CHIDR Chatter: Translating community research data forclassroom use

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案开发社区卫生互动数据资源（CHIDR）；这是一项传播干预措施，为教师和学生提供在线访问社区特定研究数据的途径，这些数据来自“让我们健康起来！”教育与研究展览。通过CHIDR进行的数据收集公平和学生对当地数据的探索将被用作让学生了解个人和群体决策如何影响健康问题的一种方法。教师指导下的数据探索将使学生亲眼看到如何利用参与美国国立卫生研究院资助的人类研究来更好地了解人类健康。该项目将提高个人和课堂对与儿童肥胖有关的健康问题的认识，并提高技能，使学生能够利用有意义的数据在学校和社区中做出积极的改变。拟议项目的直接影响是开发基于网络的数据可视化工具和资源库的基础设施，这些工具和资源库免费提供给公众，包括教师。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal develops the Community Health Interactive Data Resource (CHIDR); a dissemination intervention that provides teachers and students with online access to community-specific research data generated from the Let's Get Healthy! education and research exhibit. The data-gathering fair and student exploration of local data through CHIDR will be used as a method of engaging students in understanding how personal and group decisions can impact heath issues. Teacher-guided exploration of data will enable students to see first-hand how participation in an NIH-funded human research study can be used to better understand human health. This project will raise individual and classroom awareness about health issues related to childhood obesity as well as promote skills that enable students to use meaningful data to make positive changes in their school and community. The immediate impact of the proposed project develops the infrastructure for a web-based data visualization tool and resource library that is freely available to the public, including teachers, students, policy makers and community health groups. CHIDR would leverage the already successful Let's Get Healthy! program to provide a web-based resource where accurate, region-specific data could be used to enable personal and policy decisions that improve public health.
