西班牙裔美国人和普通美国人之间存在显著的健康差异，部分原因是沟通，识字和语言因素。有几个可用的西班牙语互动，技术驱动的健康教育计划，从事病人谁有一系列的健康素养水平。我们描述了一个互动的虚拟病人教育和咨询西班牙裔妇女宫颈癌和人乳头状瘤病毒的教育和发展。具体而言，我们描述了迭代设计方法和原理，可用性评估，并在佛罗里达的农村社区与西班牙裔妇女的系统进行试点测试。先导研究的结果提供初步证据，证明拟议的病人教育方法是可行的。拟议的应用和吸取的经验教训将证明有益于今后针对不同文化人口的工作。
Significant health disparities exist between Hispanics and the general US population, complicated in part by communication, literacy, and linguistic factors. There are few available Spanish-language interactive, technology-driven health education programs that engage patients who have a range of health literacy levels. We describe the development of an interactive virtual patient educator for educating and counseling Hispanic women about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus. Specifically, we describe the iterative design methodology and rationale, usability evaluation, and pilot testing of the system with Hispanic women in a rural community in Florida. The pilot study findings provide preliminary evidence of the feasibility of the proposed patient education approach. The proposed application and the lessons learned will prove beneficial for future work targeted towards different cultural populations.
