项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This FIRCA proposal has the goal of establishing behavioral informatics research laboratories and research capacity in China. The long range goal is to spread behavioral informatics research capacity throughout China and in other developing countries. The first step in this process will be to establish a behavioral informatics research laboratory in Hong Kong which will be located in the Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), directed by Dr. Joseph Lau. The second step is to develop a collaborative behavioral informatics research project at CUHK which will be conducted in Shenzhen, China in collaboration with Dr. Ji Peng, Chief of the Department of Chronic Disease Prevention and Control in the Shenzhen Municipal Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control in Shenzhen, China. For this project, a Chinese version of an effective NIH-funded automated, telephone-based physical activity (PA) promotion program will be developed. This will entail review of the U.S. program by Drs. Lau and Peng, and their staffs and the conduct of a small ethnographic study in Shenzhen, to better understand the context and culture of telephone use, physical activity behavior, and health behavior change programs among the target population of sedentary adults. The U.S. program will then be modified in Dr. Lau's laboratory, pretested in Shenzhen, and evaluated in a two-arm randomized clinical trial of 120 sedentary adults in the Shenzhen metropolitan area under the direction of Drs. Peng and Lau. Subjects will be randomly assigned to weekly automated telephone counseling or to a control condition. We hypothesize that at the end of a 6 month intervention period, the automated counseling group compared to the control group will (1) increase the participants' level of PA, (2) achieve recommended levels of PA, and (3) increase their readiness to engage in regular PA. We will explore whether outcome effects of the intervention are mediated through improvement in self-efficacy for PA. The proposed project is significant from both research and public health perspective. At present, there is no research laboratory in China in the discipline of behavioral informatics which is the application of computer and telecommunications technologies to address human behavioral factors that are associated with the development of disease and optimal patient self-care. The long-term objective of this FIRCA program is to develop self-sustaining research laboratories in behavioral informatics in major centers in mainland China. This FIRCA proposal will support the first steps in this process. The ultimate public health goal of the project is to apply the results of research performed in the behavioral informatics laboratories in China to the healthcare system to decrease the prevalence of chronic disease and improve its control in both an effective and cost savings manner. Given the enormous healthcare needs of China and other countries in the developing world, such a practical outcome would be of potentially great significance. This project will result in the establishment of research capacity in China to develop, evaluate and disseminate an automated, low cost, culturally sensitive, easily accessible and effective program to promote healthy behavior in the population (e.g., active lifestyle, healthy eating, and smoking cessation). Should these programs be deployed in China, they would have the capacity to decrease the prevalence of many common chronic diseases and improve their control in the population.

描述（由申请人提供）：该FIRCA提案的目的是在中国建立行为信息学研究实验室和研究能力。远距离目标是在中国和其他发展中国家中传播行为信息学研究能力。这一过程的第一步是在香港建立一个行为信息学研究实验室，该实验室将位于香港中国大学（CUHK）的流行病学与生物统计中心，由约瑟夫·劳（Joseph Lau）博士指导。第二步是在CUHK开发一个合作的行为信息学研究项目，该项目将与中国深圳市的深圳市进行，该计划与深圳市预防和控制中心的慢性疾病预防与控制部主管Ji Peng博士在中国深圳市慢性病预防和控制中心。对于此项目，将制定中文版的有效自动化，基于电话的体育活动（PA）促销计划。这将需要DRS对美国计划的审查。刘和彭及其员工以及在深圳进行小民族志研究的进行，以更好地了解久坐成年人目标人群中电话使用，体育活动行为和健康行为改变计划的背景和文化。然后，美国计划将在深圳进行预测试的Lau博士实验室进行修改，并在DRS指导下对深圳大都会地区的120名久坐成年人进行两臂随机临床试验进行了评估。彭和刘。受试者将随机分配给每周自动电话咨询或控制条件。我们假设在6个月的干预期结束时，与对照组相比，自动咨询组将（1）提高参与者的PA水平，（2）达到推荐的PA水平，以及（3）提高他们准备参与常规PA的准备。我们将探索干预措施的结果效应是否是通过提高PA的自我效能感来介导的。从研究和公共卫生的角度来看，拟议的项目都很重要。目前，中国在行为信息学的学科中还没有研究实验室，这是计算机和电信技术来解决与疾病发展和最佳患者自我保健相关的人类行为因素。该FIRCA计划的长期目标是开发中国大陆主要中心行为信息学的自我维持研究实验室。该FIRCA提案将支持此过程中的第一步。该项目的最终公共卫生目标是应用中国行为信息学实验室进行的研究结果，以减少慢性病的患病率，并以有效的成本节省方式改善其控制率。鉴于中国和发展中国家其他国家的巨大医疗保健需求，这种实际结果可能具有重要意义。该项目将导致在中国建立研究能力，以开发，评估和传播自动化，低成本，文化敏感，易于访问且有效的计划，以促进人群中的健康行为（例如，积极的生活方式，健康饮食和戒烟）。如果这些计划在中国部署，他们将有能力降低许多常见的慢性疾病的患病率并改善人口的控制。
