Internet/Database Training at Grillo Health Information Center

Abstract

One aspect of this project will provide outreach to patients at the Family Learning Center and the People’s Clinic. This learning center and clinic both cater to Spanish speaking populations. Grillo Health Information Center will visit these clinics for a month at a designated time and hour on the same day, for example a Tuesday, to build consistency acting as a human kiosk of health information. They will show MEDLINEplus to the patients and also encourage them to visit the Grillo Health Information Center for additional training and resources.

The second aspect will be to provide “finding quality health information” classes via the computer room at the Boulder Public Library. Attendees will be from the Boulder community and Grillo Health Information Center volunteers will attend when possible. The outcomes will be a more informed Boulder community and increased awareness of the Grillo Health Information Center.
