Health Literacy Core

项目概要：健康文献核心 健康素养（HL）路易斯安那州临床和医学中心的关键组成部分活动（KCA）的总体目标 转化科学中心（LA CaTS）是注入健康素养的原则，在更广泛的各种临床 由调查人员进行的旨在改善健康结果和减少差异的研究 在路易斯安那州的弱势群体中。我们将在已建立的成功研究基础设施的基础上， 在第一个资助周期，并扩大HL服务，以更广泛的研究人员在更多的网站。我们将 通过与其他KCA合作开展研究，继续将HL嵌入LA CaTS服务的各个方面 现有和新机构的团队，以解决目标疾病（糖尿病，肥胖和癌症）， 精准医疗倡议。我们将与生物医学信息学KCA合作， 生物信息学和基因组学（BIG）和精准医学（PMP）计划，使信息和同意 基因组研究和生物储存库更容易访问和理解。具体目标旨在 改善健康成果和缩小健康差距：目标1。扩展HL最佳实践，以改善患者 了解和使用新的卫生技术，以改善慢性病的管理，药物治疗 坚持和预防护理。目标2.加强和扩大外联和建立关系， 社区和农村诊所需要加强招募和保留临床服务不足的人群 研究和生物储存库。目标3。作为我们新研究的一部分，将HL培训扩展到研究者 合作伙伴，包括儿科，护理，牙科和退伍军人的医疗保健设置，重点是使健康 在文化上适合弱势群体的扫盲和研究材料和信息 目标是改善他们的健康结果，增加临床试验的招募。目标4。制定扫盲 和文化上适当的基因组学和生物库信息以及弱势患者的同意文件 已知不太可能参与临床试验。我们将通过以下方式实现这些目标：1）扩大HL 培训包括扫盲适当使用新的保健技术，以增加弱势群体的参与 2）指导研究者与安全网患者和提供者建立信任关系 提高临床试验和生物储存库的参与度; 3）将我们的活动与其他LA CaTS保持一致 KCA提供更全面和协调的研究者培训，以促进研究 4）指导与LA CaTS基因组学专家和其他KCA的合作， 开发简单的语言，透明和可访问的基因组学和生物银行信息，这是一项新的倡议， 洛杉矶猫

PROJECT SUMMARY: HEALTH LITERACY CORE The overarching goal of the Health Literacy (HL) Key Component Activity (KCA) of the Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science Center (LA CaTS) is to infuse health literacy principles in a wider variety of clinical research conducted by investigators toward the objective to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities among Louisiana's vulnerable populations. We will build on the successful research infrastructure established during the 1st funding cycle and expand HL services to a wider variety of researchers in more sites. We will continue to embed HL in all aspects of LA CaTS services by collaborating with other KCAs to form research teams across current and new institutions to address targeted diseases (diabetes, obesity, and cancer) and precision medicine initiatives. We will collaborate with Biomedical Informatics KCA in their newly created Bioinformatics and Genomics (BIG) and Precision Medicine (PMP) programs to make information and consent for genomic research and biorepositories easier to access and understand. Specific Aims are designed to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities: Aim 1. To expand HL best practices to improve patient understanding and use of new health technologies to improve management of chronic diseases, medication adherence and preventive care. Aim 2. To enhance and expand outreach and relationship building in community and rural clinics needed to enhance recruitment and retention of underserved populations in clinical research and biorepositories. Aim 3. To expand HL training to investigators as part of our new research partners that include pediatric, nursing, dental, and veteran's healthcare settings with a focus on making health care and research materials and messages literacy and culturally appropriate for vulnerable populations with the goal of improving their health outcomes and increasing recruitment in clinical trials. Aim 4. Develop literacy and culturally appropriate genomics and biobanking information and consent documents for vulnerable patients known to be less likely to participate in clinical trials. We will accomplish these aims by: 1) expanding HL training to include literacy appropriate use of new health technologies to increase engagement of vulnerable populations 2) guiding investigators in developing trusting relationships with safety-net patients and providers to improve participation in clinical trials and biorepositories; 3) aligning our activities with the other LA CaTS KCAs to provide more comprehensive and coordinated investigators training with a goal of facilitating research to improve health outcomes and 4) guiding collaboration with LA CaTS genomics experts and other KCAs to develop plain language, transparent and accessible information on genomics and bio banking, a new initiative for LA CaTS.
