亚裔美国人是美国增长最快、第二大外国出生的族群。癌症是亚裔美国人的主要死亡原因。亚洲烟草教育和癌症意识研究(ATECAR)特殊人群网络，亚洲健康中心，旨在减少或消除宾夕法尼亚州、新泽西州、特拉华州和纽约这些多样化、服务不足的人群中的癌症健康差距。ATECAR逻辑模型是从各种概念框架中改编而来的，以开发和实施该网络的多方面癌症健康差异研究、培训、宣传和推广计划。该模式是网络发展阶段的基础，包括(1)需求评估、基础设施和伙伴关系建设；(2)干预研究、培训和指导；以及(3)评估、传播和传播。社区参与发生在每个运营级别，以确保计划和网络的可持续性。2000至2005年间，ATECAR网络由88个合作伙伴组成，代表了亚洲社区、学术界、癌症中心和健康服务机构的各个阶层，确保了该网络的多维癌症健康差异计划有一个可行的基础设施。ATECAR的研究涵盖了烟草控制、癌症预防和干预以及临床试验。开展了22个以上的研究项目，其结果发表在同行评议的期刊上。ATECAR还培训了76名初级研究人员和特殊人口调查人员以及1014名社区专业人员，了解不平等问题。ATECAR的多媒体癌症意识教育项目覆盖了超过11.6万名亚洲人。ATECAR网络的成就对亚裔美国人产生了深远的影响，并确立了缩小癌症健康差距的趋势，特别是在服务不足的亚裔美国人中。
Asian Americans are the fastest growing and the second largest foreign-born ethnic group in the United States. Cancer is a leading cause of death among Asian Americans. The Asian Tobacco Education and Cancer Awareness Research (ATECAR) Special Population Network, Center for Asian Health, aimed to reduce or eliminate cancer health disparities in these diverse, underserved populations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York. The ATECAR logic model was adapted from a variety of conceptual frameworks to develop and implement the network's multifaceted cancer health disparities research, training, awareness, and outreach programs. The model was the basis for the developmental phases of the network that included (1) needs assessment, infrastructure, and partnership building; (2) intervention research, training, and mentorship; and (3) evaluation, dissemination, and diffusion. Community involvement occurred at every operational level to ensure program and network sustainability. Between 2000 and 2005, the ATECAR network consisted of 88 partners, representing a cross-section of Asian communities, academia, cancer centers, and health service agencies, ensuring a viable infrastructure for the network's multidimensional cancer health disparities programs. ATECAR's research covered tobacco control, cancer prevention and intervention, and clinical trials. More than 22 research projects were conducted and their results disseminated in peer-reviewed journals. ATECAR also trained 76 junior researchers and special population investigators and 1014 community professionals in disparity issues. ATECAR's multimedia cancer awareness education program reached over 116,000 Asians. The ATECAR network's achievements have had a profound impact on Asian Americans and established a trend toward reducing cancer health disparities, especially among underserved Asian Americans.
