CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH EDUCATION SOFTWARE

在第一阶段，Dine系统，一个营养分析微型计算机软件 成人计划，将针对小学进行修改和增强 学生和他们的老师在心血管健康和营养方面的应用 教育项目。研究表明，即使在孩提时代，节食也会发挥作用 在冠心病的发生和发展中起重要作用 高血压。该软件的开发对于初学者来说是非常重要的 让学生分析他们所选择的食物的营养效果，并 小学教师评估其对心血管健康的影响 和营养教育项目。当前没有有效的软件程序 为小学生的营养分析而存在。 在软件的修改和开发过程中，一个专家组 将审查营养标准、教育适宜性和 计算机科学技术。该软件将使用“科学的状态”。 指南，并将足够敏感，以衡量主要的饮食风险 导致心血管疾病的因素。该软件将通过一个 前测-后测比较组设计，以确定其在 针对小学生的心血管健康教育计划。 在第二阶段，该项目将扩大到开发一个互动的 微型计算机-基于视频的进餐系统和自学 改善营养行为。

In Phase I, the DINE System, a nutrient analysis microcomputer software program for adults, will be modified and enhanced for elementary school students and their teachers for use in cardiovascular health and nutrition education programs. Research indicates that diet, even in childhood, plays a significant role in the development of coronary heart disease and hypertension. The development of this software is important for elementary students to analyze the nutritional effects of their food choices and elementary teachers to evaluate the impact of their cardiovascular health and nutrition education programs. Currently no valid software programs exist for nutrient analysis of elementary school children. During the modification and development of the software, an expert panel will review the nutritional standards, educational suitability, and computer science techniques. The software will use 'state of the science' guidelines and will be sensitive enough to measure the major dietary risk factors to cardiovascular disease. The software will be evaluated with a pretest - posttest comparison group design to determine its effect within a cardiovascular health education program for elementary school children. In Phase II, the project will be extended to develop an interactive microcomputer-video based upon the DINE System and self-instuction to improve nutritional behavior.
