简要总结
This research is using a Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) approach to design, implement, and evaluate English as a Second Language health literacy classes for Hispanic adults to reduce lead exposure.
详细描述
This Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) aims to:
- Develop a community-based participatory English as a Second Language (ESL) health literacy curriculum for lead exposure that can be used in other locations or programs.
- Determine the outcomes of the curriculum, including changes in knowledge about lead, access to health resources, and health behavioral changes to reduce lead exposure.
- To evaluate the implementation of the ESL health literacy curriculum.
This research focuses on ESL health literacy classes provided to Hispanic adults to reduce lead exposure. This research will use a pilot test with a pre-post test design. The program will last for 8 weeks; with weeks 1 and 8 as the assessment weeks. The curriculum uses pedagogies that move participants from health literacy as functional skill to health literacy as social practice where knowledge is used for empowerment and meaningful change. The goals of this research are to demonstrate increased health literacy knowledge, improved health behaviors, increased access to health services, and improved English language proficiency for Hispanic residents of Flint in relation to lead exposure prevention.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants Practicing Safe Lead Exposure Prevention Behaviors (Pre Test)
时间窗: Baseline
ESL Hispanic adult learners' lead exposure prevention adherence to the evidence-based recommendations set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for reducing exposure to water containing levels of lead above 15 ppb for the use was measured using a 3 item questionnaire. Questions include: (1) I have had my water tested for lead; (2) I have an NSF approved filter for my drinking water; and (3) I use bottled water or water from a filtration system for drinking and cooking to reduce or eliminate my lead exposure. Response options are yes, no and don't know. The numbers below represent participants who answered 'Yes' to each question.
