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)与一个以社区为基础的 联合国儿童基金会(CBO)和哥伦比亚大学生物医学信息学系提出了这一“增加市中心获得健康信息的机会”项目，以减少处于不利地位的市中心居民在获得健康信息方面的差距。该项目将在社区组织现有的社会服务方案中增加一个低成本和可持续的健康信息推广部分。该项目的具体目标是：1.开发双语培训培训者健康信息推广计划，并为老年中心和Head Start计划量身定做。2.建立一个网站和名单服务器，使Head Start和高级中心方案的参与者、工作人员和志愿者能够为继续发展和加强健康信息推广方案作出贡献。3.采用定量和定性相结合的方法，对参加健康信息外展项目前后老年人和学前班家长的健康信息寻求行为模式进行表征。培训培训员课程将以纽约医学会的“互联网上的健康信息”课程为基础，重点放在国家医学图书馆和诺亚-纽约在线获取健康的双语消费者健康资源上。24名国会预算办公室工作人员和84名项目参与者将在项目过程中接受培训，其中三分之一的人以西班牙语为主要语言。NYAM是一个独立的非营利性机构，自1847年以来致力于通过研究、教育和宣传来增进公众的健康。NYAM的信息管理司负责制定向专业人员和公众传播健康信息的创新战略，特别关注缩小城市健康差距。
