Pre-Conference Workshop\u00a0(Wednesday\u00a0October 12,\u00a06:30-8:00pm)<\/em><\/p>\n

Using a CBPR Approach with Health Literacy Research for Community or Patient Stakeholder Engagement<\/a><\/p>\n

Janine Jurkowski,\u00a0University at Albany School of Public Health<\/p>\n

Jennifer Manganello,\u00a0University at Albany School of Public Health<\/p>\n

Interest in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR), Community-Engaged Research (CER), and Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is growing as more funders and community stakeholders are asking for it. These collaborative approaches include stakeholder participation in the research process. PCOR \u201chelps people and their caregivers communicate and make informed healthcare decisions, allowing their voices to be heard in assessing the value of healthcare options\u201d. CBPR specifically incorporates stakeholders as equal participants to combine knowledge and action to promote social change to improve health and health disparities in a community setting. There is evidence that these approaches increase quality and validity of research, enhance the relevance of data, and improve intervention design and translation of research findings. During this workshop, we will discuss the continuum of engaged research so that researchers\u2019 understand how to situate their projects. We will help participants learn how to incorporate engaged approaches in traditional research designs. Strategies for successfully developing and sustaining community and patient partnerships in clinic, hospital, local community, and online settings will be discussed. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants should understand how to develop community and patient partnerships and incorporate various levels of PCOR and CER into traditional research designs and federal grant proposals. The instructional techniques will foster active participation of session attendees through the use of vignettes and case studies with group discussion and decision making. Researchers with any level of experience are welcome. Pre-requisite skills are not needed.<\/p>\n

Using Technology to Increase Health Literacy, Reduce Readmissions, and Manage the Health of Populations<\/a><\/p>\n

Kristin Jenkins,\u00a0Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation<\/p>\n

Crystee Cooper,\u00a0Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation<\/p>\n

Patti Taylor,\u00a0Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation<\/p>\n

Sushma Sharma ,Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation<\/p>\n

The panel will explore the importance of health literacy in the management of chronic conditions. Panelists will discuss ways to improve health literacy, patient engagement, and reduce readmissions inside and outside the hospital setting. Industry leaders in the areas of research, public health, health education, quality, and patient safety will share healthcare and community-based approaches to address disparity and achieve improved patient outcomes.<\/p>\n

The role of health literacy in decreasing anxiety in healthcare: a patient-centered approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stress changes our thinking; neural areas involved in focusing our attention go into crisis mode and stop effectively communicating, creating problems with logic, memory and attention. This panel will consider this interplay of health literacy and patient anxiety across various studies and how this leads to improvements not just in patient experience, but ability to engage and outcomes. For example, research reveals disease-related distress in low-income patients with diabetes has been shown to affect self-management, where people are less likely to take medications or have controlled HbA1C values. A study done at Dartmouth employed a multimedia patient education program developed with health literacy principles and patient input and review to reduce anxiety before an upcoming procedure. And an adolescent health literacy case study conducted in Burma\/Myanmar explored issues of mental health. It will also look at how clinicians, family, and the impact of peer support groups such Alcoholics Anonymous and A1C Champion Program to address anxiety and bridge the gap to engagement and activation.<\/p>\n

Considering the interplay of health literacy and anxiety, there are a growing number of patient-centered questions:<\/p>\n
