项目摘要

The Penn Center of Excellence in Cancer Communication Research will examine how people make sense of the complex public information environment and how that affects the behavioral choices they make relevant to cancer. The effects of the public information environment occur in the context of individuals' personal knowledge, skills and characteristics, their social relationships, and their contact with health professionals and health institutions. The Center will bring together scholars with a range of disciplinary backgrounds and conceptual frameworks for each project and core, including communication science, medical science, public health, and social, cognitive and clinical psychology, This primary focus on research will complement careful attention to the development of new research and research approaches in the area, the training of researchers in the area of cancer communication, and the dissemination of results in ways that influence practice. The Effects of Public Information in Cancer (EPIC) Center has seven specific aims: (1)To implement a comprehensive research program to investigate the effects of publicly available cancer information, (2)To refine and elaborate upon theories of cancer communication, and theories of behavior change as they relate to public cancer information, (3) To develop new measures and methods for cancer communication research, (4) To provide a new education and training program in cancer communication research, (5) To support the development of new research proposals which promise to break conceptual or methodological ground, and which encourage the involvement of minority researchers in the field, (6) To ensure that important results from EPIC Center research are used effectively (7) To ensure interdisciplinary collaboration on each EPIC Center research project, in the training of new scholars of cancer communication, and all work undertaken under the Center's auspices. The proposal includes 3 full research projects, three cores and a developmental program with 2 pilot projects. The three research projects include studies of (1) information scanning and searching behavior about prostate, breast and colon cancer-related decisions, (2) differential responsiveness to anti-tobacco advertising varying in content and format among high and low sensation seeking young adults, (3) how the framing of news media information about genetic risk for nicotine addiction influences smoking-related cognitions and behaviors. The cores include Administration which will provide oversight, undertake dissemination, Training which will supervise a program of post-doctoral fellowships, and Theory and Methods which will assist projects in the development of common conceptual and methodological approaches, as well as a developmental program to support pilot projects. We assure interdisciplinary collaboration by requiring all projects and cores to have communication and cancer control co-Primary Investigators, by establishing cross-Center educational programs and shared reviews of ongoing and proposed research.

宾夕法尼亚大学癌症传播研究卓越中心将研究人们如何理解复杂的公共信息环境，以及这如何影响他们做出的与癌症相关的行为选择。公共信息环境的影响发生在个人的个人知识、技能和特征、他们的社会关系以及他们与卫生专业人员和卫生机构的接触的背景下。该中心将汇集具有一系列学科背景和每个项目和核心概念框架的学者，包括传播科学、医学科学、公共卫生以及社会、认知和临床心理学。这种对研究的主要关注将补充对该领域新研究和研究方法的发展、癌症传播领域研究人员的培训以及以影响实践的方式传播成果。公共信息对癌症的影响 (EPIC) 中心有七个具体目标：(1) 实施一项综合研究计划，调查公开的癌症信息的影响，(2) 完善和阐述癌症传播理论和理论与公共癌症信息相关的行为改变，(3) 为癌症传播研究开发新的措施和方法，(4) 提供癌症传播研究的新教育和培训计划，(5) 支持新的癌症传播研究的开发研究提案有望突破概念或方法论基础，并且鼓励少数族裔研究人员参与该领域， (6) 确保 EPIC 中心研究的重要成果得到有效利用 (7) 确保每个 EPIC 中心研究项目的跨学科合作，培训癌症传播新学者，以及所有工作均在该中心的主持下进行。该提案包括 3 个完整的研究项目、三个核心项目和一个包含 2 个试点项目的开发计划。这三个研究项目包括以下方面的研究：(1) 关于前列腺癌、乳腺癌和结肠癌相关决策的信息扫描和搜索行为，(2) 高和低感觉寻求年轻人对不同内容和格式的反烟草广告的不同反应， (3)新闻媒体关于尼古丁成瘾遗传风险的信息框架如何影响与吸烟相关的认知和行为。核心包括提供监督、进行传播的管理、监督博士后奖学金计划的培训、以及协助项目制定共同概念和方法方法的理论和方法，以及支持项目的发展计划。试点项目。我们通过要求所有项目和核心拥有沟通和癌症控制联合主要研究者、建立跨中心教育计划以及对正在进行的和拟议的研究进行共享审查来确保跨学科合作。
