PROJECT SUMMARY Mika Matsuzaki, PhD, MPH, MS, is an Assistant Professor of Human Nutrition in the Department of International Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH). She seeks a K01 Award to gain skillset, knowledge, and mentored research experiences through exposure to diverse aspects of food systems and sys- tems science research. This award is a critical step for her to complete the career transition into an independent scholar contributing new insights on systemic interventions to prevent and reduce youth obesity among disad- vantaged populations. The proposed training and study build upon her strong training in nutritional epidemiology, school nutrition policies, and food environments using advanced statistical techniques. The training will build her expertise in the use of mixed-methods, systems science approaches including simulation models examining school-centric food systems and youth obesity. Obesity is increasingly recognized as a systems problem, requir- ing multi-level, multi-component solutions. Previous research, including my own, has shown that at the popula- tion level, youth obesity disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minority populations as well as those with socio- economic disadvantages. Given the persisting disparities in youth obesity, novel solutions need to be developed. To this end, the proposed study will seek ideas for such solutions through examination of factors within food systems that may have contributed to unexpectedly low obesity prevalence seen in a handful of schools (Aim 1), which we call positive deviators. We will then estimate the potential impact of introducing new changes in food systems to improve diet for students in other school settings in simulation models (Aim 2). Dr. Matsuzaki has access to an excellent research environment and renowned scholars at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) as well as at her collaboration institutions, San Francisco State University (SFSU) and the City University of New York (CUNY). She has built a strong mentoring team covering all training and research components with Dr. Joel Gittelsohn, PhD, MPH (BSPH, primary mentor); co-mentors Dr. Emma Sanchez-Vaznaugh, ScD, MPH (SFSU), Dr. Jess Fanzo, PhD (JHU), Dr. Bruce Y. Lee, MD, MBA (CUNY), and Dr. Takeru Igusa, PhD (JHU). Dr. Matsu- zaki will gain hands-on experiences through her proposed research in systems science and youth obesity while obtaining necessary content expertise and experiences through regular meetings and study activities with her mentors, courses, workshops, seminars, scientific meetings. The K01 mentored research training and experi- ence will enable Dr. Matsuzaki to achieve independent scholarship with expertise in systems science approaches to youth obesity disparities and an ability to design and conduct large-scale simulation studies and develop and test new systemic interventions in subsequent R01 studies.

项目概要 Mika Matsuzaki，博士，公共卫生硕士，硕士，国际系人类营养学助理教授 约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院 (BSPH) 的健康。她寻求 K01 奖来获得技能， 知识，并通过接触粮食系统和系统的各个方面来指导研究经验 TEM科学研究。这个奖项是她完成向独立艺术家职业转型的关键一步 学者对系统干预措施提出新见解，以预防和减少青少年肥胖 优势人群。拟议的培训和研究建立在她在营养流行病学方面的强大培训基础上， 使用先进统计技术的学校营养政策和食品环境。训练将使她 使用混合方法、系统科学方法（包括模拟模型检查）的专业知识 以学校为中心的粮食系统和青少年肥胖。肥胖越来越被认为是一个系统问题，需要 荷兰国际集团的多层次、多组件解决方案。以前的研究，包括我自己的研究，已经表明，在大众中 就青少年肥胖水平而言，青少年肥胖不成比例地影响种族/族裔少数群体以及社会弱势群体。 经济劣势。鉴于青少年肥胖问题持续存在差异，需要开发新的解决方案。 为此，拟议的研究将通过检查食品中的因素来寻求此类解决方案的想法 可能导致少数学校肥胖率出乎意料地低的系统（目标 1）， 我们称之为积极偏差。然后我们将估计引入食品新变化的潜在影响 在模拟模型中改善其他学校环境中学生饮食的系统（目标 2）。松崎博士有 享受约翰·霍普金斯大学 (JHU) 优良的研究环境和著名学者的机会 她的合作机构是旧金山州立大学 (SFSU) 和纽约城市大学 （纽约市立大学）。她与乔尔博士建立了一支强大的指导团队，涵盖所有培训和研究组成部分 Gittelsohn，博士，公共卫生硕士（BSPH，主要导师）；共同导师 Emma Sanchez-Vaznaugh 博士，ScD，MPH (SFSU)， Jess Fanzo 博士（约翰霍普金斯大学）、Bruce Y. Lee 博士（医学博士、工商管理硕士）（纽约市立大学）和 Takeru Igusa 博士（约翰霍普金斯大学）。松博士- 扎基将通过她提议的系统科学和青少年肥胖研究获得实践经验，同时 通过与她的定期会议和学习活动获得必要的内容专业知识和经验 导师、课程、讲习班、研讨会、科学会议。 K01 指导研究培训和经验 此举将使松崎博士能够凭借系统科学方法方面的专业知识获得独立奖学金 青年肥胖差异以及设计和进行大规模模拟研究和开发的能力 在随后的 R01 研究中测试新的系统干预措施。
