PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT While progress has been made since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of the virus still poses a threat to school safety. There is a significant concern regarding viral transmission in K-12 schools as a result of close social interactions between children, crowded institutional environments, high risk extracurricular activities, and insufficient vaccination coverage. Children have close interactions with parents and other household members who are active in all sectors of society. Keeping K-12 schools safe is crucial to minimizing community transmission and restoring optimal societal functions. COVID-19 is unlikely to become extinct due to the emergence of new variants, rapidly waning antibodies, COVID behavioral fatigue, and low vaccination coverage. The challenges of prevention and control in K-12 schools persist, from both the current pandemic and future respiratory threats. Our study anticipates next steps of outbreak prevention and management, and the topics of study (i.e. vaccinations) are highly relevant to school safety in this or future respiratory threats (COVID, influenza). We will examine the experience of K-12 schools during the pandemic through the following aims: Aim 1: Conduct a scoping review to identify and inventory the current research and evidence quality on the impact of COVID-19 on K-12 schools Aim 2: Investigate individual stakeholder- and school administrative-level experience and concerns regarding vaccination and safety practices during the pandemic through research in local K-12 schools via stakeholder longitudinal surveys (Aim 2A) and qualitative exploratory semi-structured interviews of school administrators (Aim 2B). Aim 3: Assess the implementation of a Hardware-Assisted Bluetooth-based Infection Tracking Device (HABIT) in a high school setting through a mixed-method study. We will assess HABIT's implementation outcomes (ease of use, interface, and satisfaction, acceptability, usefulness, coherence, setting, adherence, appropriateness) in a K-12 school using qualitative focus group interviews with key stakeholders, survey responses, and HABIT device usage data. We will present both the quantitative performance metrics and the qualitative contextualized insights of HABIT implementation. The proposal is the research component of a comprehensive training plan that is designed to provide a foundation for my career as a physician-scientist through the Yale MD-PhD program. Through these aims, we seek to provide insights that are essential for developing an integrated approach to keep both children and teachers safe in the event of the current and future respiratory viral outbreaks and pandemics.

项目摘要/摘要 虽然自COVID-19大流行爆发以来取得了进展，但病毒的传播仍然构成了 威胁学校安全。由于以下原因，K-12学校的病毒传播受到严重关注 儿童之间密切的社会互动，拥挤的机构环境，高风险的课外活动， 疫苗接种覆盖率不足。儿童与父母和其他家庭成员有密切的互动 活跃在社会各部门的成员。保持K-12学校的安全对于减少社区的 传播和恢复最佳社会功能。 COVID-19不太可能灭绝，因为出现了新的变种，抗体迅速减弱，COVID 行为疲劳和疫苗接种率低。K-12学校预防和控制的挑战 目前的流行病和未来的呼吸道威胁。我们的研究预计， 疾病爆发的预防和管理，以及学习的主题（即疫苗接种）与学校高度相关 安全应对当前或未来的呼吸道威胁（COVID、流感）。我们将研究K-12学校的经验 在大流行期间，通过以下目标： 目标1：进行范围界定审查，以确定和清点关于 COVID-19对K-12学校的影响 目标2：调查个别利益相关者和学校管理层的经验和关注， 通过利益相关者在当地K-12学校的研究，在大流行期间采取疫苗接种和安全措施 纵向调查（目标2A）和定性探索性半结构化访谈的学校管理人员 (Aim 2B）。 目标3：评估硬件辅助蓝牙感染跟踪设备（HABIT）的实施 在一个高中的环境中通过混合方法的研究。我们将评估人居署的执行成果（ 使用、接口和满意度、可接受性、有用性、一致性、设置、遵守、适当性）， 一所K-12学校，使用与关键利益相关者的定性焦点小组访谈、调查答复和HABIT 设备使用数据。我们将同时提出定量的绩效指标和定性的情境化 对HABIT实施的深入了解。 该提案是一项全面培训计划的研究组成部分，旨在提供一个 通过耶鲁大学的医学博士项目，我作为一名医学科学家的职业生涯的基础。通过这些目标，我们 寻求提供对制定一项综合办法至关重要的见解， 在当前和未来呼吸道病毒爆发和流行的情况下，教师的安全。
