RESEARCH PLAN

I. To take a proven statewide cancer-education program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community (DHHC) to national scale. Research has shown that this cancer-education program can increase the DHHC's: 1) knowledge of cancer prevention, detection, and control strategies; 2) knowledge of reliable sources of cancer information and cancer care; and 3) adherence to health-promoting guidelines.

II. To expand the number of cancer topics and address the low level of cancer literacy in American Sign Language (ASL), open caption, and voice overlay that have been specifically designed to make information about cancer prevention, control, survivorship, and clinical trials accessible to the widely diverse members of the DHHC.

III. To demonstrate how this program can be taken to a national scale using overlapping, multimodal dissemination strategies to diffuse the information to the widely dispersed DHHC.

IV. To increase the DHHC's scientific literacy related to clinical trials with the longer-term goal of having members of the community demonstrate receptivity to discussions of clinical-trial opportunities.

V. To demonstrate the model's potential for disseminating a broad array of health and social-welfare information to the DHHC.

VI. To make the library of cancer-education videotapes available to the nation's ASL interpreters to help increase their foundation of cancer knowledge, promote their use of universal signs for specific cancer-related discussions, and advance interpreters' scientific literacy related to clinical trials so they can be of greater help to their deaf and hard-of-hearing clients when working in the cancer arena.
