ASIAN TOBACCO EDUCATION & CANCER AWARENESS RESEARCH INIT

该项目的目的是建立一个公共卫生基础设施，通过与天普大学、健康促进委员会、癌症信息服务中心（CIS）、福克斯蔡斯癌症中心（FCCC）、美国癌症协会、市和县卫生部门以及大费城地区的社区机构建立战略合作伙伴关系，促进亚裔美国人的全面烟草控制和癌症预防。其目标是减少亚裔美国人的癌症发病率和风险行为，鼓励参与社区烟草控制和其他癌症预防项目，减少障碍，改善亚裔美国人获得烟草和癌症资源的机会，并提高早期癌症的诊断。为实现这些目标，建议的目标包括成立亚洲社区联盟，对吸烟和癌症意识进行全面的当地需求评估，增加亚洲健康专业人员接受癌症控制培训的数量和机会，提供各种社区烟草教育和癌症意识项目，利用各种形式的媒体增加对CIS的呼叫数量，提高亚洲对FCCC临床干预试验的累积。促进试点方案的发展，并在全国传播该项目的成果。这些目标将在五年内分三个阶段实现：第一阶段（第一年）基础设施能力建设。需求评估、计划和策略选择；第二阶段（2- 3年级）项目发展、实施和建立学术/临床合作伙伴关系；第三阶段（第4及5年）拨款申请、评估及发放。卫生沟通模式将作为一个指南，提供一个循环过程，从了解目标人群的需求和看法、规划到规划制定、实施、跟踪进展、评估有效性，并获得反馈，进一步为第一阶段的规划过程提供信息。所有活动都将使用适当的过程、影响和结果评估进行评估。将采用多种评估研究设计和方法，包括需求评估的横断面调查、准实验设计、焦点小组、面对面访谈、记录跟踪/记录和文档。

The purpose of this project is to establish a public health infrastructure to foster comprehensive tobacco control and cancer prevention for Asian Americans by forming strategic partnerships between Temple University, the Health Promotion Council, the Cancer Information Service (CIS), Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC), the American Cancer Society, city and county health departments, and community-based agencies in the greater Philadelphia region. The goals are to reduce incidence and risk behaviors of cancer among Asian Americans, stimulate participation in community tobacco control and other cancer prevention programs, reduce barriers and improve access to tobacco and cancer resources with Asian American populations, and to increase diagnosis of cancers at earlier stages. Proposed aims to accomplish these goals include formation of an Asian Community Coalition, a comprehensive local needs assessment of smoking and cancer awareness, increase the number of and opportunities for Asian Health professionals to be trained in cancer control, to provide a variety of community-based tobacco education and cancer awareness programs, to use all forms of the media to increase the number of calls to the CIS and enhance Asian accrual to FCCC's clinical intervention trials, to facilitate development of pilot programs, and to nationally disseminate the findings of this project. These aims will be achieved in three phases over five years: Phase I (Year 1) Infrastructure Capacity Building. Needs Assessment, Planning, and Strategy Selection; Phase II (Years 2- 3) Program Development Implementation and Establishment of Academic/Clinical Partnerships; and Phase III (Years 4 and 5) Grant Application, Evaluation, and Dissemination. The Health Communication Model will be used as a guide to provide a circular process starting from understanding the needs and perceptions of the target population, planning, to program development, implementation, tracking progress, evaluation of effectiveness, and obtaining feedback which further informs the first stage planning process. All activities will be evaluated using appropriate process, impact, and outcome evaluations. Multiple evaluation research designs and methods will be employed, including cross-sectional survey for needs assessment, quasi- experimental design, focus group, face-to-face interviews, record tracking/logging and documentation.
