SUNNY DAYS, HEALTH WAYS CD-ROM CURRICULUM

描述：皮肤癌是一种流行病，预防必须从儿童时期开始，以减少终生紫外线照射和严重晒伤。健康系统合作伙伴公司(PHS)将开始制作新的Sunny Days，Healthy Ways(SDHW)小学阳光安全课程的交互式多媒体CD-ROM版本，并评估威尔德县学区(科罗拉多州格里利和埃文斯)的两所科罗拉多州公立小学的学生和教师对此课程的反应。多媒体对健康教育工作者、教师、学生和家长越来越有吸引力。这个第一阶段项目的目标人群是K年级和2年级的学生。为了在正在开发的4年级光盘计划(CRFA研究)和K年级和2年级原型(SBIR#1R43CA76755)的基础上，多媒体SDHW的设计和制作将包括为K年级和2年级准备概念计划和原型光盘活动。对24名学生和8名教师的个人访谈将提供描述性数据。光盘多媒体原型的制作将由AMC癌症研究中心的健康通信核心执行合同。

DESCRIPTION: Skin cancer is epidemic and prevention must start in childhood to reduce lifetime ultraviolet radiation exposure and severe sunburns. Partners for Health Systems, Inc. (PHS) will initiate the production of an interactive multimedia CD-ROM version of the new Sunny Days, Healthy Ways (SDHW) elementary school sun safety curriculum and assess students' and teachers' reactions to it in two Colorado public elementary schools in the Weld County School District (Greeley and Evans, CO). Multimedia are increasingly attractive to health educators, teachers, students, and parents. The target population for this Phase I project is students enrolled in grades K and 2. To build upon ongoing development of grade 4 CD-ROM programs (CRFA study) and grade K and 2 prototypes (SBIR #1R43CA76755), the design and production of the multimedia SDHW will include the preparation of concept plans and prototype CD-ROM activities for grades K and 2. Personal interviews with 24 students and 8 teachers will provide descriptive data. The authoring of the CD-ROM multimedia prototypes will be performed under contract by the AMC Cancer Research Center's Health Communications Core.
