Abstract The objective of the proposed project is to develop an innovative intervention to disseminate health information to minority underserved populations with limited literacy skills using focus group and survey research methods. We propose to develop a simple easy to read (< fifth-grade readability) and highly illustrated intervention on breast and cervical cancer screening as well as to conduct a pilot randomized trial to test the hypothesis that the proposed intervention is more efficacious at improving breast and cervical cancer knowledge and screening than the current general American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute materials. This project is significant in that it will improve health related knowledge and outcomes for underrepresented minorities. It also has the potential to give minorities the ability to disseminate information, impact attitudes toward screening, treatment and complications, and share disease-related information with their families and peers, who are then able to lend better social and family support. Those who participate in this study may have better cancer related knowledge, and improved quality of life. In addition, it builds the groundwork for additional future studies.

摘要 拟议项目的目标是开发一种创新的干预措施来传播健康信息。 利用重点小组和调查研究方法，向识字能力有限的服务不足的少数群体提供援助。 我们建议开发一个简单易读(五年级的可读性)和高度图文并茂的干预措施 乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查，以及进行试点随机试验，以检验以下假设 建议的干预措施在提高乳腺癌和宫颈癌知识以及 筛查比目前一般的美国癌症学会和美国国家癌症研究所的材料。这 该项目意义重大，因为它将改善代表不足的人的健康相关知识和成果 少数族裔。它还有可能使少数群体有能力传播信息，影响态度 用于筛查、治疗和并发症，并与他们的家人和 同龄人，这样他们就能提供更好的社会和家庭支持。那些参与这项研究的人可能有 更好的癌症相关知识，提高生活质量。此外，它还为其他 未来的研究。
