Proposed Project

    Health Communication Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation for 
People with Disabilities--New--National Center on Birth Defects and 
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities 
(NCBDDD) at CDC promotes the health of babies, children, and adults 
with disabilities. As part of these efforts the Center is actively 
involved in improving the health and wellness of people with 
disabilities. Of particular interest is how health information is 
communicated to people with disabilities. This project involves the 
conduct of an e-mail survey for an initiative evaluating the 
effectiveness of health communication materials and strategies 
developed for people with disabilities by North Carolina, New Mexico, 
and New York with the support of health promotion grants from CDC. The 
survey data will be analyzed to evaluate awareness of the state-
developed materials among health care providers, human services 
providers and consumer advocates using these materials, their 
impressions of and satisfaction with the materials, the impact of the 
materials, and suggestions for improvement. Data will be collected 
using an on-line self-reporting survey distributed via e-mail and 
administered by linking to a web-based questionnaire. The results will 
be used to develop a training handbook to assist state agencies and 
public health officials in planning, developing, and implementing 
health communication materials for people with disabilities. There are 
no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey.
