人们越来越有兴趣了解个人和环境对青年危险行为的影响，包括烟草使用。本文的目的是描述一项研究的过程和结果，该研究旨在提高亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民（AAPI）社区组织了解和解决环境对AAPI青少年烟草使用影响的能力。一个由社区和大学研究人员组成的小组利用多种方法收集数据，包括地理信息系统（地理信息系统）制图、Photovoice和个人青年调查，进行了一项为期3年的研究，以评估和解决青年吸烟对环境的影响。以社区为基础的参与性研究原则指导了这项研究，并在整个研究期间促进了独特的能力建设和分析。所有三种方法在长滩的结果都突出了青年吸烟与环境因素之间的联系：地理信息系统制图确定了至少77个不同的亲烟草影响地点，照片捕捉了其中许多地点，并为青年领袖提供了机会，以确定其他影响如何助长吸烟风险，对年轻人的调查表明，在过去30天内，社区安全感和接近亲烟草影响与吸烟有关。还讨论了研究伙伴随后开展的社区组织活动，总结了经验教训。
There is growing interest in understanding individual and environmental influences on youth risk behaviors, including tobacco use. The purpose of this article is to describe the processes and findings from a study that sought to increase the capacity of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community-based organizations to understand and address the environmental influences on tobacco use among AAPI youth. Using a multimethod approach to data collection that included GIS (geographic information system) mapping, Photovoice, and individual youth surveys, a team of community and university researchers conducted a 3-year study to assess and address the environmental influences of tobacco use among youth. Community-based participatory research principles guided the study and facilitated unique capacity building and analyses throughout the study period. Results in Long Beach from all three methods highlighted the associations between youth smoking and environmental factors: GIS mapping identified at least 77 separate locations of pro-tobacco influences, photographs captured many of these locations and provided youth leaders with opportunities to identify how other influences contributed to smoking risk, and surveys of youth indicated that perceived community safety and proximity to pro-tobacco influences were associated with smoking in the past 30 days. Subsequent community-based organization activities undertaken by study partners are also discussed, and lessons learned summarized.
