JHU-IKU Mobile Health for Child Injury Prevention in Malaysia (M-CHILD)

描述（由申请人提供）：马来西亚，像其他低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）一样，面临着越来越多的儿童在家中或其周围环境中受伤的负担。与此同时，移动的电话的拥有和使用的广泛和不断增加为以低成本提供保健干预措施创造了一个有希望的途径。我们的目标是利用移动的技术的巨大潜力来减轻儿童伤害的负担。JHU-IKU M-CHILD方案的总体目标是通过可持续能力发展的创新模式，加强移动的卫生能力，以评估风险，并改善马来西亚儿童在家受伤的预防。我们的具体目标是：（1）开发一个移动健康工具，用于家庭风险评估和预防儿童受伤，这是马来西亚的一个关键国家优先事项，重点是可行的，可衡量的家庭干预措施。该工具将用于绘制5岁以下儿童受伤风险图，这将通过创新的数据驱动移动健康应用程序促进减少灾害干预措施（MAP-CHILD应用程序）;（2）在马来西亚进行MAP-CHILD试点测试，以评估家庭的数据质量和用户可操作性;以及（3）在公共卫生研究所（IKU）建立一个核心研究小组，专注于使用和整合mHealth进行公共卫生研究和培训在马来西亚，通过一个短期的，结构化的，mHealth能力建设培训计划，从IKU的研究人员，其中将包括一个创新的电子辅导计划;在IKU的国内培训讲习班;和在线课程和网络研讨会从JHU在移动能力的优先主题。 JHU-IKU M-CHILD项目是移动健康在伤害预防领域的一种新应用，其科学原理已通过其他交付模式（如家访）有效。我们将开发一个简单的，“有趣的”，但创造性和严格的移动的手机应用程序，将防止在家里的风险，为儿童 因此，马来西亚儿童的伤害负担有所减轻。这项创新的好处将不仅限于儿童或马来西亚;一旦开发出来，该应用程序将很容易适应其他LMIC设置。 JHU-IKU M-CHILD计划还将改变IKU和马来西亚的移动健康环境。通过一种变革性的方法，我们将实施一种能力发展模式，利用移动能力围绕一个国家相关问题进行研究，同时我们两个机构合作开发一个地方相关数据库， 注册和损伤结局工具（目标1）。该登记将在一个地区实施，以评估其可行性，并发展中心评估和跟踪风险降低结果的能力（目标2）。我们将利用IKU对儿童伤害的教学和研究以及一般公共卫生的兴趣，以及JHU对全球和移动的健康的兴趣，加强马来西亚首屈一指的机构之一的M能力专业知识（目标3）。我们设想，该计划将导致一个专门用于在IKU和马来西亚的全球健康研究和培训中使用移动健康的计划的未来发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Malaysia, like other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), faces an increasing burden of childhood injuries occurring in the home or its immediate environment. At the same time, widespread and growing ownership and use of mobile phones has created a promising avenue for delivery of health interventions at low cost. We aim to harness the immense potential of mobile technologies to lessen the burden of child injuries. The overall goal of the JHU-IKU M-CHILD program is to strengthen mobile health capacity to assess risks and improve prevention of child injuries at home in Malaysia through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. Our specific aims are (1) to develop an mHealth tool for home risk assessment and prevention of child injuries, a key national priority in Malaysia, focusing on feasible, measureable in-home interventions. This tool will be used to map risks for injury to children <5 years, which will stimulate hazard reduction interventions through an innovative data-driven mhealth application (the MAP- CHILD app); (2) to pilot-test MAP-CHILD in Malaysia to evaluate data quality and user operability by families; and (3) to develop a core group of researchers focused on the use and integration of mHealth for research and training in public health at Institute for Public Health (IKU) in Malaysia through a short-term, structured, mHealth capacity-building training program for researchers from IKU that will include an innovative e-mentoring program; in-country training workshops at IKU; and online courses and webinars from JHU on priority topics in m-capacity. The JHU-IKU M-CHILD project is a novel application of mHealth in the area of injury prevention, grounded in scientific principles that hav been found effective through other modes of delivery, such as home visits. We will develop a simple, "fun," yet creative and rigorous mobile phone app that will prevent in-home risks for child injuries, thereby reducing the burden of injuries among children in Malaysia. The innovation's benefits will not be limited to children or to Malaysia; once developed, the app will be easily adaptable to other LMIC settings. The JHU-IKU M-CHILD program will also transform the mHealth environment at IKU and in Malaysia. Through a transformative approach, we will implement a capacity development model using m-capacity to conduct research around a nationally relevant issue while our two institutions collaborate to develop a locally relevant data registry and injury outcome tool (Aim 1). The registry will be implemented in one district to assess its feasibility and develop the capacity of the centers to evaluate and follow outcomes in risk reduction (Aim 2). We will use the interest at IKU in teaching and research on child injuries specifically, and public health in general, and at JHU in global and mobile health, to strengthen m-capacity expertise in one of the premier institutions in Malaysia (Aim 3). We envision that this program will lead to the future development of a program dedicated to the use of mHealth in global health research and training at IKU and Malaysia.
