  1. GOALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE 2005 HINTS Data Users Meeting Gary L. Kreps, GMU Brad Hesse, NCI Rick Moser, NCI

  2. Expand the evidence base from HINTS research: Increase depth of examination and analysis (add additional questions, probe deeper, search for implications) Examine new research questions Study new populations and settings, Identify new applications for HINTS data

  3. Maintain a Balance Between: Basic research to advance knowledge,and Surveillance research to guide practice

  4. Develop Robust Integrated HINTS Research Programs: Networks of interdisciplinary HINTS researchers (invisible colleges) for conducting supplemental HINTS research. Establish new funding mechanisms for supplemental and developmental HINTS studies.

  5. Develop New Strategies for both Disseminating HINTS Data to and for Interacting with: Research community members Public health professionals Policy makers

  6. Examine Cancer Information Searching/Seeking/Scanning: Problems and Opportunities Interrelationships among different communication channels Information needs of cancer survivors, Use of specialized cancer information channels (such as the CIS) Influences on health promotion/screening

  7. HINTS research should be connected to a broader range of: Models and Theories, Databases and Surveys Research Programs

  8. Take a long-term view of HINTS research identifying implications for: • Future generations of health care consumers • New information technologies and uses • Societal, cultural and political trends • Changes in the health care system

  9. Study why people seek information about cancer. What are their: • Motivations? • Goals? • Needs? • Predispositions?

  10. Increase the sophistication of HINTS research methods by using: • Both quantitative and qualitative methods • Evidence-based scale development • Formative evaluation • Different survey delivery platforms • Multi-modal delivery • Multi-methodological designs • Comparisons between HINTS studies

  11. Examine the impact of health information dissemination on: Health disparities Health knowledge gaps Communication inequalities Quality of care Health outcomes Health behaviors

  12. How is communication influenced by critical audience variables, such as: Income and Education? Race and ethnicity? Health status and disabilities? Age and Gender? Geographical residence? Language and health literacy? Social power?

  13. Focus on key communication issues with HINTS: Communication inequalities Interpersonal communication Information exposure Information access Information processing Information use (for decision making, adopting health behaviors, screening, access to care, quality of survivorship)

  14. Examine how to clarify and effectively disseminate cancer risk information to: Reduce information overload Decrease fatalism about cancer risks among the public Decrease ambiguity and worry Enhance health promotion/screening Increase informed decision-making

  15. Examine how mental models of cancer risk are influenced by: Cultural factors News media Entertainment media Education

  16. How are cancer seeking & scanning behaviors associated with: Behaviors? Lifestyles? Screening? Prevention? Decision-making?

  17. How can HINTS help evaluate programs such as: Five to Nine a Day? Cancer Information Service? NCI 2015 Goal? Healthy People Goals? Medline/Healthfinder? Other Programs?

  18. The End; Or is it just the Beginning?
