San Francisco Health Investigators (SF HI)

 描述（由申请人提供）：旧金山弗朗西斯科健康调查员（SF HI），由加州大学旧金山分校弗朗西斯科的科学与健康教育合作伙伴关系开发和领导，将使用基于社区的参与式研究模式，为高中生提供真实的研究经验，大多数来自科学领域的背景。SF HI将：1）发展一个高中学生研究人员社区，他们将在社区中对健康问题进行研究，研究青少年如何对健康信息做出反应，通过这项研究创建新的健康信息，并研究他们开发的材料的更广泛影响;（二）与教育研究人员合作，研究SF HI对高中学生参与者的影响以及材料对更广泛的社区; 3）传播那些在全国范围内影响最大的材料; 4）在同行评审的期刊和其他论坛上发表关于公众对健康问题的理解和认识的结果，以宣传和推动公共卫生领域的发展。SF HI模式旨在利用学生的文化和技术知识及其社会资本，发挥学生研究人员的作用，因为他们研究了对社区当前健康问题的认识，知识和态度。它将产生广泛的影响。在该项目的过程中，100名城市公立高中学生将沉浸在研究项目中，这些项目有可能直接造福于他们社区的健康。这些学生 研究人员将根据社会、文化和社区知识以及他们的研究结果设计健康信息。他们将集体调查8,500多名社区成员-他们的同龄人，邻居和公共集会的参与者，以评估这些材料的有效性。学生开发的材料将通过网络，高中和大学健康中心，NIH SEPA社区和其他网络广泛分发-因此这些材料有可能在项目的生命周期内接触到150多万青少年和年轻人。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): San Francisco Health Investigators (SF HI), developed and led by the Science & Health Education Partnership at UC San Francisco, will use a community-based participatory research model to provide authentic research experiences for high school students, the majority from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences. SF HI will: 1) develop a community of high school Student Researchers who will conduct research into health issues in their communities, study how adolescents respond to health messages, create new health messages informed by this research, and study the broader impacts of the materials they develop; 2) partner with educational researchers to research the effects of SF HI on the high school student participants and the impact of the materials on the broader community; 3) disseminate those materials shown to have the greatest impact nationally; and 4) publish results on the public understanding and awareness of health issues in peer-reviewed journals and other forums to inform and advance the field of public health. The SF HI model is designed to leverage students' cultural and technological knowledge and their social capital in the role of Student Researchers as they study the awareness, knowledge and attitudes about current health issues in their communities. It will have a broad range of impacts. Over the course of the project, 100 urban public high school students will be immersed in research projects that have the potential to directly benefit the health of their communities. These Student Researchers will design health messages informed by the social, cultural, and community knowledge and by their research results. They will collectively survey more than 8,500 community members - their peers, neighbors, and attendees at public gatherings to assess the effectiveness of these materials. Student-developed materials will be distributed broadly via the web, high school and college wellness centers, the NIH SEPA community, and other networks - thus these materials have the potential to reach over 1.5 million adolescents and young adults over the life of the project.
