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.

项目概要/摘要 尽管自 COVID-19 大流行爆发以来已经取得了进展，但病毒的传播仍然构成了挑战 威胁学校安全。由于以下原因，K-12 学校中的病毒传播受到严重关注： 儿童之间密切的社交互动、拥挤的机构环境、高风险的课外活动， 以及疫苗接种覆盖率不足。孩子与父母和其他家庭成员有密切的互动 活跃于社会各阶层的成员。保证 K-12 学校的安全对于最大限度地减少社区影响至关重要 传输和恢复最佳的社会功能。 由于新变种的出现、抗体迅速减弱、COVID-19 不太可能灭绝 行为疲劳和疫苗接种覆盖率低。 K-12学校防控面临的挑战 从当前的大流行和未来的呼吸道威胁中持续存在。我们的研究预计下一步 疫情预防和管理以及学习主题（即疫苗接种）与学校高度相关 当前或未来呼吸道威胁（新冠肺炎、流感）的安全性。我们将考察K-12学校的经验 疫情期间，本着以下目标： 目标 1：进行范围界定审查，以识别和盘点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层面的经验和担忧 通过利益相关者对当地 K-12 学校的研究，在大流行期间进行疫苗接种和安全实践 对学校管理人员进行纵向调查（目标 2A）和定性探索性半结构化访谈 （目标 2B）。 目标 3：评估硬件辅助的基于蓝牙的感染跟踪设备 (HABIT) 的实施 在高中环境中通过混合方法研究。我们将评估HABIT的实施成果（轻松 使用、界面和满意度、可接受性、有用性、连贯性、设置、依从性、适当性） K-12 学校对主要利益相关者进行定性焦点小组访谈、调查回复和习惯 设备使用数据。我们将介绍定量绩效指标和定性情境指标 习惯实施的见解。 该提案是综合培训计划的研究组成部分，旨在提供 通过耶鲁大学医学博士项目为我作为医师科学家的职业生涯奠定了基础。通过这些目标，我们 寻求提供对于制定综合方法以保持儿童和儿童利益至关重要的见解。 在当前和未来发生呼吸道病毒爆发和流行病时确保教师的安全。
