Project Summary/Abstract The Information Dissemination Core of the UNC NIAAA Alcohol Research Center (ARC) has a two-fold objective: to disseminate scientific information on alcohol pathology to the public and to equip our trainees and faculty to communicate their science through community engagement. These goals integrate with the educational mission of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies (BCAS) as a part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. To accomplish our goals, we partner with state-wide and nonprofit agencies in three integrated but separate aims. First, we will disseminate current research on the risks of adolescent binge drinking that induce long lasting changes in neurobiology. By partnering with the North Carolina ABC Commission, the North Carolina Governor’s Task Force on Underage Drinking, and the state-wide “Talk It Out” campaign we will inform both parents and adolescents through multiple approaches. Current and accurate scientific information, is disseminated through the “Talk It Out” TV and radio announcements and website, as well as the BCAS website. Second, we will provide education on the neurobiology of alcohol use to college students at risk for alcohol use problems. Our two target groups are first-time offenders with alcohol-related charges and UNC sorority/fraternity members. This aim is facilitated by partnering with Carpe Diem, a UNC- affiliated alcohol education program, and the UNC Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and Community Involvement. Third, we train BCAS scientists – with a particular focus on graduate students and postdoctoral fellows – to effectively engage a broad audience in neuroscience outreach. Each year we develop new learning modules that center on an aspect of neuroscience, then provide training and resources to use them. For example, each year Core faculty develop a new interactive module aimed toward children and youth that is showcased during Brain Awareness Week at the local North Carolina Museum of Life and Science, and BCAS scientists are recruited to volunteer at the event. Additional programming aimed at adults focuses on alcohol neurobiology, intoxication and neuropathology. The Museum of Life and Science, as well as the UNC Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, are key partners in these efforts. Overall, these activities maximize the impact of the ARC to promote addiction research, healthy behavior and substance abuse prevention. Collaborative partnerships for the translation and scientific insight on alcohol drinking across the lifespan, including adolescence, will optimize the impact of scientific knowledge on health.

项目概要/摘要 北卡罗来纳大学 NIAAA 酒精研究中心 (ARC) 的信息传播核心有两个方面 目标：向公众传播有关酒精病理学的科学信息，并为我们的学员提供培训和培训 教师通过社区参与来传播他们的科学。 作为北大学一部分的鲍尔斯酒精研究中心 (BCAS) 的教育使命 为了实现我们的目标，我们在三个领域与全州范围内的非营利机构合作。 首先，我们将传播有关青少年暴饮暴食风险的最新研究。 通过与北卡罗来纳州 ABC 合作，饮酒可引起神经生物学的持久变化。 委员会、北卡罗来纳州州长未成年人饮酒特别工作组以及全州范围内的“说出来” 活动中，我们将通过多种最新且准确的方式向家长和青少年提供信息。 科学信息通过“Talk It Out”电视和广播公告以及网站传播， 其次，我们将为大学提供有关酒精使用的神经生物学的教育。 我们的两个目标群体是有酒精相关问题的初犯。 通过与 UNC 的 Carpe Diem 合作，促进了这一目标。 附属酒精教育计划以及北卡罗来纳大学兄弟会和姐妹会生活和社区办公室 第三，我们培训 BCAS 科学家——特别关注研究生和博士后。 研究员 - 每年我们都会开发新的神经科学推广活动。 以神经科学的某个方面为中心的学习模块，然后提供使用它们的培训和资源。 例如，每年，核心教师都会开发一个针对儿童和青少年的新互动模块， 在大脑意识周期间在当地的北卡罗来纳州生命与科学博物馆和 BCAS 展出 此次活动还招募了科学家作为志愿者，针对成年人的其他项目重点关注酒精。 神经生物学、中毒和神经病理学以及北卡罗来纳大学生命与科学博物馆。 莫尔黑德天文馆和科学中心是这些活动的主要合作伙伴。 最大限度地发挥 ARC 的影响，促进成瘾研究、健康行为和药物滥用 预防饮酒的合作伙伴关系。 包括青春期在内的生命周期将优化科学知识对健康的影响。
