The 2x2 Project is a collaboration of epidemiologists, health science communicators and writers that publishes public health news and analysis.〔http://the2x2project.org〕 The project is sponsored by the Columbia University's Department of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health.〔http://www.mailman.columbia.edu/academic-departments/epidemiology〕 ==Background== The 2x2 Project went live on September 10, 2012 using the slogan, "Health Beyond the Headlines."〔http://www.ghdonline.org/yp-chronic/discussion/introducing-the-2x2-project/〕 The principle behind the 2x2 project's creation is that public health information should be accessible to everyone, not just researchers who read scientific literature. Its goal is to share health news and information in clear, compelling language that engages the public. Contributors and fellows write stories discussing issues varying from AIDS activism to brain trauma in professional football players.〔http://the2x2project.org/the-impact-of-aids-activism-an-interview-with-david-france/〕〔http://the2x2project.org/databyte-football-head-trauma/〕 The project also publishes a weekly roundup of the "best and worst" health news from around the web, ranking reports on a scale from 'Fail' to 'FTW' (For the Win).〔http://the2x2project.org/weekly-roundup-17/〕 The Editor in Chief is (Dana March ), an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health.〔http://www.mailman.columbia.edu/our-faculty/profile?uni=dm2025〕 According to their website, the 2x2 Project wants to bring epidemiology, the science of public health focused on the promotion of population health through disease prevention, out of the ivory tower: "Our goal through the 2×2 Project is to engage a broader audience—including thought leaders and policy makers from outside the discipline—who can help translate scientific findings into practice."〔http://the2x2project.org/about/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2x2 Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
