This paper describes a qualitative evaluation of a small-scale program aiming to improve health information literacy, leadership skills, and interest in health careers among high school students in a low-income, primarily minority community. Graduates participated in semi-structured interviews, transcripts of which were coded with a combination of objectives-driven and data-driven categories. The program had a positive impact on the participants' health information competency, leadership skills, academic orientation, and interest in health careers. Program enablers included a supportive network of adults, novel experiences, and strong mentorship. The study suggests that health information can provide a powerful context for enabling disadvantaged students' community engagement and academic success.
本文描述了一项针对一个小规模项目的定性评估，该项目旨在提高低收入、主要为少数族裔社区的高中生的健康信息素养、领导技能以及对健康职业的兴趣。毕业生参与了半结构化访谈，访谈记录采用目标驱动和数据驱动相结合的类别进行编码。该项目对参与者的健康信息能力、领导技能、学术导向以及对健康职业的兴趣产生了积极影响。项目的促成因素包括成年人的支持网络、新颖的经历以及强有力的指导。该研究表明，健康信息可为促进弱势学生的社区参与和学业成功提供有力背景。
