Health Literacy Core

项目摘要：健康素养核心 路易斯安那州临床和医院健康素养(HL)关键组成部分活动(KCA)的总体目标 翻译科学中心(LA CATS)旨在将健康素养原则灌输到更广泛的临床 调查人员进行的旨在改善健康结果和缩小差距的研究 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上再接再厉 在第一个资助周期内，将HL服务扩展到更多地点的更多不同的研究人员。我们会 通过与其他KCA合作形成研究，继续将HL嵌入洛杉矶CATS服务的所有方面 跨现有和新机构的团队解决针对性疾病(糖尿病、肥胖症和癌症)和 精准医疗行动。我们将与生物医学信息学KCA合作，在他们新创建的 生物信息学和基因组学(BIG)和精密医学(PMP)计划，以获得信息和同意 用于基因组研究和生物信息库，更易于访问和理解。特定的目标旨在 改善健康结果和减少健康差距：目标1.推广HL最佳实践以改善患者 了解和使用新的卫生技术，以改善对慢性病、药物治疗的管理 坚持和预防性护理。目标2.加强和扩大在以下方面的外联和关系建设 社区和乡村诊所需要加强临床服务不足人群的招募和留住 研究和生物库。目标3.作为我们新研究的一部分，将HL培训扩展到调查人员 合作伙伴，包括儿科、护理、牙科和退伍军人的医疗保健环境，重点是使健康 护理和研究材料和信息识字率和文化上适合弱势群体 改善他们的健康结果和增加临床试验招募的目标。目标4.发展识字能力 以及适合弱势患者的基因组学和生物库信息和同意文件 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，包括识字，适当使用新的保健技术，以增加弱势群体的参与 人群2)指导调查人员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信息库的参与度；3)使我们的活动与其他洛杉矶猫保持一致 KCA提供更全面和协调的调查人员培训，目的是促进研究 以改善健康结果，并指导与洛杉矶猫基因组学专家和其他KCA的合作 开发关于基因组学和生物银行的通俗易懂、透明和可获取的信息，这是一项新倡议 为洛杉矶的猫科动物。

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.
