Content
Develop new materials• Multimedia for viewing/listening on iPads• Cancer identified by CCMs and Community
Advisory Board as priority topic• Survey of CCMs, health disparity data to select
specific introductory topics:
• Biopsy, Chemotherapy, Mastectomy, Prostate Cancer
Content
• 3 topics, existing HRM modules in English
• 1 topic (biopsy) develop content from trusted sources – National Library of Medicine, NCI, Mayo, Intelihealth – Harvard Medical School; previous handouts EthnoMed created
Content• CCMs reviewed source English text and images; suggested
adjustments e.g. additional info, alternate images rewording, etc.
• Mastectomy:– source draft: 5 slides– after CCM review draft: 14 slides– examples of additional slides:
“It is normal to be afraid of cancer. Breast cancer, when found early, is very treatable.”
“The type of surgery you have also depends on what is acceptable to you and your doctor. Many women seek a second doctor's opinion before having surgery.”
Content• Source draft: “Modified radical mastectomy ‐ removal of the breast, most of the lymph nodes under the arm and often the lining over the chest muscles
• CCM draft: added explanation “Lymph nodes are part of the body’s lymphatic system that helps to fight infections and filters unwanted substances, like cancer cells and bacteria. Cancer cells trapped by lymph nodes can grow.”
Content
• Clinician review• Revised English
modules
Community Input
• Groups of community advisors, per language
– Review English modules, – CCM narrating translation– Discuss/recommend graphics changes, translation edits, content changes to make more meaningful for community
Tailoring
– “An organ that is biopsied is not damaged by the biopsy. The body heals quickly from this kind of procedure because the amount of tissue that is taken is so small.”
– “Surgeries for Breast Cancer” instead of “Mastectomy” (to include lumpectomy)
– Image of cells – caption to indicate what is shown– Add image of woman in hijab– “Hair lost during chemotherapy treatment will grow back”
Language
• 2 words for bruising – indicate like this: morado/morete (Morado is Spanish word used south of Panama. Morete is used north of Panama.)
• The word used for marrow in Amharic was translated as broth (that comes from boiling bones); discussion of alternative term for “substance inside bones”
• Arabic vs. Somali words for drug therapy• Register of Khmer words for doctor, tissue
Final Content
• Review community feedback with CCMs as group, HRM
