DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to develop a computer-based Disparities, Culture and Health course which uses interactive multimedia technology to integrate the acquisition new attitudes, knowledge, and skills for reducing disparities in health. The course will consist of five modules (sections) and provide a comprehensive introduction to health care disparities and cultural competence for health care professionals and students (physicians, nurses, social workers, etc.). The goal is to improve users' understanding of disparities and the role of culture in healthcare, thereby promoting cross-cultural clinical encounters that are satisfying to both patients and providers, lead to better health outcomes, and help to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in care. In order to motivate healthcare professionals and students to engage in cultural competence training (CCT), they must first be educated about the disparities in the quality of health care that make CCT an essential rather than peripheral aspect of medical education. Therefore the module developed in Phase I will be Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Health Care for physicians in training. The educational goals of the Disparities module are: 1) familiarize learners with the evidence for racial/ethnic disparities; 2) review potential factors contributing to disparities, including provider bias and communication; 3) provide opportunities for self-assessment of attitudes toward racial and ethnic diversity; 4) provide learners with strategies and skills to help reduce disparities. Usability and software performance will be evaluated as well as the modules effectiveness in meeting the learning objectives. Accrediting bodies, professional societies, governmental entities, and other influential groups (e.g., institute of Medicine) have all endorsed and prioritized efforts to increase the cultural competence of health care providers. The computer-based Disparities, Culture and Health course is timely and will meet a growing demand for a variety of CCT training materials.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在开发基于计算机的差异、文化和健康课程，该课程使用交互式多媒体技术来整合所获得的新态度、知识和技能，以减少健康差异。该课程将由五个模块（部分）组成，全面介绍医疗保健专业人员和学生（医生、护士、社会工作者等）的医疗保健差异和文化能力。目标是提高用户对差异和文化在医疗保健中的作用的理解，从而促进让患者和提供者都满意的跨文化临床接触，带来更好的健康结果，并有助于消除护理方面的种族和民族差异。 为了激励医疗保健专业人员和学生参与文化能力培训 (CCT)，必须首先让他们了解医疗保健质量的差异，从而使 CCT 成为医学教育的一个重要方面，而不是次要方面。因此，第一阶段开发的模块将为接受培训的医生提供医疗保健中的种族/民族差异。差异模块的教育目标是： 1) 让学习者熟悉种族/民族差异的证据； 2) 审查造成差异的潜在因素，包括提供者偏见和沟通； 3）提供自我评估对种族和民族多样性态度的机会； 4）为学习者提供有助于减少差异的策略和技能。将评估可用性和软件性能以及模块在实现学习目标方面的有效性。 认证机构、专业协会、政府实体和其他有影响力的团体（例如医学研究所）都认可并优先考虑提高医疗保健提供者的文化能力的努力。基于计算机的差异、文化和健康课程非常及时，将满足对各种 CCT 培训材料不断增长的需求。
