DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary purpose of this pilot project is to test the feasibility of using Spanish language radio dramas (radio novelas) with call-in follow-up as a way to enhance community understanding and open a dialog about biomedical and behavioral research directly pertinent to the health of the Hispanic community in the Yakima Valley of Washington. The project will use community based participatory methods to select topics and will tap into the broad expertise of researchers within the University of Washington. Radio novelas will introduce and dramatize selected health topics within an imaginary Hispanic family (the Romeros) and follow-up radio call-in sessions will provide an opportunity for dialog between researchers and the community on the topic. The radio novelas will present an entertaining lay discussion of the health topic, the research issues and the value of scientific inquiry about the topic. They will serve to educate and engage the community. The follow-up call-in program will provide an opportunity for community members to ask questions and make suggestions to an active researcher with expertise in the field and to educate researchers about concerns of the community. Several approaches to evaluation are described. The University of Washington will partner with Northwest Communities Education Center/Radio KDNA, the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic and Heritage University in this community-based participatory research project. These organizations have worked collaboratively over the past four years in a community-university partnership called "El Proyecto Bienestar/ The Well-Being Project". Evaluation data will support the development of new research proposals and expansion of the method if proven effective. The transferable products of this project will be a series of radio novelas available to other radio stations. Also, if successful, a demonstration of a tool for enhanced communication between researchers and the Hispanic community of the Yakima Valley and the validation of an important communication mechanism for future use by El Proyecto Bienestar.

描述（由申请人提供）：该试验项目的主要目的是测试使用西班牙语无线电戏剧（无线电小说）的可行性，并随访，以增强社区理解并打开有关与华盛顿雅基马瓦利西班牙裔社区健康有关的生物医学和行为研究的对话。该项目将使用基于社区的参与方法来选择主题，并利用华盛顿大学研究人员的广泛专业知识。无线电小说将在一个虚构的西班牙裔家庭（The Romeros）中介绍并戏剧化选定的健康主题，后续无线电通话会议将为研究人员与社区之间的对话提供机会。无线电小说将对健康主题，研究问题以及有关该主题的科学询问的价值进行有趣的讨论。他们将有助于教育和吸引社区。后续呼叫计划将为社区成员提供一个机会，向具有专业知识的活跃研究人员提出问题，并向研究人员提供有关社区关注点的教育。描述了几种评估方法。华盛顿大学将与西北社区教育中心/广播电台，亚基马河谷农场工人诊所和遗产大学合作，并在这个社区的参与性研究项目中合作。在过去的四年中，这些组织在一个名为“ El Proyecto Bienestar/ the Felling Project”的社区 - 大学合作伙伴关系中进行了合作。评估数据将支持新的研究建议的发展，并支持该方法的扩展，如果被证明有效。该项目的可转让产品将是其他广播电台可用的一系列无线电小说。另外，如果成功的话，可以展示一种工具，以增强研究人员与Yakima山谷的西班牙裔社区之间的交流，并验证El Proyecto Bienestar的未来使用的重要交流机制。
