DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), in collaboration with a consortium of community-based organizations (CBOs) and the Department of Biomedical Informatics of Columbia University, proposes this "Increasing Inner-City Access to Health Information" project in order to reduce disparities in access to health information experienced by disadvantaged inner-city residents. The project will add a low-cost and sustainable health information outreach component to existing social services programs in CBOs. The specific aims of the project are to: 1. Develop a bilingual train-the-trainer health information outreach program and tailor it to senior centers and Head Start programs. 2. Create a web site and listservs to enable Head Start and senior center program participants, staff and volunteers to contribute to the continuing development and enhancement of the health information outreach program. 3. Characterize patterns of health-information seeking behavior of participating seniors and Head Start parents before and after the health information outreach program using a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Train the- trainer classes will be based on NYAM's "Health Information on the Internet" course with a focus on bilingual consumer health resources available from the National Library of Medicine and NOAH - New York Online Access to Health. 24 CBO staff and 84 program participants will be trained during the course of the project, with 1/3 having Spanish as their primary language. NYAM is an independent, non-profit institution, committed since 1847 to enhancing the health of the public through research, education and advocacy. NYAM's Division of Information Management is responsible for developing innovative strategies for disseminating health information to professionals and the public, with a special concern for reducing urban health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）： 纽约医学院 (NYAM) 与社区联盟合作 组织（CBO）和哥伦比亚大学生物医学信息学系提出了这个“增加市中心获取健康信息”项目，以减少弱势市中心居民在获取健康信息方面的差异。该项目将为社区组织现有的社会服务计划增加低成本和可持续的健康信息外展部分。该项目的具体目标是： 1. 制定双语培训师培训健康信息外展计划，并针对老年人中心和启蒙计划进行定制。 2. 创建一个网站和列表服务，使 Head Start 和老年中心计划参与者、工作人员和志愿者能够为健康信息外展计划的持续发展和加强做出贡献。 3. 使用定量和定性技术相结合，描述参与健康信息推广计划之前和之后参与老年人和启蒙计划的父母的健康信息寻求行为模式。培训师培训课程将以 NYAM 的“互联网健康信息”课程为基础，重点关注国家医学图书馆和 NOAH（纽约在线健康获取）提供的双语消费者健康资源。 24 名 CBO 工作人员和 84 名项目参与者将在项目期间接受培训，其中 1/3 的主要语言为西班牙语。 NYAM 是一家独立的非营利机构，自 1847 年以来一直致力于通过研究、教育和宣传来增强公众的健康。 NYAM 的信息管理部门负责制定创新战略，向专业人士和公众传播健康信息，特别关注减少城市健康差距。
