DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While the cancer incidence among Hispanics is generally lower than the cancer incidence among non-Hispanic whites, the proportion of cancers diagnosed in advanced stages is greater. A need exists to create solutions for the development of culturally appropriate and literacy sensitive cancer communications regarding screening, early detection and prevention and to effectively penetrate this information within the Hispanic community. An increased understanding of community members' information needs is required to fuel such initiatives. Currently, there are few available data that provide baseline information with regard to cancer perceptions and priorities and communication preferences and practices, necessary to develop relevant cancer communication initiatives in the community. Therefore, the overarching goal of this two-year exploratory project, entitled REACH (Relevant Education and Communications for Hispanics), is to develop an appropriate questionnaire for assessing cancer information needs. This project builds upon an existing strong research partnership between the Moffitt Cancer Center and the Puerto Rico Cancer Center and brings together a strong interdisciplinary team that aims to positively impact the health of underserved Hispanic and low literacy populations. Specific aims are: To conduct and analyze a series of focus groups to explore cancer information needs among Puerto Ricans residing in Hillsborough County, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is expected that insights gained from the focus groups will inform the development of the questionnaire domains relating to perceptions of cancer information needs and priorities and communication preferences and practices. To develop a draft of a Spanish/English questionnaire using systematic planning methods and a series of iterative processes. This will be accomplished through a review of existing questionnaires, relevant literature, infusion of key findings from focus groups, evaluation of content validity, and application of continual improvement steps including cognitive evaluation and learner verification techniques. It is expected that the use of systematic processes will yield information about understandability, cultural, literacy, and linguistic acceptability, validity, and attractiveness of the questionnaire. To pretest the questionnaire among a sample of Puerto Ricans in Hillsborough County, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is expected that pretesting will yield important information about overall reliability (test-retest procedures) and questionnaire flow. It is anticipated that this project will yield a questionnaire that can be exported and used in larger community-based intervention studies with minor modifications.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然西班牙裔中的癌症发病率通常低于非西班牙裔白人中的癌症发病率，但在高级阶段诊断的癌症的比例较大。需要为开发有关筛查，早期发现和预防的文化敏感癌症传播的开发解决方案，并有效地将这些信息渗透到西班牙裔社区中。需要对社区成员的信息需求进行越来越多的了解，以加剧此类倡议。当前，很少有可用的数据提供有关癌症观念，优先事项以及交流偏好和实践的基线信息，这是开发社区中相关癌症交流计划所必需的。因此，这个为期两年的探索性项目的总体目标，题为《覆盖范围》（有关西班牙裔的相关教育和沟通），是为了评估癌症信息需求的适当问卷。该项目建立在莫菲特癌症中心与波多黎各癌症中心之间现有的强大研究合作伙伴关系的基础上，并汇集了一个强大的跨学科团队，旨在积极影响服务不善的西班牙裔和低识字群体的健康。具体目的是：进行和分析一系列焦点小组，以探索居住在佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县和波多黎各圣胡安的波多黎各人的癌症信息需求。预计从焦点小组获得的见解将为与癌症信息需求以及优先事项以及交流偏好和实践的看法有关的问卷领域的发展提供信息。使用系统的计划方法和一系列迭代过程来开发西班牙/英语问卷的草案。 这将通过审查现有问卷，相关文献，对焦点小组的关键发现，内容有效性的评估以及持续改进步骤的应用来实现，包括认知评估和学习者验证技术。预计系统过程的使用将产生有关问卷的可理解性，文化，识字和语言可接受性，有效性和吸引力的信息。在佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县和波多黎各圣胡安的波多黎各人样本中进行测试问卷。 预计测试将产生有关总体可靠性（测试 - 重新测试程序）和问卷流量的重要信息。可以预料，该项目将产生一份调查表，该问卷可以在较大的基于社区的干预研究中出口和使用，并进行了较小的修改。
