Transdisciplinary and Multilevel Approaches in Health Behavior Research

健康行为研究的跨学科和多层次方法

基本信息

项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Academy of Health Behavior seeks conference support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) for our 2007 annual scientific conference scheduled for March 25-28, 2007 in Savannah, Georgia. NHLBI is an excellent match with the Academy as reflected by the fact that NHLBI funded its first behavioral science research grant in 1955, focused on psychological factors related to high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. Our membership is committed to studying health behaviors that significantly influence the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. including cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Further, translating this research into effective public health interventions is at the core of the Academy's mission. To advance our understanding of the health behaviors associated with risk factor identification and public health interventions, the field needs to expand beyond intra and interpersonal factors that influence health behavior by studying systematically and concurrently the multiple levels of influence on those behaviors by such things as the family, neighborhood, organization, community, environment, and policy. The purpose of our 2007 scientific meeting is to help behavioral scientists work toward the goal of promoting more multilevel interventions, measurement and analyses using transdisciplinary approaches. This conference goal supports the mission of NHLBI to plan and direct research in the development and evaluation of interventions (physical activity and nutrition) related to prevention of heart, blood vessel and lung diseases. Because our membership includes researchers whose interests may be outside chronic disease prevention, we also expect to include public health topics that will pique their interest; nonetheless, discussion in these sessions will strengthen the knowledge of those doing NHLBI-related research about general principles in multilevel intervention, measurement, and analysis.
描述(由申请人提供): 美国健康行为学会寻求国内心脏,肺和血液研究所(NHLBI)的会议支持,该会议于2007年3月25日至28日在乔治亚州的萨凡纳举行。 NHLBI与该学院的匹配非常出色,这一事实反映了NHLBI在1955年资助了其首个行为科学研究资助,重点是与高血压和冠状动脉疾病有关的心理因素。我们的成员资格致力于研究健康行为,这些健康行为极大地影响了美国的发病率和死亡率的主要原因,包括心血管和呼吸系统疾病。此外,将这项研究转化为有效的公共卫生干预措施是该学院任务的核心。为了促进我们对与风险因素识别和公共卫生干预措施相关的健康行为的理解,该领域需要扩展超越人体内部和人际因素,这些因素通过系统,社区,组织,社区,社区,环境和政策进行系统和同时研究对这些行为的多种影响来影响健康行为。我们2007年科学会议的目的是帮助行为科学家致力于使用跨学科方法来促进更多的多层次干预,测量和分析。该会议目标支持NHLBI的使命计划和直接研究与预防心脏,血管和肺部疾病有关的干预措施(身体活动和营养)的开发和评估。 由于我们的会员资格包括可能在预防慢性疾病之外的研究人员,因此我们还希望包括将引起其兴趣的公共卫生主题;尽管如此,在这些会议中的讨论将加强对NHLBI相关研究的人的知识,以了解多层干预,测量和分析中的一般原则。
