 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our team is proposing a community-academic partnership to build capacity to assess the reach and impact of communication initiatives that utilize ICTs in Senegal and West Africa more generally. The UCLA-RAES-UCAD Health Communication and ICT Research Training Program will use a problem based learning approach with West African graduate students who will learn how ICTs are used to communicate health information and health communication research methods. UCLA Fielding School of Public Health faculty in collaboration with social science faculty from Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), Institut de Science de L environment (ISE) in Dakar, Senegal will train 10 doctoral students per year with 30 trained over the grant period. The training will be structured as an intensive short course with skills based practice components. A comprehensive curriculum in ICT health communication development, implementation and research will emphasize formative, process, and summative evaluation for mass mediated communication so that students acquire basic evaluation skills. As part of the training, students and faculty will collect and analyze data from a currently funded regional transmedia health communication initiative called C est La Vie, organized and funded by collaborative partner Reseau Africain D Education pour La Sante ( RAES). C est La Vie, has as its mission, transforming how health care services especially for maternal and child health and reproductive health are used, understood and delivered at the population level in West Africa. We also propose to use digital hardware and software to collect and analyze the monitoring and evaluation data collected in as low cost and sustainable fashion as possible. Overall, research education aims include building the capacity of West African social researchers to describe, evaluate, and analyze planned health communication initiatives; using digital hardware and software to collect and analyze data; and leveraging existing collaborative projects with long term partner in Senegal (RAES) and with a large public University in Senegal (UCAD) to benefit faculty and student learning by having them participate in actual health communication intervention evaluation. Thus, students trained will become the next generation of experts to document and stimulate innovation in new media and health interventions in Senegal and francophone West Africa more generally, as well as attaining the skills to participate in global academic and research culture in health communication.

 描述（由申请人提供）：我们的团队正在提议建立社区学术伙伴关系，以建立能力，以评估更广泛地利用信息通信技术在塞内加尔和西非的传播举措的影响力和影响。 UCLA-RAES-UCAD 健康传播和信息通信技术研究。培训计划将采用基于问题的学习方法，西非研究生将与加州大学洛杉矶分校菲尔丁公共卫生学院的社会科学教师合作，学习如何使用信息通信技术来传播健康信息和健康传播研究方法。位于塞内加尔达喀尔的谢赫安塔迪奥普大学 (UCAD) 环境科学学院 (ISE) 每年将培训 10 名博士生，其中 30 名博士生将在资助期内接受培训。培训将采用基于技能实践的强化短期课程。信息通信技术健康传播开发、实施和研究的综合课程将强调大众媒介传播的形成性、过程性和总结性评估，以便学生获得基本的评估技能。分析当前资助的名为 C est La Vie 的区域跨媒体健康传播计划的数据，该计划由合作伙伴 Reseau Africain D Education pour La Sante (RAES) 组织和资助，其使命是改变医疗保健服务的方式。我们还建议使用数字硬件和软件来收集和分析以尽可能低成本和可持续的方式收集的监测和评估数据。总体而言，研究教育旨在包括构建.西非社会研究人员描述、评估和分析计划的健康传播计划的能力；使用数字硬件和软件收集和分析数据，并利用与塞内加尔长期合作伙伴（RAES）和大型公立大学的现有合作项目；塞内加尔大学（UCAD）通过让教师和学生参与实际的健康传播干预评估来有益于他们的学习。因此，接受培训的学生将成为记录和刺激塞内加尔和西非法语区新媒体和健康干预创新的下一代专家。更一般地，以及获得参与健康传播领域全球学术和研究文化的技能。
