项目摘要

Latino and American Indian Health Workers Promoting Clinical Trials Project leader: A. Paula Cupertino, Ph.D. Project Summary: Less than three percent of all adult cancer patients participate in clinical trials. Participation is even lower for patients from vulnerable populations. Community health workers (CHW) have been shown to improve minority participation in clinical research and access to health care, so this approach holds great promise in increasing minority participation in cancer clinical trials. As the University of Kansas Cancer Center continues to build successful partnership activities in rural areas across the state, programs to raise awareness of NCI sponsored clinical trials among minorities will be crucial. The objective of this proposal is to collaboratively develop, implement, and evaluate a theory-based and culturally relevant training program to advance awareness and interest in cancer clinical trials among our state's Latino and American Indian (Al) communities. Our central hypothesis is that a culturally sensitive, language and literacy appropriate program will improve a) knowledge about clinical trials, and b) attitudes regarding clinical trials participation. The program will be carried out in two phases. In Phase 1, we will refine our Community Ambassadors for Cancer Research curriculum and train 20 community health workers (CHW). Training will equip CHWs with essential knowledge about the conduct of clinical trials, including the advantages and disadvantages of participation as well as providing CHWs with critical skills in disseminating informafion through their social networks. Implementation will be enhanced through a culturally tailored media campaign that will increase awareness about cancer research efforts, help build a knowledge base about the importance of participating in clinical trials, and reinforce CHW messages within the community. In Phase II, we will evaluate the impact of CHW activities on community knowledge and attitudes about cancer clinical trials.

拉丁美洲和美洲印第安人卫生工作者推动临床试验项目负责人：A. Paula Cupertino 博士项目概要：不到百分之三的成年癌症患者参加临床试验。来自弱势群体的患者的参与度甚至更低。社区卫生工作者 (CHW) 已被证明可以提高少数群体参与临床研究和获得医疗保健的机会，因此这种方法在提高少数参与癌症临床试验。随着堪萨斯大学癌症中心继续在全州农村地区开展成功的合作活动，提高少数族裔对 NCI 资助的临床试验认识的计划将至关重要。该提案的目的是合作开发、实施和评估基于理论和文化相关的培训计划，以提高我们的癌症临床试验的认识和兴趣该州的拉丁裔和美洲印第安人 (Al) 社区。我们的中心假设是，文化敏感、语言和读写能力适当的计划将改善 a) 关于临床试验的知识，以及 b) 对参与临床试验的态度。该计划将分两个阶段进行。在第一阶段，我们将完善癌症研究社区大使课程并培训 20 名社区卫生工作者 (CHW)。培训将为社区卫生工作者提供有关进行临床试验的基本知识，包括参与的优点和缺点，并为社区卫生工作者提供通过社交网络传播信息的关键技能。将通过针对文化定制的媒体宣传活动来加强实施，这将提高人们对癌症研究工作的认识，帮助建立关于癌症研究工作的知识库参与临床试验的重要性，并在社区内强化 CHW 信息。在第二阶段，我们将评估社区卫生工作者活动对社区对癌症临床试验的认识和态度的影响。
