DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The potent physical, psychological, and social consequences of drug use by college students are as serious as those associated with alcohol use (if not more so), and underscore the need for prevention programming that reaches a majority of students. Beyond drug use, college students face health risks from alcohol use, tobacco use, unhealthy diet and inadequate physical activity, stress, and unsafe sexual behavior. To address drug use and other health risks Inflexxion has developed a comprehensive college health risk intervention called MyStudentBody.com (MSB). MSB is an innovative group of Web-based programs specifically targeting college students that aims to reduce health risks by providing tailored health information in the critical areas of drugs, alcohol, STDs, tobacco, stress, and nutrition, and physical activity. Many schools measure student health risk behavior, but very few use systematic means of measuring the efficacy of health risk programming. Empirical findings are often not used to support intervention strategies or measure outcomes, due in part to the lack of reliable and timely methods of gathering data to support campus administrators and health professionals in this endeavor. There is a critical need for effective tools to gather data on the effectiveness of campus health initiatives and measure outcomes. The proposed product, Campus Benchmark, will be a key component in Inflexxion's effort to build a comprehensive prevention infrastructure for college campuses. The product will provide school administrators and health professionals with a reliable, and user-controlled method for measuring the efficacy and outcomes of prevention programming over time, through a flexible, highly customizable platform. Schools will be able to assess their students risk behaviors, on a user-determined schedule, and store, aggregate, and present data graphically so administrators can utilize survey results without need of a statistician or research analyst, and in a way that protects the privacy of the students. An important innovation of Campus Benchmark will be the building of a large, national database through which participating institutions can upload and compare their data with a de-identified data set. With nearly 750,000 students currently using MSB, this database will become a significant resource for the field of college health research. This product will help Inflexxion provide the most comprehensive and innovative college health programming available in the marketplace. By providing the critical links between the scientifically-based intervention methods developed and validated though our MSB research, and the program implementation component that is currently being developed through the Campus Task Force project, Campus Benchmark will allow Inflexxion to offer the college health market a complete, integrated solution, linking intervention (MSB), evaluation (Campus Benchmark), and program development and dissemination (Campus Task Force).NARRATIVE Public Health Relevance: Campus Benchmark program will help Inflexxion provide the most comprehensive and innovative health risk prevention programming for the college health market. By providing the critical link between the scientifically- based intervention methods developed and validated though our MSB RCTs, and the program implementation component that is currently being developed through the Campus Task Force project, Campus Benchmark will allow Inflexxion to offer the college health market a comprehensive, integrated solution, linking intervention (MSB), evaluation (Campus Benchmark), and program development and dissemination (Campus Task Force).

描述（由申请人提供）：大学生吸毒对身体、心理和社会造成的潜在后果与饮酒相关的后果一样严重（如果不是更严重的话），并强调需要制定覆盖大多数学生的预防规划。学生。除了吸毒之外，大学生还面临着酗酒、吸烟、不健康饮食、身体活动不足、压力和不安全性行为等健康风险。为了解决吸毒和其他健康风险，Inflexxion 开发了一项名为 MyStudentBody.com (MSB) 的综合大学健康风险干预措施。 MSB 是一个基于网络的创新项目组，专门针对大学生，旨在通过在药物、酒精、性传播疾病、烟草、压力、营养和身体活动等关键领域提供量身定制的健康信息来降低健康风险。许多学校衡量学生的健康风险行为，但很少有学校使用系统方法来衡量健康风险规划的有效性。实证研究结果通常不用于支持干预策略或衡量结果，部分原因是缺乏可靠和及时的数据收集方法来支持校园管理人员和卫生专业人员的这一努力。迫切需要有效的工具来收集有关校园健康举措有效性的数据并衡量结果。拟议的产品 Campus Benchmark 将成为 Inflexxion 为大学校园建设全面预防基础设施的努力的关键组成部分。该产品将为学校管理人员和卫生专业人员提供一种可靠且用户控制的方法，通过灵活、高度可定制的平台来衡量预防规划随着时间的推移的有效性和结果。学校将能够按照用户确定的时间表评估学生的风险行为，并以图形方式存储、汇总和呈现数据，以便管理员可以利用调查结果，而无需统计学家或研究分析师，并以保护隐私的方式的学生。 Campus Benchmark的一项重要创新将是建立一个大型的国家数据库，参与机构可以通过该数据库上传其数据并将其与去识别化的数据集进行比较。目前有近 750,000 名学生在使用 MSB，该数据库将成为大学健康研究领域的重要资源。该产品将帮助 Inflexxion 提供市场上最全面、最具创新性的大学健康计划。通过提供通过我们的 MSB 研究开发和验证的基于科学的干预方法与目前正在通过校园任务组项目开发的计划实施组件之间的关键联系，Campus Benchmark 将使 Inflexxion 能够为大学健康市场提供完整的解决方案。 、综合解决方案、联系干预（MSB）、评估（校园基准）以及计划开发和传播（校园工作组）。叙述 公共卫生相关性：校园基准计划将帮助 Inflexxion 为大学健康市场提供最全面和创新的健康风险预防计划。通过提供通过我们的 MSB RCT 开发和验证的基于科学的干预方法与目前通过 Campus Task Force 项目开发的项目实施部分之间的关​​键联系，Campus Benchmark 将使 Inflexxion 能够为大学健康市场提供全面的、综合解决方案、联系干预（MSB）、评估（校园基准）以及计划开发和传播（校园工作组）。
