DESCRIPTION: Multi-Media Systems will develop and evaluate a mediated TOOLBOX of medical intervention/education materials to inform Vietnamese-American women of the importance of regular screening for early detection of cervical cancer (CV). This medically underserved minority suffers from an unequal burden of CV, with 5 to 7 times higher incidence than other U.S. populations. Due to resulting late stage detection, morbidity/mortality rates are needlessly high. Inhibiting factors include language, lack of knowledge, cultural beliefs, attitudes, fears and distrust of scientific/medical organizations. Outreach organizations and health departments lack resources to develop comprehensive effective, professionally-produced and tested intervention materials. Phase I formative research, employing structured interviews, questionnaires, and focus-groups will determine the best intervention strategy(ies) and the most effective way(s) to Aframe@ the message. Three Vietnamese language radio spots, three video vignettes, and three newspaper ads, each using different approaches, will be produced and reviewed by separate focus groups of Vietnamese women and outreach professionals. In Phase II, the final TOOL BOX materials will be developed, produced and formally evaluated for effectiveness through a multiple site trial. A Subject-Matter-Expert Board will assure content accuracy. The materials will be available to outreach organizations on a subscription basis, through an innovative website featuring publishing-on-demand, down-loadable-digital-video and outreach planning/tracking/reporting system.

产品说明：多媒体系统将开发和评估医疗干预/教育材料的中介工具箱，以告知越南裔美国妇女定期筛查对早期发现宫颈癌的重要性。 这一医疗服务不足的少数群体患有不平等的CV负担，发病率比其他美国人群高5至7倍。 由于导致晚期检测，发病率/死亡率不必要地高。 抑制因素包括语言、缺乏知识、文化信仰、态度、恐惧和对科学/医疗组织的不信任。 外展组织和卫生部门缺乏资源，无法编制全面有效、专业制作和经过测试的干预材料。 第一阶段的形成性研究，采用结构化访谈，问卷调查和焦点小组将确定最佳的干预策略和最有效的方式来理解信息。 将制作三个越南语广播节目、三个录像短片和三个报纸广告，分别采用不同的方法，由越南妇女和外联专业人员组成的不同重点小组审查。 在第二阶段，将开发、生产最终工具箱材料，并通过多中心试验正式评估其有效性。 主题专家委员会将确保内容的准确性。 这些材料将通过一个创新网站以订阅方式提供给外联组织，该网站设有按需下载、下载数字视频和外联规划/跟踪/报告系统。
