Advancing Dissemination and Implementation Research on Walking and Walkability: Developing Research Priorities

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求支持PA-13-347下的科学研讨会，重点是如何使用传播和实施（D&I）研究来推进基于证据的政策，系统和环境变化的实施，以促进身体活动（PA），特别是步行和步行能力。拟议的为期1.5天的研讨会，推进关于步行和步行能力的传播和实施研究：制定研究优先事项将在美国步行的主持下召开，与积极生活研究（ALR）和CDC支持的身体活动政策研究网络（PAPRN+）合作，该网络由约翰霍普金斯大学和加州大学圣地亚哥分校的受人尊敬的研究人员共同领导。这是第一次专门讨论步行和步行性的D&I研究的会议，它将对公共健康具有重大意义。缺乏身体活动是癌症、心血管疾病、肥胖和其他慢性疾病的主要风险。尽管存在这些风险，但在美国，符合PA指南的流行率很低。步行是最常见的活动，政策和环境（例如，步行性），支持PA是由许多权威团体推荐。具体目标是：召开一个为期一天半的科学研讨会，邀请约50名学术研究人员、政策专家和代表多个领域和部门的从业人员参与，实施一个系统的进程，推动与促进步行和步行能力的干预措施有关的D&I研究;总结和综合关于政策、制度和环境干预措施，促进步行和步行能力，以及减少癌症、肥胖和其他非传染性疾病风险的能力;提出研究优先事项，以促进基于证据的干预措施的D&I知识，以改善步行和步行能力;通过网络研讨会、发表的文章、演讲、社交媒体和研究简报传播研讨会的成果，这些成果将由America Walks、ALR和PAPRN+合作伙伴分发;并对讲习班进行评价，以评估目标实现情况。本次研讨会的重点直接涉及促进D&I研究的NIH战略目标，以及努力增加PA作为NIH肥胖研究战略计划的一部分。本次拟议研讨会的重点还涉及国家倡议，包括美国国家体育活动计划;健康人2020;和疾病预防控制中心赢得营养，PA和肥胖的战斗，特别是“增加符合美国人体育活动指南的人数。“如果获得资助，这次会议将在2016年ALR会议之前或之后举行。所要求的NIH资金将支持五个简短的白色文件D&I科学和步行/身体活动干预，研讨会后的产品，演讲者的差旅费，以及初级研究人员和从业人员的旅行奖学金，以提高参与者的多样性。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for a scientific workshop under PA-13-347 focusing on how dissemination & implementation (D&I) research can be used to advance the implementation of evidence- based policy, systems, and environmental change to promote physical activity (PA), particularly walking and walkability. The proposed 1.5-day workshop, Advancing Dissemination and Implementation Research on Walking and Walkability: Developing Research Priorities will be convened under the auspices of America Walks, in partnership with Active Living Research (ALR) and the CDC-supported Physical Activity Policy Research Network (PAPRN+), which is co-led by respected researchers at Johns Hopkins University and University of California, San Diego. This is the first time a meeting with a sole focus on D&I research for walking and walkability has been held, and it will have great significance for public health. Physical inactivity is a major risk for cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and other chronic disease. Despite these risks, prevalence of meeting PA guidelines is low in the U.S. Walking is the most common activity, and policies and environments (e.g., walkability) that support PA are recommended by many authoritative groups. The Specific Aims are to: convene a 1.5-day scientific workshop that will engage approximately 50 academic researchers, policy experts, and practitioners representing multiple fields and sectors to implement a systematic process that will advance D&I research related to interventions that promote walking and walkability; summarize and synthesize the evidence on effectiveness of policy, systems, and environment interventions that promote walking and walkability and their ability to reduce the risk of cancers, obesity, and other non-communicable diseases; propose research priorities to advance knowledge on D&I of evidence-based interventions to improve walking and walkability; disseminate the workshop results though webinars, a published article, presentations, social media, and research briefs to be distributed by America Walks, ALR, and PAPRN+ partners; and evaluate the workshop to assess how well the objectives were met. The focus of this workshop directly addresses NIH strategic goals of promoting D&I research, as well as efforts to increase PA as part of the Strategic Plan for NIH Obesity Research. The emphasis of this proposed workshop also relates to national initiatives, including the U.S. National Physical Activity Plan; Healthy People 2020; and the CDC Winnable Battle for Nutrition, PA, and Obesity, specifically to "increase the number of people who meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans." If funded, this meeting will be held before or after the 2016 ALR conference. The requested NIH funds will support the development of five brief white papers on D&I science and walkability/physical activity interventions, post-workshop products, travel expenses for presenters, and travel scholarships for junior researchers and practitioners to enhance diversity of participants.
