PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT While progress has been made since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of the virus still poses a threat to school safety. There is a significant concern regarding viral transmission in K-12 schools as a result of close social interactions between children, crowded institutional environments, high risk extracurricular activities, and insufficient vaccination coverage. Children have close interactions with parents and other household members who are active in all sectors of society. Keeping K-12 schools safe is crucial to minimizing community transmission and restoring optimal societal functions. COVID-19 is unlikely to become extinct due to the emergence of new variants, rapidly waning antibodies, COVID behavioral fatigue, and low vaccination coverage. The challenges of prevention and control in K-12 schools persist, from both the current pandemic and future respiratory threats. Our study anticipates next steps of outbreak prevention and management, and the topics of study (i.e. vaccinations) are highly relevant to school safety in this or future respiratory threats (COVID, influenza). We will examine the experience of K-12 schools during the pandemic through the following aims: Aim 1: Conduct a scoping review to identify and inventory the current research and evidence quality on the impact of COVID-19 on K-12 schools Aim 2: Investigate individual stakeholder- and school administrative-level experience and concerns regarding vaccination and safety practices during the pandemic through research in local K-12 schools via stakeholder longitudinal surveys (Aim 2A) and qualitative exploratory semi-structured interviews of school administrators (Aim 2B). Aim 3: Assess the implementation of a Hardware-Assisted Bluetooth-based Infection Tracking Device (HABIT) in a high school setting through a mixed-method study. We will assess HABIT's implementation outcomes (ease of use, interface, and satisfaction, acceptability, usefulness, coherence, setting, adherence, appropriateness) in a K-12 school using qualitative focus group interviews with key stakeholders, survey responses, and HABIT device usage data. We will present both the quantitative performance metrics and the qualitative contextualized insights of HABIT implementation. The proposal is the research component of a comprehensive training plan that is designed to provide a foundation for my career as a physician-scientist through the Yale MD-PhD program. Through these aims, we seek to provide insights that are essential for developing an integrated approach to keep both children and teachers safe in the event of the current and future respiratory viral outbreaks and pandemics.

项目摘要/摘要 自从COVID-19大流行以来，已经取得了进展，但该病毒的扩散仍然构成 对学校安全的威胁。由于 儿童之间的社交互动，拥挤的机构环境，高风险的课外活动， 和疫苗接种覆盖率不足。孩子与父母和其他家庭有密切的互动 活跃于社会各个部门的成员。确保K-12学校安全对于最大程度地减少社区至关重要 传输和恢复最佳社会功能。 由于新变体的出现，迅速减弱的抗体，COVID，COVID-19不太可能灭绝 行为疲劳和低疫苗接种覆盖率。 K-12学校的预防和控制挑战 从当前的大流行和未来的呼吸威胁中持续存在。我们的研究预计下一步 爆发预防和管理以及研究主题（即疫苗接种）与学校高度相关 在这种或将来的呼吸威胁（Covid，流感）中的安全。我们将研究K-12学校的经验 在大流行期间通过以下目的： 目标1：进行范围审查，以识别和清单当前的研究和证据质量 COVID-19对K-12学校的影响 目标2：调查个人利益相关者和学校行政级别的经验以及有关 通过利益相关者在本地K-12学校进行大流行期间的疫苗接种和安全实践 纵向调查（AIM 2A）和定性探索性半结构化访谈 （AIM 2B）。 目标3：评估基于硬件辅助的基于蓝牙的感染跟踪设备（习惯）的实施 在高中时通过混合方法研究。我们将评估习惯的实施成果（放松 使用，接口和满意度，可接受性，有用性，连贯性，设置，依从性，适当性） K-12学校使用定性焦点小组访谈与主要利益相关者，调查回应和习惯 设备使用数据。我们将同时介绍定量性能指标和定性的上下文化 实施习惯的见解。 该提案是综合培训计划的研究组成部分，旨在提供 通过耶鲁大学MD-PHD计划，我作为医师科学家的职业生涯的基础。通过这些目标，我们 寻求提供有关开发综合方法至关重要的见解，以保持两个孩子和 如果当前和未来的呼吸道病毒爆发和大流行病，教师会安全。
