Project
Purpose: To apply state-of-the-art telecommunications
technologies to high priority American Indian health-disparities
via education and community dissemination. Activities
include: 1) developing and updating health-related
coursework to be disseminated by tribal colleges and
universities via both self-directed Internet-based
and real-time interactive videoconferencing, and 2)
providing a venue for community champions both at
the lay and health-professional levels, to develop
prevention and intervention projects that focus on
high priority local health concerns.
Outcomes Expected: Participants will complete
a survey of closed- and open-ended questions that
assess all goal- relevant activities (e.g., dates
of task initiation/completion, participant identities,
training dates, number, background of trainees, attendance
records, frequency of web-based accession, rates of
training completion, task survey responses, etc.),
and outcomes (e.g., performance scores on job- skill
competency tests).
