使用土著外行健康教育工作者，因为他们参与了实施以社区为基础的戒烟计划的描述。目标人群是居住在几个城市公共住房开发区的年轻黑人妇女。该干预与一个更大的电视戒烟计划同时进行，包括由社区非专业健康教育工作者进行的课程或提醒访问。非专业健康教育工作者成功地组织了这一人群，他们通常被认为很难接触到吸烟的危害，并对参与结构化戒烟计划更感兴趣。他们激励了235人报名参加该计划;其中141人至少参加了一次课程或接受了至少一次初次提醒访问。结果表明，外行健康教育工作者可能能够动员这一人群参与健康促进计划。然而，由于这一人群与吸烟有关的差异，研究结果表明，必须制定新的方法，以维持他们的参与后，他们已经达到。
A description of the use of indigenous lay health educators as they participated in the implementation of a community-based smoking cessation program is provided. The target population was young black women who resided in several urban public housing developments. The intervention, which was conducted in tandem with a larger televised smoking cessation program, consisted of either class sessions conducted by or reminder visits from community lay health educators. The lay health educators were successful in organizing this population, often viewed as difficult to reach, to become more aware of the dangers of smoking and to become more interested in participating in a structured smoking cessation program. They motivated 235 individuals to sign up for the program; of these, 141 attended at least one class session or accepted at least an initial reminder visit. The results suggest that lay health educators may be able to mobilize this population to participate in health promotion programs. However, due to differences in this population related to smoking, the findings indicate that new methods must be developed for sustaining their involvement after they have been reached.
