DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Paasche-Orlow, M: Health Literacy Research Conference The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has defined health literacy as the "degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions." Unfortunately, fully 22% of US adults have only basic and an additional 14% have below basic health literacy. The relationship between limited literacy and adverse health outcomes has been well documented, and seminal reports about health literacy have been issued by the Institute of Medicine, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, American Medical Association, and Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospital Organizations among others. Each of these reports advocates further research to develop an effective response and research in health literacy has begun to flourish. An important step to cultivate this emerging research field is to establish a national professional interdisciplinary home for investigators dedicated to health literacy research. We have set the stage with several successful meetings. In this grant application we propose to expand on our prior work to deliver a series of three annual conferences along a multi-year trajectory dedicated to the promotion of the field of health literacy research. These meetings will be designed to provide a venue to focus attention on health literacy research, emphasizing the role of health literacy research in topics such as patient safety, effectiveness of interventions, quality, prevention and care management, and information technology. The meeting will serve as an incubator for young investigators and will encourage a cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge, collaboration, and creativity. We aim to create an environment in which controversial topics within the research community can be openly discussed. Dr. Paasche-Orlow has served as a guest editor for special journal issues emerging from each of the past meetings; we plan to continue our successful dissemination efforts with additional special issues on Health Literacy. We also plan to improve the meeting's Web site so that it can serve as a public resource for sharing information about health literacy measurement instruments.

描述（由申请人提供）：Paasche-Orlow, M：健康素养研究会议 美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 将健康素养定义为“个人有能力获取、处理和理解做出适当健康决策所需​​的基本健康信息和服务的程度”。不幸的是，整整 22% 的美国成年人只具备基本的健康素养，另外 14% 的人缺乏基本的健康素养。有限的识字能力与不良健康结果之间的关系已得到充分记录，医学研究所、医疗保健研究与质量机构、美国医学会和医院组织认证联合委员会等都发布了有关健康素养的开创性报告。这些报告均主张进一步研究以制定有效的应对措施，并且健康素养研究已开始蓬勃发展。培育这一新兴研究领域的重要一步是建立国家级专业 致力于健康素养研究的研究者的跨学科之家。我们已经举办了几次成功的会议。在这项拨款申请中，我们建议扩大我们之前的工作，沿着多年的轨迹举办一系列三届年度会议，致力于促进健康素养研究领域。这些会议旨在提供一个集中关注健康素养研究的场所，强调健康素养研究在患者安全、干预措施有效性、质量、预防和护理管理以及信息技术等主题中的作用。这次会议将成为年轻研究者的孵化器，并将鼓励跨学科的知识交流、合作和创造力。我们的目标是创造一个可以公开讨论研究界争议话题的环境。 Paasche-Orlow 博士担任过往每次会议中出现的期刊特刊的客座编辑；我们计划继续我们成功的传播工作，推出更多关于健康素养的特刊。我们还计划改进会议网站，使其能够作为共享健康素养测量工具信息的公共资源。
