Live Smart Live Safe: Emergency Prep. for People with Intellectual Disabilities

描述（由申请人提供）：智力残疾技术援助研究所，公司。建议开发一系列公共卫生和应急准备教育方案，以满足残疾人以及为他们服务的机构和组织的需求。LiveSmartLiveSafe（LSLS）计划将解决公共卫生，自然和人为灾害的物质，行为和情感准备。这项工作的最终结果将是LSLS方案，包括CD-ROM、DVD、VHS和基于图片的工作簿准备教育和准备方案，旨在满足智障人士的独特学习需求。这些方案将通过公共卫生和社会服务、公立和私立教育机构以及宣传和支持服务机构传播，这些机构帮助残疾青年和成年人在全国各地的社区实现充分包容和独立。鉴于国家护理研究所（NINR）专注于国家面临的关键健康问题的生物和行为方面，该应用程序解决了NINR的优先事项，包括a）通过预防或延迟疾病来改善与健康相关的生活质量，B）建立更好的方法来促进健康和预防疾病，B）促进干预措施以消除健康差异，以及c）开发技术以帮助个人减少环境暴露（例如，化学和病毒制剂）。该应用的第一阶段将开发和评估一个交互式光盘计算机培训方案，该方案涉及流感等传染病的传播和避免。沿着光盘计划，将开发一个以图片为基础的工作簿，以伴随和支持通过光盘传达的信息。我们将与两个顾问小组合作，以塑造内容和信息的表达。一个小组将由ID的个人组成，第二个小组将由公共卫生，应急准备和ID领域的专家组成。我们将在整个俄勒冈州评估第一阶段的原型与40名轻度ID的个人。采用前测后测的可行性评估，配对t检验将用于分析知识的增益。ANOVA将用于分析家庭个人健康应急准备工具包的开发或变化。大多数美国人依靠电视、书面材料和互联网来了解潜在的紧急情况，并为之做好准备。虽然轻度或中度智力迟钝等智力障碍患者经常看电视，但大多数提供公共卫生、自然和人为灾害信息的书面材料、指南和基于网络的资源在很大程度上依赖于文本，轻度或中度智力障碍患者无法访问。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Technological Assistance Institute for Intellectual Disability, Inc. proposes to develop a product line of public health and emergency preparedness education programs to meet the needs of people with disabilities, and the institutions and organizations that serve them. The LiveSmartLiveSafe (LSLS) programs will address material, behavioral, and emotional preparedness for public health, natural, and man-made disasters. The final result of this work will be the LSLS programs, consisting of CD-ROM, DVD, VHS, and pictorial-based workbook preparedness education and preparation programs designed for the unique learning needs of people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). The programs will be disseminated through public health and social service, public and private education institutions, and advocacy and support service agencies that assist youth and adults with disabilities as they move toward full inclusion and independence in communities across the Nation. Given the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) focus on biological and behavioral aspects of critical health problems that confront the Nation, this application addresses NINR priorities including a) improving health-related quality of life by preventing or delaying disease, b) establishing better approaches to promote health and prevent disease, b) promote interventions to eliminate health disparities, and c) to develop technologies to assist individuals in reducing environmental exposures (e.g., chemical and viral agents). Phase I of this application will develop and evaluate an interactive CD-ROM computer-based training program that addresses the transmission and avoidance of communicable diseases such as influenza. Along with the CD-ROM program, a pictorial-based workbook will be developed to accompany and support information conveyed via CD-ROM. We will work with two advisory panels to shape content and message presentation. One panel will consist of individuals with ID, and the second panel will consist of experts in the areas of public health, emergency preparedness, and ID. We will evaluate the Phase I prototype with 40 individuals with mild ID throughout the State of Oregon. Employing a pre-test post-test feasibility evaluation, paired t-tests will be used to analyze gains in knowledge. ANOVA will be used to analyze development of, or change in in-home personal health emergency preparedness kits. Most Americans rely on television, written materials, and the internet to learn about, and prepare for potential emergency situations. Although people with Intellectual Disabilities(ID) such as mild, or moderate mental retardation often watch television, most written materials, guidelines, and web-based resources that provide information about public health, natural, and man-made disasters rely heavily on text, and are inaccessible to people with mild or moderate ID.
