Project Summary/Abstract The Drug Discovery and Biomedical Research Training (DDBRT) Program at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore School of Pharmacy (UMES SOP) mentors, trains, and motivates minority high school students in Somerset County to pursue education and careers in the applied healthcare fields and biomedical research. Somerset County is one of the most rural and underserved communities in the State of Maryland, with one of the highest COVID-19 positivity rates and lowest COVID-19 vaccinations out of any Maryland district, especially among minority populations. The proposed project will use a multi-component approach leveraging strengths of the DDBRT to disseminate information and reduce vaccine hesitancy in under-vaccinated populations through in-person workshops, volunteering at a COVID-19 vaccination site, digital media campaigns, video production, and social media platforms. An expert panel of healthcare providers, public health workers, teachers, and religious leaders will implement a curriculum compromised of interactive modules about scientific findings on SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, recognizing misinformation, and overcoming SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy aimed at high school students, teachers, and their families. This will be presented in-person and recorded on websites, social media, and YouTube for the community. High school students will help to design two student-hosted videos featuring different topics to improve vaccine confidence that will be placed on websites, YouTube, and on social media. Participants will also apply these principles learned at a COVID-19 vaccination event to address remaining vaccine-related misconceptions. The high school students and SEPA PIs will use the UMES Facebook page to disseminate COVID-19 and vaccination scientific findings to the community on a weekly basis. The program is expected to occur from July 2021 to June 2022. This proposal is innovative by combining the expertise of pharmacists, the main providers of SARS-COV-2 vaccines with specific knowledge of issues related to vaccine hesitancy, with influential community leaders to educate and empower students from a medically underserved population. These students will become COVID-19 vaccine champions and serve as ambassadors to encourage their teachers, family, and community to get vaccinated through novel educational resources. Overall, the expected outcome aligns with the parent DDBRT program by stimulating the student’s interest in and pursuit of pharmaceutical, health-related, and biomedical research careers by actively connecting in-classroom biomedical studies with the real-world pandemic that is disproportionately affecting their community.

项目概要/摘要 马里兰大学东部分校的药物发现和生物医学研究培训 (DDBRT) 项目 肖尔药学院 (UMES SOP) 指导、培训和激励少数族裔高中生 萨默塞特县在应用医疗保健领域和生物医学研究领域追求教育和职业生涯。 萨默塞特县是马里兰州最农村和服务水平最差的社区之一，拥有 马里兰州所有地区中最高的 COVID-19 阳性率和最低的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率，尤其是 拟议的项目将采用多方面的方法，充分利用少数民族人口的优势。 DDBRT 通过以下方式传播信息并减少未接种疫苗人群对疫苗的犹豫 现场研讨会、在 COVID-19 疫苗接种点做志愿者、数字媒体活动、视频制作、 由医疗保健提供者、公共卫生工作者、教师和社交媒体平台组成的专家小组。 宗教领袖将实施一个由有关科学发现的互动模块组成的课程 SARS-COV-2 和 SARS-COV-2 疫苗，识别错误信息并克服 SARS-COV-2 疫苗 针对高中生、教师及其家人的犹豫这将亲自呈现。 为社区高中生录制的网站、社交媒体和 YouTube 将有助于设计。 两个由学生主持的视频，主题不同，以提高疫苗信心，将放在 网站、YouTube 和社交媒体上，参与者还将应用在 COVID-19 中学到的这些原则。 疫苗接种活动旨在解决高中生和国家环保总局仍存在的与疫苗相关的误解。 PI 将使用 UMES Facebook 页面向公众传播 COVID-19 和科学疫苗接种结果 该计划预计将于 2021 年 7 月至 2022 年 6 月期间进行。 通过将 SARS-COV-2 疫苗主要供应商药剂师的专业知识与特定药物相结合进行创新 了解与疫苗犹豫相关的问题，并由有影响力的社区领袖进行教育和赋权 来自医疗服务不足人群的学生将成为 COVID-19 疫苗的拥护者。 并担任大使，通过小说鼓励他们的老师、家人和社区感染肺炎 总体而言，通过刺激家长 DDBRT 计划，预期结果是一致的。 通过积极地培养学生对制药、健康相关和生物医学研究职业的兴趣和追求 将课堂生物医学研究与现实世界的流行病联系起来，这种流行病对他们的影响不成比例 社区。
