## Abstract

NON CHE Abstract
The National Outreach Network Community Health Educator (NON CHE) at USC Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center (NCCC) focuses on a culturally-based approach to increase HPV
infection awareness and vaccination uptake, increasing cervical cancer screenings, and
addressing barriers towards participation in clinical trials (CT) among Hispanic/Latinx from Los
Angeles County(LAC). To address these disparities, the NON-CHE will conduct outreach,
culturally-responsive education, and engagement in LAC. A series of interactive health education
virtual workshops will deliver general information on HPV and CT, and monitor activities. These
small community research meetings on HPV and CT will be delivered in English and Spanish via
Zoom and in person platform as restrictions are lifted. Effectiveness will be assessed through
related pre- and post- test surveys at each session using Qualtrics, and at 3-months and 6-months
following attendance. Education materials will be developed and culturally adapted to convey
messages in Spanish as needed, using digital infographics and Power Point presentations. The
specific aims for the NON CHE based on an adapted protocol due to the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic are: 1) to incorporate the NON CHE with USC Norris efforts, based on local and
regional priorities on HPV vaccination through outreach, engagement, community health
education, evaluation, and dissemination of results among Hispanic/Latino subpopulations and
indigenous groups from Los Angeles County with limited English and Spanish language
proficiency (LESP). The NON CHE also assists with identification of barriers towards vaccination
and clinical trials enrollment, which is aligned with USC Norris and NCI priorities with the goal of
reducing the cervical cancer burden by increasing HPV vaccination and CT participation among
these communities; 2) to plan, conduct and assess HPV-community health education and
outreach; 3) to create strengthen or enhance existing partnerships with cancer related program;
4) to create, test and/or culturally adapt and translate HPV and CT educational materials for
low literacy and numeracy populations within the Hispanic/Latinx community including
indigenous groups; 5) to obtain 150 completed for the first 18 months for a total of 200 surveys
per topic for 2 years.
