets affects the risk of being assaulted by gunshot or other weapon. The objective of this K02 application is to complete new research analyses of data from the applicant's current R01 grant as well as training to enhance the applicant's existing skills in analyzing activity pattern data with spatial and temporal (space-time) aspects. The studies that will be completed will investigator the impact of the built environment (social disorder, physical disorder, and alcohol outlets) on adolescents' fear of being assaulted, which appears to have profound negative effects on health but is very poorly understood given that the dynamics of studying this issue are daunting. This K02 award will provide the investigator the protected time needed to foster creative ideas and supplement his training and to be productive conducting research n this area of study. At the completion of the award period he will be firmly established as an independent scientist in injury epidemiology and will have made several important advances.
