DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Health Sciences and Technology Academy (HSTA) of West Virginia University Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center submits this proposal with the novel approach of using Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) focused on metabolic syndrome and prevention as the format, to bring together biomedical researchers and high school teachers to disseminate science education to 9th-12th grade students from medically underserved communities. The objective is to create a novel design to improve health literacy and biomedical science education in hard to reach under-served Appalachian populations. Critical components of CBPR will be embedded in a population-appropriate and age-appropriate context, with inquiry based experiences using metabolic syndrome as the medical focus and incorporating life-style interventions centered on nutrition and exercise. Students and teachers will partner with scientists in metabolic syndrome and prevention research projects involving life-style interventions, in which STUDENTS transmit their new knowledge and understanding to their families and to medically underserved communities. Underrepresented students will be encouraged to pursue careers in biomedical fields. Students leading in the education and community involvement will aid in dismantling barriers between researchers, clinicians, and patients from under-represented populations; and between researchers and potential under-represented participants in CBPR. This proposal will focus on the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1: To provide summer teacher professional development to 12 teachers/year while introducing CBPR opportunities to 160 11th grade students participating in a summer science enrichment experience. Specific Aim 2: To provide summer science enrichment to 160 11th grade under-represented students a year in "learning by doing" as they engage in biomedical labs working with scientists on different aspects of the metabolic syndrome. Specific Aim 3: To provide academic year science enrichment to 160 11th graders and 100 additional under-represented 9th -12th grade students/year in HSTA clubs across the state. The outcomes of the proposed project are to expand on the past grant's success of base-line data gathering to data gathering with interventions, and to understand a new broader topic-metabolic syndrome. The impact of this proposal is to make health information and prevention strategies easily understandable and interesting to under-served populations, and to improve the health of West Virginians through education on metabolic syndrome and its prevention.

描述（由申请人提供）：西弗吉尼亚大学健康科学与技术学院（HSTA）罗伯特C。伯德健康科学中心提交了这一建议，采用以社区为基础的预防性研究（CBPR）为重点的新方法，以代谢综合征和预防为形式，将生物医学研究人员和高中教师聚集在一起，向来自医疗服务不足社区的9 - 12年级学生传播科学教育。我们的目标是创建一个新的设计，以提高健康素养和生物医学科学教育难以达到服务不足的阿巴拉契亚人口。CBPR的关键组成部分将嵌入适合人群和年龄的背景下，以代谢综合征为医疗重点，并结合以营养和运动为中心的生活方式干预措施，以调查为基础的经验。学生和教师将与代谢综合征和预防研究项目的科学家合作，这些项目涉及生活方式干预措施，在这些干预措施中，学生将他们的新知识和理解传递给他们的家庭和医疗服务不足的社区。将鼓励代表性不足的学生从事生物医学领域的职业。学生领导的教育和社区参与将有助于拆除研究人员，临床医生和患者之间的障碍，从代表性不足的人群;和研究人员和潜在的代表性不足的参与者之间的CBPR。具体目标1：为12名教师/年提供暑期教师专业发展，同时向160名参加暑期科学丰富体验的11年级学生介绍CBPR机会。具体目标二：为160名11年级代表不足的学生提供暑期科学充实，每年“边做边学”，因为他们在生物医学实验室与科学家一起研究代谢综合征的不同方面。具体目标3：提供学年科学丰富160 11年级学生和100个额外的代表性不足的9 - 12年级学生/年在全州HSTA俱乐部。建议的项目的成果是扩大过去的资助的成功基线数据收集与干预措施的数据收集，并了解一个新的更广泛的主题代谢综合征。这项建议的影响是使卫生信息和预防战略易于理解和服务不足的人口感兴趣，并通过代谢综合征及其预防教育改善西弗吉尼亚州的健康。
