Black children are twice as likely as non-Hispanic white children to have asthma due to an interplay of socioeconomic, historical, and industrial factors. The underlying socio-economic and structural inequities result in poor adherence to recommended asthma management treatments. National guidelines suggest asthma action plans (AAPs) as a tool for patient self-management, yet they remain underutilized. Boot Camp Translation (BCT), rooted in community-based participatory research, provides a method for engaging communities to improve health literacy. This article describes the successful use of BCT to develop a culturally relevant AAP promotion campaign in West Louisville, a predominantly Black community that experiences social and health disparities.
由于社会经济、历史和工业因素的相互作用，黑人儿童患哮喘的几率是西班牙裔白人儿童的两倍。社会经济和结构上的不平等导致他们难以坚持接受推荐的哮喘管理治疗。国家指南建议使用哮喘行动计划（AAP）作为患者自我管理的工具，但它们的使用率仍然很低。扎根于社区参与式研究的 Boot Camp Translation（BCT）提供了一种让社区参与以提高健康素养的方法。本文描述了成功使用 BCT 在路易斯维尔西部（一个主要是黑人的社区，面临社会和健康方面的差距）开展具有文化相关性的 AAP 推广活动的经验。
