Proposed Project
Hemophilia and AIDS/HIV Network for the Dissemination of
Information (HANDI) Evaluation Support--New--National Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Blood Disorders, located within the National Center
on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, implements health
promotion and wellness programs designed to prevent secondary
conditions in people with bleeding and clotting disorders. These
programs are carried out in partnership with community-based
organizations on the national and local level. The division's largest
and longest standing cooperative agreement is held by the National
Hemophilia Foundation (NHF). NHF, founded in 1948, has a long history
of service through education, advocacy and research for people and
families with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders.
The Hemophilia and AIDS/HIV Network for the Dissemination of
Information (HANDI) is NHF's resource center which provides
information, materials, and support to people with bleeding and
clotting disorders. Over the past 17 years, HANDI's resource collection
has grown to meet the changing needs of the community. HANDI processes
thousands of requests for information from a wide variety of
individuals and organizations including NHF chapters, medical
professionals, consumers and their families, and teachers and students
conducting research.
The type of information requested reflects a diversity of needs.
Topics include homecare, orthopedics, physical therapy, rare factor
deficiencies, psychosocial issues, blood safety, women's health, and
financial and insurance reimbursement issues. HANDI's current resource
library collection contains nearly 13,000 items. However, the process
by which materials have been selected for development has not been
informed by a systematic needs assessment or other exploratory
research. Therefore, it is not known if the materials and messages that
have been developed are meeting the information needs of the audiences
they were intended to serve.
While there seems to be many HANDI materials available that focus
on parents and family members of newly diagnosed children, considerably
less attention has been given to developing materials for young
children and adolescents, particularly materials that address
transition issues. There are many types of transitions for the person
with a bleeding disorder. These include acceptance of the bleeding
disorder, self care, progressing through school, vocational/career
planning, moving to an adult center, starting a family, middle age, and
retirement. Transition occurs throughout life for all people, but for
those with chronic illness, it takes on additional significance due to
the nature of their condition.
The CDC's Division of Blood Disorders in conjunction with the
National Hemophilia Foundation will conduct focus groups to gather
information that will be used to design educational materials and
health promotion programs for young children (aged 5-12 years) and
adolescents (aged 16-19 years) that address transition issues. The
groups will also be used to explore how young children and adolescents
prefer to receive health messages and health information (e.g.,
brochures, videos, podcasts, YouTube.com, etc.). These findings will
inform the development of key messages tailored to the target
audiences.
The contractor selected will work with CDC and NHF, through its
chapter network, to identify and recruit focus group participants.
Formative research participants will include (1) parents of young
children (aged 5-12 years) or young adults who can reflect back upon
their experience and share what information, resources, and support
they wished had been available when their child was young, and
(2)adolescents (aged 16-19 years). Participants will include (1)
parents of young children (aged 5-12 years) and (2) adolescents (aged
16-19 years). Participants will be recruited to participate in one of
twelve in-person focus groups that will be conducted in the following
cities: Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Denver. There are no costs
to the respondents other than time. The Total Estimated Annualized
Burden is 197 hours.
