DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Adolescents may be uniquely prone to errors in self-administering medicines, and many adolescents have serious misunderstandings about potential risks or adverse effects of over-the-counter medicines. In order to successfully transition to adult health care, it is critical that adolescents understand how to appropriately us both prescription and over-the-counter medicines. In addition to promoting safe use of existing medicines it is also important to educate young people about the drug development and the clinical trials processes. The goal of our "Medicines and Me" project is to increase adolescents' understanding of concepts essential for the safe use of medicines as well as to increase their awareness of the drug development and clinical trials processes. We also aim to increase the teaching and engagement skills of early career scientists participating in our outreach programs. We will accomplish this through the development of engaging case-based lessons to be used by teachers in classrooms throughout the US and by scientists leading outreach programs through the University of Rochester's Life Sciences Learning Center (LSLC). We will also create a community-based course for parents and children which will be offered at YMCAs in the Rochester, NY area. During this five-year project we will: * Develop six case-based lessons that will be used by secondary school biology teachers. * Implement a dissemination plan in which we will recruit, train and support a national network of "teacher-presenters" to lead professional development workshops for their peers throughout the US. * Develop two case-based lessons that will be used for scientist-led outreach programs. * Recruit, train and support scientists to lead the outreach lessons for on-site field trips to the LSLC and for in-class visits to secondary schools throughout the Rochester, NY area. * Use community input to create a course for parents and children that will taught at eight local YMCAs. * Evaluate knowledge gains in program participants. This proposed project is significant because the "Medicines and Me" lessons will engage students in exploring concepts that the general public should understand about appropriate use of medicines, translational research, and clinical trials. Further, it will provide a model for disseminating these lessons to teachers nationwide using peer-to-peer professional development. This proposed project is innovative because our curriculum materials will focus on positive messages- knowledge needed to use medicines safely and to understand the importance of the drug development and clinical trials processes in producing medicines that are safe and effective. We will use known best practices to develop curricula across diverse settings, including creating an innovative model for educating adolescents and their parents about these important concepts through a community-based course.

描述（由申请人提供）：青少年在自我给药方面可能特别容易发生错误，许多青少年对非处方药的潜在风险或不良反应存在严重误解。为了成功地过渡到成人保健，青少年了解如何适当地使用处方药和非处方药是至关重要的。除了促进安全使用现有药物外，还必须教育年轻人了解药物开发和临床试验过程。 我们的“药物与我”项目的目标是提高青少年对安全使用药物的基本概念的理解，并提高他们对药物开发和临床试验过程的认识。我们还旨在提高参与我们外展计划的早期职业科学家的教学和参与技能。我们将通过开发基于案例的课程来实现这一目标，这些课程将由美国各地的教师和通过罗切斯特大学生命科学学习中心（LSLC）领导外展计划的科学家使用。我们还将为家长和儿童创建一个以社区为基础的课程，该课程将在纽约州罗切斯特地区的基督教青年会提供。 在这个为期五年的项目中，我们将： * 开发六个案例为基础的经验教训，将用于中学生物教师。 * 实施一项传播计划，在该计划中，我们将招募、培训和支持一个全国性的“教师-演讲者”网络，为美国各地的同行领导专业发展研讨会。 * 开发两个基于案例的课程，用于科学家领导的推广计划。 * 招募，培训和支持科学家带领外展课程现场实地考察LSLC和课堂参观整个罗切斯特，纽约地区的中学。 * 利用社区的投入为父母和孩子们创建一个课程，将在八个当地的基督教青年会教授。 * 评估计划参与者的知识增益。 这个拟议的项目是重要的，因为“药物和我”的教训将从事学生探索的概念，公众应该了解有关药物的适当使用，转化研究和临床试验。此外，它还将提供一个模式，通过同侪专业发展向全国教师传播这些课程。 这个拟议的项目是创新的，因为我们的课程材料将侧重于积极的信息-安全使用药物所需的知识，并了解药物开发和临床试验过程在生产安全有效的药物中的重要性。我们将利用已知的最佳做法，在不同的环境中开发课程，包括创建一个创新模式，通过社区课程教育青少年及其父母了解这些重要概念。
