Live Smart Live Safe: Emergency Prep. for People with Intellectual Disabilities

描述（由申请人提供）：智力残疾技术援助研究所，公司。建议开发一系列公共卫生和应急准备教育方案，以满足残疾人以及为他们服务的机构和组织的需求。Live Smart Live Safe（LSLS）计划将解决公共卫生，自然和人为灾害的物质，行为和情感准备。这项工作的最终成果将是LSLS计划，包括CD-ROM，DVD和基于图片的“911笔记本”（911笔记），专为智障人士（ID）的独特学习需求。这些方案将通过公共卫生和社会服务、公立和私立教育机构以及宣传和支持服务机构和家庭进行传播，这些机构和家庭帮助残疾青年和成年人在全国各地的社区实现充分包容和独立。鉴于国家护理研究所（NINR）专注于国家面临的关键健康问题的生物和行为方面，该应用程序解决了NINR的优先事项，包括a）通过预防或延迟疾病来改善与健康相关的生活质量，B）建立更好的方法来促进健康和预防疾病，B）促进干预措施以消除健康差异，以及c）开发技术以帮助个人减少环境暴露（例如，化学和病毒制剂）。这一应用的第二阶段将扩大第一阶段的原型方案，并开发和评估其余三个互动式光盘计算机培训方案，以应对公共卫生紧急情况、自然灾害和人为灾害，包括恐怖主义。沿着光盘程序，将开发四个配套DVD程序，以及一个以图片为基础的911说明，以伴随和支持通过光盘传达的信息。我们将与一个ID患者咨询小组合作，并与公共卫生和应急准备领域的专家进行30次电话采访，以形成内容和信息呈现。我们将对整个俄勒冈州的80名轻度ID患者进行第二阶段的评估，包括前测、后测和随访评估。公共卫生相关性：大多数美国人依靠电视、书面材料和互联网来了解潜在的紧急情况，并为之做好准备。虽然轻度或中度智力障碍（ID）的人经常看电视，但大多数提供公共卫生、自然和人为灾害信息的书面材料、指南和基于网络的资源严重依赖文本，轻度或中度ID的人无法访问。其中许多人是独立的，靠自己生活，无法获得这一可能挽救生命的信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Technological Assistance Institute for Intellectual Disability, Inc. proposes to develop a product line of public health and emergency preparedness education programs to meet the needs of people with disabilities, and the institutions and organizations that serve them. The Live Smart Live Safe (LSLS) programs will address material, behavioral, and emotional preparedness for public health, natural, and man-made disasters. The final result of this work will be the LSLS programs, consisting of CD-ROM, DVD, and pictorial-based "911 Notebook" (911 Notes), designed for the unique learning needs of people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). The programs will be disseminated through public health and social service, public and private education institutions, and advocacy and support service agencies and families that assist youth and adults with disabilities as they move toward full inclusion and independence in communities across the Nation. Given the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) focus on biological and behavioral aspects of critical health problems that confront the Nation, this application addresses NINR priorities including a) improving health-related quality of life by preventing or delaying disease, b) establishing better approaches to promote health and prevent disease, b) promote interventions to eliminate health disparities, and c) to develop technologies to assist individuals in reducing environmental exposures (e.g., chemical and viral agents). Phase II of this application will expand the Phase I prototype program, and develop and evaluate the remaining three interactive CD-ROM computer-based training programs that address public health emergencies, natural, and man-made disasters including terrorism. Along with the CD-ROM programs, four companion DVD programs will be developed as well as a pictorial-based 911 Notes to accompany and support information conveyed via CD-ROM. We will work with one advisory panel of people with ID and conduct 30 telephone interviews with experts in the areas of public health and emergency preparedness to shape content and message presentation. We will evaluate the Phase II programs with 80 individuals with mild ID throughout the State of Oregon employing a pretest, posttest, and follow-up evaluation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Most Americans rely on television, written materials, and the Internet to learn about, and prepare for potential emergency situations. Although people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) such as mild, or moderate mental retardation often watch television, most written materials, guidelines, and web-based resources that provide information about public health, natural, and man-made disasters rely heavily on text, and are inaccessible to people with mild or moderate ID. People with ID, many of whom are independent and live on their own do not have access to this potentially life-saving information.
