Project Abstract 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.

项目摘要 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“获得健康的程度” 哪些人有能力获得、处理和理解基本健康 做出适当的健康决策所需​​的信息和服务。”不幸的是， 整整 22% 的美国成年人仅拥有基本健康状况，另有 14% 的成年人健康状况低于基本水平 识字。识字率有限与不良健康结果之间的关系 已有详细记录，并发布了关于健康素养的开创性报告 美国医疗保健研究与质量局医学研究所 医学会和医院评审联合委员会 组织等。每一份报告都主张进一步研究 制定有效的应对措施，健康素养方面的研究已开始蓬勃发展。 培育这一新兴研究领域的重要一步是建立一个 致力于健康研究的国家专业跨学科之家 扫盲研究。我们已经举办了几次成功的会议。在这个 拨款申请我们建议扩展我们之前的工作以提供一系列三个 沿着多年轨迹致力于促进该领域的年度会议 健康素养研究。这些会议旨在提供一个集中讨论的场所 重视健康素养研究，强调健康素养研究在健康教育中的作用 主题包括患者安全、干预措施的有效性、质量、预防和护理 管理、信息技术。此次会议将作为一个孵化器 年轻的研究人员并将鼓励跨学科的知识交流， 协作和创造力。我们的目标是创造一个有争议的环境 研究界内的主题可以公开讨论。 Paasche-Orlow 博士有 担任过去每一期期刊特刊的客座编辑 会议；我们计划继续我们成功的传播工作，并提供更多 关于健康素养的特别问题。我们还计划改进会议网站，以便 它可以作为共享健康素养信息的公共资源 测量仪器。
