West Virginia HSTA Students Design Public Health Clinical Trials

西弗吉尼亚大学健康科学与技术学院（HSTA）提交了这份报告。 基于临床试验方案的l+ll期提案，作为将生物医学和临床 研究人员，大学教师和社区传播科学教育，以9日至12日年级以下， 代表学生，他们的高中老师和公众。临床关键组件 试验将嵌入适合人群和年龄的背景和基于调查的经验中 将糖尿病作为疾病系统，并以营养和锻炼为重点进行生活方式干预。临床 试验方案课程将由HSTA教师和大学教师设计，并用于 校园暑期规划和学年，以社区为基础，学生研究项目。在西弗吉尼亚州， 超过43%的儿童被归类为有风险或超重。在过去的十年里，WV记录了 最高的糖尿病相关死亡的国家，虽然它被认为有一个高患病率的可改变的 糖尿病和肥胖的危险因素。该提案的目的是揭开临床试验的神秘面纱， 特别关注服务不足的人群（NIH的使命），并改善 通过教育促进国家健康。目标是指导学生和教师进行研究项目 包括在社区中对肥胖和糖尿病进行生活方式干预， 向父母和社区提供研究和临床试验方案的知识和理解 成员，以便： 消除健康生活方式方面的重大障碍， 通过使用新的教学形式解决消除临床试验研究神秘化的关键障碍 以临床试验方案为基础， 提高教师和学生参与科学培训的严格程度， 激发教师将临床试验方案课程纳入课堂， 提供科学和数学方面的学术充实，以更好地为代表性不足的学生做好准备， 在大学里取得学业成功， 激发学生对生物医学研究的兴趣，特别关注代表性不足的问题

The Health Sciences and Technology Academy (HSTA) of West Virginia University submits this Phase l+ll proposal based on clinical trial protocol as a format to bring together biomedical and clinical researchers, university faculty, and community to disseminate science education to 9th-12th grade under- represented students, their high school teachers and to the general public. Critical components of clinical trials will be embedded in population-appropriate and age-appropriate context and inquiry based experiences using diabetes as the disease system and life-style interventions focused on nutrition and exercise. Clinical Trials Protocol curriculum will be designed by both HSTA teachers and university faculty and used for both campus summer programming and academic year, community-based, student research projects. In WV, over 43% of children have been classified as at-risk or overweight. In the last decade WV has recorded the highest diabetes related deaths in the nation though it is believed to have a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors for diabetes and obesity. The objectives of this proposal are to demystify clinical trials for the general public with special attention to under-served populations (a mission of NIH) and to improve the health of the state through education. The goals are to guide students and teachers in research projects involving life-style interventions for obesity and diabetes in communities where they transmit their new knowledge and understanding of research and clinical trials protocol to their parents and community members in order to: . address critical barriers to progress in healthy lifestyles, address critical barriers to demystifying clinical trials research through the use of a novel teaching format using clinical trial protocol as the foundation, raise the level of rigor to the science training for both teachers and students involved, excite teachers to incorporate the clinical trial protocol curriculum in their classrooms, provide academic enrichment in science and math to better prepare under-represented students for academic success in college, stimulate student interest towards biomedical research with particular attention to under-represented
