School-aged children experienced substantial challenges to health and well-being as a result of school-building closures due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. In hopes of supporting equitable and safe school reopening for every student across North Carolina (NC) and improving child health, researchers from Duke University and the University at North Carolina at Chapel Hill established the ABC Science Collaborative (ABCs) in July 2020. The ABCs collected data related to in-school severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission and adherence to mitigation strategies. These data were presented to NC government officials, including the NC Department of Health and Human Services, the NC Department of Public Instruction, and Democratic and Republican representatives from the NC General Assembly. These data-sharing practices led to the implementation of in-person school legislation in early 2021 in which in-person school access for every student was required, the full-time in-person reopening of NC public schools was supported, and weekly reporting to the ABCs of coronavirus disease 2019 infections from >1 000 000 children and adults was required.

从研究到政策：在 COVID-19 大流行期间重新开放北卡罗来纳州的 K-12 学校。

2019 年冠状病毒病大流行导致学校建筑关闭，学龄儿童的健康和福祉面临巨大挑战。为了支持北卡罗来纳州 (NC) 每位学生公平、安全地重新开放学校并改善儿童健康，杜克大学和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的研究人员于 2020 年 7 月成立了 ABC 科学合作组织 (ABC)。收集了与学校内严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 传播和遵守缓解策略相关的数据。这些数据已提交给北卡罗来纳州政府官员，包括北卡罗来纳州卫生与公众服务部、北卡罗来纳州公共教育部以及北卡罗来纳州大会的民主党和共和党代表。这些数据共享做法导致 2021 年初实施了面对面学校立法，其中要求每个学生都可以亲自到校上课，支持北卡罗来纳州公立学校全日制面对面重新开放，并每周向学校报告需要超过 1 000 000 名儿童和成人感染 2019 年冠状病毒病的基本知识。
