DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Paasche-Orlow, M: Health Literacy Research Conference The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has defined health literacy as the "degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions." Unfortunately, fully 22% of US adults have only basic and an additional 14% have below basic health literacy. The relationship between limited literacy and adverse health outcomes has been well documented, and seminal reports about health literacy have been issued by the Institute of Medicine, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, American Medical Association, and Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospital Organizations among others. Each of these reports advocates further research to develop an effective response and research in health literacy has begun to flourish. An important step to cultivate this emerging research field is to establish a national professional interdisciplinary home for investigators dedicated to health literacy research. We have set the stage with several successful meetings. In this grant application we propose to expand on our prior work to deliver a series of three annual conferences along a multi-year trajectory dedicated to the promotion of the field of health literacy research. These meetings will be designed to provide a venue to focus attention on health literacy research, emphasizing the role of health literacy research in topics such as patient safety, effectiveness of interventions, quality, prevention and care management, and information technology. The meeting will serve as an incubator for young investigators and will encourage a cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge, collaboration, and creativity. We aim to create an environment in which controversial topics within the research community can be openly discussed. Dr. Paasche-Orlow has served as a guest editor for special journal issues emerging from each of the past meetings; we plan to continue our successful dissemination efforts with additional special issues on Health Literacy. We also plan to improve the meeting's Web site so that it can serve as a public resource for sharing information about health literacy measurement instruments.

描述（由申请人提供）：Paasche-Orlow，M：健康素养研究会议美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）将健康素养定义为“个人有能力获得，处理和了解做出适当健康决定所需的基本健康信息和服务的程度”。不幸的是，美国完全有22％的成年人只有基础，而另外14％的人的健康素养低于基本的健康素养。识字率和不良健康成果之间的关系已得到充分记录，医学研究所，医疗保健研究与质量，美国医学协会和医院组织认证联合委员会的开创性报告已经发布了有关健康素养的报告。这些报告中的每一个都提倡进一步的研究以发展有效的响应，并且在健康素养方面的研究开始蓬勃发展。培养这个新兴研究领域的重要步骤是建立国家专业人员 致力于健康素养研究的调查人员的跨学科之家。我们已经通过几次成功的会议设定了舞台。在此赠款申请中，我们建议扩展我们的先前工作，以在多年的轨迹上提供一系列三个年度会议，该轨迹致力于促进健康素养研究领域。这些会议将旨在提供一个场所，以关注健康素养研究，强调健康素养研究在患者安全，干预措施，质量，​​预防和护理管理以及信息技术等主题中的作用。会议将作为年轻调查人员的孵化器，并鼓励跨学科的知识，协作和创造力交流。我们旨在创造一个环境，在该环境中，可以公开讨论研究社区中有争议的主题。 Paasche-Orlow博士曾担任过去每一次会议中出现的特别期刊问题的客座编辑；我们计划在健康素养方面继续成功的传播工作。我们还计划改善会议网站，以便它可以作为共享有关健康素养测量工具的信息的公共资源。
