RU: RTC6: D2: Ravesloot: Ecological Decision Support for Health Promotion
Project Description:
Health care resources are fewer and more dispersed geographically in rural areas, making it more challenging to access resources, health information and can create barriers to healthcare management. Within the rural context, self-management can reduce the need for acute medical services and potentially reduce secondary conditions related to impairments. The goal of this project is to develop a mobile, technology-based ecological health promotion intervention using shared-decision making that CIL staff and consumers can use to implement health promotion interventions for common secondary health conditions. The goals of the project include creating a mobile application for us with a tablet computer that present RTC:Rural health promotion materials adapted from our Living Well curriculum, construct evidence based decision support probabilities for intervention choices by analyzing data from past health promotion projects, develop CIL training materials for one-on-one facilitation with consumers using tablet computers, recruit participants in rural communities to review the mobile application, refine self-assessment and update decision support probabilities based on consumer data, and post the new application to the Google Play store and market to APRIL members, rural health clinics, and rural public health offices.
