PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) proposes Constructing a Community of Teen Health Science Leaders (THSL). THSL is designed as a leadership opportunity that offers a roadmap for its teen participants to recognize themselves as “science leaders.” The teen participants, from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences, will work closely with UCSF faculty to understand the NIH-funded research that informs teen health recommendations. Through these collaborations, the students will identify health issues that impact their community and plan how to share this information at a one-day Health Summit for their peers. Design of the Health Summit (its speakers, session styles, and interactive activities) will be informed by participants’ knowledge of their community and how best to inspire engagement among their peers. The Health Summit will also give these students the opportunity to be recognized as science leaders among their peers. We believe that this leadership opportunity will engender a sense of belonging in science that will encourage the student participants to ultimately pursue STEM careers. The specific aims for this project are to: 1) Develop a community of Teen Health Science Leaders; 2) Support Teen Leaders as they organize and lead the annual Teen Health Summit; 3) In collaboration with learning researchers, develop a validated instrument to measure “Belonging in Science,” and test the impact of THSL on students’ sense of belonging; and, 4) Publish the results of the learning research in peer-reviewed journals to inform and advance the science education community’s understanding of student belonging in science. In order to study the program’s impact on belonging in science, THSL incorporates two levels of engagement among the Teen Leaders. Over the life of the project, 80 students will serve as Junior Leaders, with 15 of these students selected to rejoin the program in subsequent years as Senior Leaders. The Belonging in Science survey instrument will compare the responses of all THSL Teen Leaders to the control group of Health Summit student attendees (600 over the life of the grant). Lessons on healthy behaviors from the Health Summit will be further amplified by sharing teen-crafted health messaging via social media and by presenting interactive activities from the Health Summit at the Bay Area Science Festival. Combined over the life of the grant, we anticipate reaching more than 52,000 additional people with public health messaging designed and facilitated by teens.

项目摘要/摘要 加州大学SAN分校的科学与健康教育合作伙伴关系（SEP） Francisco（UCSF）的提案，建设一个青少年健康科学领袖社区 （THSL）。 THSL被设计为为青少年提供路线图的领导机会 参与者将自己视为“科学领袖”。青少年参与者，来自 在科学中代表性不足的背景将与UCSF教师紧密合作 了解NIH资助的研究，以告知青少年健康建议。通过这些 合作，学生将确定影响其社区的健康问题，并计划如何 在为同龄人的为期一天的健康峰会上分享此信息。健康设计 峰会（其演讲者，会话样式和互动活动）将由参与者告知 了解他们的社区，以及如何最好地激发同龄人的互动。 健康峰会还将使这些学生有机会被公认为科学领袖 在他们的同龄人中。我们认为，这种领导机会将使 属于科学，将鼓励学生参与者最终追求STEM 职业。该项目的具体目的是：1）建立一个青少年健康社区 科学领袖； 2）支持青少年领导者在组织和领导年度青少年健康 首脑; 3）与学习研究人员合作，开发一种经过验证的工具 衡量“属于科学”，并测试THSL对学生归属感的影响； 4）在同行评审的期刊上发布学习研究结果，以告知和 促进科学教育界对科学中的学生的理解。 为了研究该计划对科学归属的影响，THSL结合了两个级别 青少年领导人的订婚。在该项目的一生中，80名学生将担任 初级领导人，其中15名学生被选为随后几年重新加入该计划的 高级领导人。科学调查工具中的归属将比较所有人的回应 THSL青少年领导人的健康峰会对照组学生参与者（一生中有600人 赠款）。健康峰会上有关健康行为的教训将被进一步扩大 通过社交媒体共享青少年制作的健康消息传递，并介绍互动活动 来自湾区科学节的健康峰会。在赠款的生活中结合在一起， 我们预计会有超过52,000多人获得公共卫生消息传递 由青少年设计和准备。
