CORE--EVALUATION RESOURCE

公共卫生研究的一个主要组成部分是收集 研究参与者通过邮件、电话和亲自提供的信息 调查。评价共享资源提供技术支持 项目和科学家在调查的实施，质量 控制和数据管理。代表执行的具体任务 项目包括样本开发，问卷预测试，个人 以及电话访谈、邮寄和跟踪邮寄的问卷， 编辑/编码、数据输入、编程支持、数据库管理、数据 清洁、响应/拒绝率报告、响应者跟踪，以及 项目文件。使用ESR的项目可以从以下方面提高效率： 具有标准化的程序、训练有素的工作人员和技术资源， 例如CATI（计算机辅助电话面试），它为多个 项目该资源为超过25个同行评审的NIH提供了支持 1996-97财政年度的研究项目。虽然ESR最初是 主要是为了满足该计划中研究人员的需求而建立的 在癌症预防研究和公共卫生科学部， 它最近扩大了其范围， FHCRC的跨学科目标。

A major component of public health research is the collection of information from study participants, by mail, telephone and in-person surveys. The Evaluation Shared Resource (ESR) provides technical support to projects and scientists in the areas of survey implementation, quality control, and data management. Specific tasks carried out on behalf of projects include sample development, questionnaire pre-testing, personal and telephone interviewing, mailing and tracking of mailed questionnaires, editing/coding, data entry, programming support, database management, data cleaning, response/refusal rate reporting, respondent tracking, and project documentation. Projects which use ESR gain efficiencies from having standardized procedures, trained staff, and technical resources, such as CATI (Computer Aided Telephone Interviewing), which serve multiple projects. The resource provided support for more than 25 peer-reviewed NIH research projects in the 1996-97 fiscal year. While ESR was originally established to serve the needs of investigators primarily in the Program in Cancer Prevention Research and the Division of Public Health Sciences, it has recently broadened its scope in the direction of the interdisciplinary goals of the FHCRC.
