Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation ONS Foundation Cancer Prevention in Diverse Populations: Cultural Implications for the Multidisciplinary Team Preface The first edition of this book was based on a series of federally funded grants for ethnically and culturally diverse nurses. These grants would not have been possible without the assistance of Barnie Lepovetsky, PhD, JD, of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In the early 1980s, Dr. Lepovetsky met with several nurses in leadership positions in the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) and urged them to write a training grant to promote the education of minority nurses on cancer prevention and detection. As the result of Dr. Lepovetsky's support, Marilyn Frank-Stromborg, EdD, JD, FAAN, Judi Johnson, RN, PhD, and Ruth McCorkle, RN, PhD, wrote a relatively small grant proposal for a one-day workshop on cancer prevention for 30 African American nurses, to be held the day before the start of the 1985 ONS Annual Congress in Houston, TX. At the time, few African American nurses traditionally attended the annual ONS Congresses, so the investigators were apprehensive about whether enough nurses would apply to fill this small workshop. The tremendous response to the call for applications-more than 500 African American nurses applied-quickly dispelled any doubts. The investigators were impressed with these nurses' commitment to improving the health of people of color and with their involvement in community activities. In unsolicited comments, the applicants poignantly documented the need for cancer prevention/screening programs in their communities. They also recognized their need for greater knowledge and skills in conducting cancer prevention activities.

Bringing Health Information to the Community (BHIC) By Siobhan Champ-Blackwell, Community Outreach Liaison MidContinental Region National Network of Libraries of Medicine June 04, 2004 Health and Literacy Skills Report [The following infirmation was taken from the NIFL-Health List serv, posted by Debbie Yoho, List Moderator]Dr. Rima Rudd at Harvard has recently authored a great new report on health literacy, published by Educational Testing Service. The report can be accessed on line at: The report is a synthesis of performance results for the 191 health-related questions on the 1992 NALS linked to the NALS database. The result is a new scale, the HALS (Health Activities Literacy Scale). The HALS directly reflects the health literacy skills of various population groups and sub-groups within the 3 domains measured by the NALS: prose, document, and quantitative. The 5 task/result levels of the HALS also correspond to those in the NALS. The methodology is clearly explained in the report, providing context for understanding results.
