DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Healthcare disparities are persistent, pervasive, and disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minority communities. Cross-cultural education in the training of health professionals as well as institutional policies and infrastructure that address the needs of racial, ethnic, and other underserved populations are critical to equitable care. Likewise, culturally competent healthcare organizations and services can have a powerful impact on increasing the equity of care for racial and ethnic minorities to ultimately reduce health disparities. The aims of the proposed Phase I research and development effort are to: 1) develop the components of a prototype for a research-based, computer-assisted cross-cultural and linguistic competency assessment and action planning toolkit that will help health organizations increase their capacity to better meet the needs of racial and ethnic minorities; and 2) test the content of the prototype and the feasibility of its implementation to prepare for the development of the complete toolkit in Phase II. Approximately 30 staff members from five health-related organizations and 24 health consumers who represent the diverse racial and ethnic groups the organizations serve will participate in focus groups. Key themes from the focus groups will help inform the refinement of assessment questions and scenarios based on situations that health consumers and providers encounter. Staff from the five organizations will pilot the prototype and participate in a webinar to discuss the components and utility of toolkit a well as ease of use, limitations, and recommendations for the design of the complete program. Item analyses will be used to examine the organizational cross-cultural and linguistic competency factors and identify clusters of organizations at various stages of cross-cultural and linguistic competency readiness and development. The aims of the proposed research are consistent with the mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to apply knowledge to enhance health and life and its goal to foster fundamental creative discoveries, innovative research strategies, and their applications as a basis for protecting and improving health. The proposed product will advance the mission of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) to promote minority health and support efforts to reduce health disparities and NIMHD's interests in interventions and translational research that address cultural competency and social determinants of health.

描述（由申请人提供）：医疗保健差异是持久，普遍和不成比例地影响种族和族裔少数民族社区。在培训卫生专业人员以及满足种族，种族和其他服务不足人群需求的机构政策和基础设施中，跨文化教育对于公平护理至关重要。同样，具有文化胜任的医疗组织和服务可能会对增加种族和少数民族的护理权益产生强大的影响，以最终减少健康差异。拟议的第一阶段研究和发展工作的目的是：1）为基于研究的，基于计算机的跨文化和语言能力评估和行动计划工具包开发原型的组成部分，以帮助卫生组织提高其能力以更好地满足种族和族裔少数民族的需求； 2）测试原型的内容及其实施的可行性，以准备在II阶段中的完整工具包的开发。来自五个与卫生有关的组织和24名代表各种种族和族裔群体的健康消费者的约30名员工将参加焦点小组。焦点小组的关键主题将帮助根据健康消费者和提供者遇到的情况来告知评估问题和方案。来自五个组织的员工将试行原型，并参加网络研讨会，讨论工具包的组件和实用性，以易于使用，易用性，限制和建议。项目分析将用于检查组织跨文化和语言能力因素，并在跨文化和语言能力的准备就绪和发展的各个阶段确定组织集群。拟议研究的目的与美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的使命一致，以应用知识来增强健康和生活及其目标，以促进基本创造性发现，创新研究策略及其作为保护和改善健康的基础的应用。拟议的产品将推进国家少数民族健康与健康差异（NIMHD）的使命，以促进少数民族健康，并支持减少健康差异和NIMHD在干预和转化研究中的利益，以解决文化能力和健康的社会决定因素。
