CHIDR Chatter: Translating community research data forclassroom use

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案开发了社区健康交互式数据资源（CHIDR）;一种传播干预措施，为教师和学生提供在线访问从让我们健康！教育和研究展览。通过CHIDR的数据收集公平和学生对当地数据的探索将被用作让学生了解个人和团体决策如何影响健康问题的方法。教师指导的数据探索将使学生能够亲眼目睹如何参与NIH资助的人类研究，以更好地了解人类健康。该项目将提高个人和课堂对与儿童肥胖有关的健康问题的认识，并促进技能，使学生能够利用有意义的数据，在学校和社区做出积极的改变。拟议项目的直接影响是开发基于网络的数据可视化工具和资源库的基础设施，这些工具和资源库可免费提供给公众，包括教师， 学生、决策者和社区卫生团体。CHIDR将利用已经成功的让我们健康！该计划旨在提供一个基于网络的资源，在该资源中，可以使用准确的、特定区域的数据来做出改善公共卫生的个人和政策决定。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal develops the Community Health Interactive Data Resource (CHIDR); a dissemination intervention that provides teachers and students with online access to community-specific research data generated from the Let's Get Healthy! education and research exhibit. The data-gathering fair and student exploration of local data through CHIDR will be used as a method of engaging students in understanding how personal and group decisions can impact heath issues. Teacher-guided exploration of data will enable students to see first-hand how participation in an NIH-funded human research study can be used to better understand human health. This project will raise individual and classroom awareness about health issues related to childhood obesity as well as promote skills that enable students to use meaningful data to make positive changes in their school and community. The immediate impact of the proposed project develops the infrastructure for a web-based data visualization tool and resource library that is freely available to the public, including teachers, students, policy makers and community health groups. CHIDR would leverage the already successful Let's Get Healthy! program to provide a web-based resource where accurate, region-specific data could be used to enable personal and policy decisions that improve public health.
