The Outreach Core of the U54 Center "Clinical and Basic Studies in PCOS" is designed to expand awareness of the negative impact of obesity on reproductive health and to educate about fitness and nutritional strategies to prevent or treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). As such, the Outreach Core has three main objectives. First, it will engage youth and families in fun, dance-based exercise programs while educating them about wellness and reproductive health. This will be achieved at the University of Virginia (UVA) by a fitness support group for teen girls and their families and in the surrounding communities with educational exercise programs for children at after-school and summer programs. These programs will encourage an interest in exercise, enhance understanding of the physiology of puberty, develop appreciation for how exercise reduces the risks of metabolic complications related to excess weight (especially PCOS), and encourage interest in human sciences. A webpage supporting these programs will reinforce information provided to families. Second, it will update local and regional medical providers and students about PCOS-related medical care and ongoing clinical research. Continuing medical education seminars will inform local/regional primary medical providers and endocrine/adolescent specialists about recent advances in PCOS care. A tab on our website for medical providers will serve as a clinical resource and provide contact information for referring patients for subspecialty care or to participate in clinical research. Seminars and summer research opportunities will engage undergraduate/graduate biology and medical students in PCOS research. Third, it will inform the lay public about the problem of PCOS and the risks of excess weight to reproductive health. This will be achieved via school health educator and lay seminars, public service announcements, and a tab on our website geared towards the lay public. The reach of this Outreach Core is to provide awareness opportunities first for patients, families, students, and medical providers at UVA and then to extend opportunities to the Charlottesville/central Virginia area and to regional medical centers. We will utilize telemedicine to engage and educate remote medical providers and lay public throughout rural Virginia.

U54 中​​心的外展核心“PCOS 的临床和基础研究”旨在扩展 认识肥胖对生殖健康的负面影响，并进行健康和健康教育 预防或治疗多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的营养策略。因此，外展核心 三个主要目标。 首先，它将让青少年和家庭参与有趣的、基于舞蹈的锻炼项目，同时教育他们了解 健康和生殖健康。弗吉尼亚大学（UVA）将通过健身来实现这一目标 为少女及其家人和周边社区提供教育活动的支持小组 为儿童提供课后项目和暑期项目。这些计划将激发人们的兴趣 锻炼，增强对青春期生理学的了解，培养对如何锻炼的认识 降低与超重（尤其是多囊卵巢综合症）相关的代谢并发症的风险，并鼓励 对人文科学的兴趣。支持这些计划的网页将强化提供给 家庭。 其次，它将向当地和地区医疗服务提供者和学生提供有关 PCOS 相关医疗的最新信息 护理和正在进行的临床研究。继续医学教育研讨会将为当地/地区小学提供信息 医疗服务提供者和内分泌/青少年专家了解多囊卵巢综合症护理的最新进展。我们的一个选项卡 医疗提供者网站将作为临床资源并提供联系信息以供参考 接受亚专科护理或参与临床研究的患者。研讨会和暑期研究 机会将使本科生/研究生生物学和医学生参与 PCOS 研究。 第三，它将向公众宣传多囊卵巢综合症的问题以及体重过重的风险。 生殖健康。这将通过学校健康教育者和非专业研讨会、公共服务来实现 公告，以及我们网站上面向普通公众的标签。 该外展核心的目标是首先为患者、家庭、学生、 和 UVA 的医疗提供者，然后将机会扩展到夏洛茨维尔/弗吉尼亚中部地区 以及区域医疗中心。我们将利用远程医疗来参与和教育远程医疗 弗吉尼亚州农村地区的医疗服务提供者和普通公众。
