Task Order 14: Culturally appropriate TB education materials for
leaders and staff of Hispanic service organizations
Task Order 14 seeks to develop culturally appropriate
tuberculosis educational materials for leaders and staff of Hispanic
service organizations. These materials, produced in both English and
Spanish, will provide HSOs with information that addresses their
specific cultural and educational needs about TB. The materials will
also enable TB control programs to more effectively collaborate with
HSOs in their efforts to eliminate tuberculosis.
Sites
University of North Texas at Fort Worth, TX
Study Objectives
- Develop culturally appropriate tuberculosis educational
materials for leaders and staff of Hispanic service
organizations (HSOs) to be used by state and local TB programs
to enhance their partnership efforts with HSOs.
Study Design
In order to develop these materials in a targeted fashion,
exploratory research and formative evaluation will be conducted to
determine a) channels through which these leaders obtain health care
information; b) leaders’ reactions to TB messages contained in a
draft brochure; c) barriers to involvement in TB elimination
efforts; and d) actions they are willing to take in TB elimination
efforts. The information gathered from leaders and staff will be
used to create material that will describe the following topics: TB
burden among Hispanic population, latent TB infection, active TB
disease, contact investigations, directly observed therapy, specific
issues for Hispanic foreign-born and U.S.-born persons in the
treatment and screening of TB, and practical recommendations on how
HSOs can help decrease TB among their high-risk clients. Finally, a
marketing plan will be developed to effectively disseminate this
material to the appropriate audiences.
Study Progress
Focus groups were conducted in Spanish and English in Washington
DC, El Paso, TX, Houston, TX, Phoenix, AZ and Los Angeles, CA to
test materials. Educational materials were modified as a result of
the focus groups and submitted to CDC for review. Materials will be
finalized in summer 2007.
