DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Family - Native American Cancer Education for Survivors (NACES) project is a collaborative effort among Native American Cancer Initiatives, Inc., Native American Cancer Research and OCEAN Consulting. NACES is an ongoing, interactive, web-based supportive education intervention. Although the site is designed for Native Americans with cancer, many Native family members without cancer use the NACES website and have requested additional information specific to their needs as family members and caregivers of those with cancer. The Specific Aim of this Phase I SBIR project is to create a prototype and use it to establish the technical merit and feasibility of developing a web-based, multimedia education and support product for family members of Native American cancer patients. The product, a complement to the highly successful NACES program, will be an interactive, engaging and culturally appropriate web-based product designed to meet the specific information and support needs of Native Americans who have a family member with cancer. Project objectives are: (1) Develop an interactive "Family NACES" education intervention prototype in storyboard format. (2) Evaluate the "Family NACES" education storyboard prototype in five diverse geographic/cultural regions to determine the (a) cultural appropriateness of the content; and (b) technological ease- of-use and format; (3) Evaluate the target populations' satisfaction with and acceptance of the "Family NACES" prototype. Focus group, individual interview and pilot test data will be collected through the use of an Audience Response System. The data will be used to incorporate user feedback into the design, content development and identification of commercial opportunities for the distribution of the product. The ultimate goal of the Family-NACES project is to develop a product that will provide access to accurate information for family members of Native American cancer patients to dispel myths and misinformation and provide help and support for coping with needs and demands of caring for a family member with cancer. Full development and a detailed strategic plan for the commercialization of the Family-NACES product will be pursued in a Phase II SBIR application. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Family-Native American Cancer Education for Survivors SBIR Phase I proposal addresses two of NCI's 2009 key strategic objectives: (1) Improve the quality of life for cancer patients, survivors, and their families (2) Overcome cancer health disparities. American Indians and Alaska Natives continue to suffer the poorest survival from "all cancers combined" than any other racial group. The impact of this disparity is not isolated to those diagnosed with the disease but causes physical, spiritual, psychosocial and financial impact on family members who may be themselves at increased risk for the disease. The proposed Family-NACES project will result in a web-based product that will provide access to accurate, culturally relevant information for family members of Native American cancer patients to dispel myths and misinformation and provide help and support for coping with needs and demands of caring for a family member with cancer.

描述(由申请人提供)：家庭-美国原住民癌症幸存者教育(NACE)项目是美国原住民癌症倡议公司、美国原住民癌症研究公司和海洋咨询公司共同努力的成果。NACES是一个持续的、互动的、基于网络的支持性教育干预。尽管该网站是为患有癌症的美洲原住民设计的，但许多没有癌症的原住民家庭成员使用Naces网站，并要求提供针对他们作为癌症患者的家庭成员和照顾者的具体需求的额外信息。这个第一阶段SBIR项目的具体目标是创建一个原型，并利用它来确定为美洲原住民癌症患者的家庭成员开发基于网络的多媒体教育和支持产品的技术优势和可行性。该产品是非常成功的NACES计划的补充，将是一个互动的、吸引人的和文化上合适的基于网络的产品，旨在满足有癌症家庭成员的美洲原住民的特定信息和支持需求。项目目标是：(1)以故事板的形式开发一个互动的“家庭空间”教育干预原型。(2)在五个不同的地理/文化区域评估“家庭空位”教育情节提要原型，以确定(A)内容的文化适当性；(B)技术易用性和格式；(3)评估目标人群对“家庭空位”原型的满意度和接受度。将通过观众反应系统收集焦点小组、个人访谈和试点测试数据。这些数据将用于将用户反馈纳入产品的设计、内容开发和确定产品分销的商业机会。Family-Naces项目的最终目标是开发一种产品，为美洲原住民癌症患者的家庭成员提供获得准确信息的途径，以消除神话和错误信息，并为应对照顾患有癌症的家庭成员的需求和要求提供帮助和支持。Naces系列产品的全面开发和详细的商业化战略计划将在第二阶段的SBIR应用中进行。公共卫生相关性：家庭-美国原住民癌症教育幸存者SBIR第一阶段提案涉及NCI 2009年的两个主要战略目标：(1)提高癌症患者、幸存者及其家人的生活质量；(2)克服癌症健康差距。美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民继续遭受着比其他任何种族都要差的“所有癌症的总和”。这种差异的影响并不是孤立于那些被诊断患有这种疾病的人，而是对那些本身可能面临更高的疾病风险的家庭成员造成身体、精神、心理社会和经济上的影响。拟议的Family-Naces项目将产生一种基于网络的产品，为美洲原住民癌症患者的家庭成员提供准确的、与文化相关的信息，以消除神话和错误信息，并为应对照顾患有癌症的家庭成员的需求和要求提供帮助和支持。
