DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Centers for Disease Control has identified 6 priority areas that contribute to 70% or more illness, of the disability, and death of adolescents and young adults, and the development of chronic disease with advancing age. The priority areas are tobacco use, unhealthy dietary behaviors, inadequate physical activity, alcohol and other drug use, sexually transmitted diseases, and behaviors that may result in violence and unintended injury. Enhancing school-based health education programs to address those 6 priority areas is an objective outlined in Healthy People 2010, and the Institute of Medicine has recommended that more attention be given to assessment as a means to assure an effective health education curriculum. Yet standardized assessment of health knowledge regarding the 6 priority areas is not occurring in nearly all states due to a dominant focus on such subjects as math, reading, and science. Given this dilemma other mechanisms for standardized health knowledge assessment need to emerge. The overall objective of this project is to develop plans for a model health knowledge assessment and information management system at a community-based health education center that services 80,000 students yearly, and is one of 40 such centers nationally. Through a multidisciplinary team of educators, researchers, and public officials 3 Specific Aims will be accomplished: 1) plans will be developed for a model information management system that when fully implemented will provide classroom teachers with a composite of their students' knowledge on the 6 priority areas, track changes in student knowledge, and allow for the exporting of the assessment services to other health education centers nationally, 2) plans will be developed for the cross-linking of selected Indiana students' knowledge specific to the 6 priority areas with other data sources pertaining to students' demographics (e.g. socioeconomic indicators, race, gender) and performance on standardized academic tests, and 3) based upon the planning process a grant will be submitted to public and private agencies for implementation of the information management system. The Specific Aims will be completed through a Steering Committee and 5 working groups (i.e. Health Education/Educational Psychology, Information Management and Technology, Geographic Mapping, Human Subjects Compliance, External Liaisons). Those working groups will collectively realize 9 predetermined Outcomes to complete the Specific Aims.

描述（由申请人提供）： 疾病控制中心已经确定了6个优先领域，这些领域导致70%或更多的青少年和年轻人的疾病、残疾和死亡，以及随着年龄的增长而发展的慢性病。优先领域是烟草使用、不健康的饮食行为、体育活动不足、酒精和其他药物使用、性传播疾病以及可能导致暴力和意外伤害的行为。《2010年健康人》概述了加强以学校为基础的健康教育方案以解决这6个优先领域的目标，医学研究所建议更加重视评估，以此作为确保有效的健康教育课程的手段。然而，由于主要关注数学、阅读和科学等科目，几乎所有州都没有对6个优先领域的健康知识进行标准化评估。鉴于这一困境，需要出现标准化健康知识评估的其他机制。该项目的总体目标是为一个以社区为基础的健康教育中心制定一个示范健康知识评估和信息管理系统的计划，该中心每年为8万名学生提供服务，是全国40个这样的中心之一。通过一个由教育工作者、研究人员和政府官员组成的多学科团队，将实现3个具体目标：1）将制定计划，建立一个示范信息管理系统，该系统全面实施后，将向任课教师提供学生在6个优先领域的综合知识，跟踪学生知识的变化，并允许将评估服务出口到全国其他健康教育中心，（2）将制定跨部门计划-链接选定的印第安纳州学生的知识，具体到6个优先领域与其他数据来源有关的学生的人口统计（如社会经济指标、种族、性别）和标准化学业考试成绩;（3）根据规划进程，将向公共和私营机构提供赠款，用于实施信息管理系统。具体目标将通过指导委员会和5个工作组（即健康教育/教育心理学、信息管理和技术、地理制图、人类受试者依从性、外部联络人）完成。 这些工作组将共同实现9项预定成果，以完成具体目标。
