Education and Dissemination in Support of Community Action

教育和传播部分将利用前一次会议产生的知识， 中心的赠款和研究在中国和其他地方，以及新兴的信息提供的新的 研究部分，以更好地为社区一级的酒精预防工作提供信息。加强 翻译工作需要将酒精问题的社会生态学知识纳入 通过开发创新工具，将研究结果与 社区的决定。拟议的研究内容对预防具有重要意义， 特别是与未成年人饮酒和年轻人中的危险饮酒有关。 教育和宣传部分的目标是发展和加强翻译工作， （1）开发基于网络的工具，指导社区预防领导人 在规划和决策过程中使用逻辑模型方法;（2）开发指导材料 根据过去和正在进行的中国项目的主要研究成果;以及（3）传播指导 使用被认为有用和有效的传播渠道的材料，包括一个传播网站; 一份电子通讯，突出社区的努力，符合社区的利益; 向国家一级的把关人和舆论领袖宣传材料。 具体目标1将与拟议中心补助金的组成部分2协调完成 退款减少社区酒精问题的环境策略：一项随机试验 第2部分将开发与未成年人和年轻成年人饮酒有关的社区规划工具， 教育和宣传部门将根据网络使用情况进行调整。试点地点将是 在第3-5年的三个阶段中，将有机会获得规划工具。每一波中的站点将 将征求反馈意见，并根据这些意见完善工具。 具体目标2和3将与所有研究组成部分协调， 以及关于酒精问题的社会生态学的新发现，并通过各种渠道传播这些发现。 在以往的经验中发现，这是最有用的，并为社区受众所接受。

The Education and Dissemination Component will capitalize on the knowledge generated by the previous Center Grants and research at PRC and elsewhere as well as the emerging information provided by the new research components to better inform alcohol prevention efforts at the community level. We will strengthen the translational efforts needed to incorporate knowledge of the social ecology of alcohol problems into policy and pracfice in communifies through the development of innovative tools that link research findings to decisions in communities. The proposed research components have important implications for prevention, especially related to underage drinking and risky drinking among young adults. The aims of the Education and Disseminafion Component are to develop and strengthen translational processes for this research through (1) Developing web-based tools to guide community prevention leaders in planning and decision making processes using a logic model approach; (2) Developing guidance materials based on key research findings from past and on-going PRC projects; and (3) Disseminating guidance materials using communicafion channels found to be useful and effective, including a dissemination website; an electronic newsletter tailored to the interests of communities by highlighting community efforts; and promofion of materials to gatekeepers and opinion leaders at the nafional level. Specific Aim 1 will be accomplished in coordinafion with the Component 2 of the proposed Center Grant renewal. Environmental Strategies to Reduce Community Alcohol Problems: A Randomized Trial. Component 2 will develop tools for community planning related to underage and young adult drinking that will be adapted for web-based use by the Education and Disseminafion component. Pilot sites will be selected and will be given access to the planning tools in three waves in Years 3-5. Sites in each wave will be asked for feedback and the tools will be refined based on that input. Specific Aims 2 and 3 will coordinate with all research components to summarize and synthesize exisfing and emerging findings on the social ecology of alcohol problems and disseminate them through channels found in previous experience to be most useful and accessible to community audiences.
