Objective:

To gain feedback about the Teen Health Information Literacy Project.

Eligibility:

Young people who participated in the Teen Health Information Literacy Project. The project was run by Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) and sponsored by the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

Design:

The study will be explained to students during a program session. They will take consent forms home to their parents.

Participants will split into 6 focus groups. Each one will be conducted at an AHEC project site.

The focus group will be a 90-minute discussion between participants and an evaluator from the NLM. The evaluator will be present either in person or by video conference.

The evaluator will ask participants questions, which may include the following. What did they like and dislike about the program? Why did they decide to participate? What have they learned? Would they recommend this program to another student? How has the program affected their interest in health-related careers?

The discussion will be audio-recorded. The evaluator will use an automated tool to convert recordings into text. After that, she will destroy the audio.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Participant's understanding of health disparities in their communities; leadership, health advocacy, and communication skills; sense of self and connectedness with the community; and interest in health-related careers (time frame: End of Program). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
