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，通过在坦普尔大学、健康促进委员会、癌症信息服务(CIS)、福克斯·蔡斯癌症中心(Fccc)、美国癌症协会、市县卫生部门以及大费城地区的社区机构之间建立战略伙伴关系，促进亚裔美国人全面的烟草控制和癌症预防。目标是减少亚裔美国人的癌症发病率和危险行为，鼓励参与社区烟草控制和其他癌症预防计划，减少障碍，改善亚裔美国人获得烟草和癌症资源的机会，并增加癌症的早期诊断。建议的目标包括成立亚洲社区联盟，全面评估当地对吸烟和癌症意识的需求，增加亚洲卫生专业人员接受癌症控制培训的数量和机会，提供各种以社区为基础的烟草教育和癌症意识计划，利用各种形式的媒体增加对独联体的呼吁次数，提高亚洲对fccc临床干预试验的收益，促进试点计划的发展，并在全国范围内传播这一项目的结果。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、规划和战略选择；第二阶段(第2-3年)项目开发实施和建立学术/临床伙伴关系；以及第三阶段(第4和第5年)拨款申请、评估和传播。健康传播模式将作为指南，提供一个循环过程，从了解目标人群的需求和感知开始，规划，到方案制定、实施、跟踪进展、效果评估，并获得进一步指导第一阶段规划过程的反馈。将使用适当的过程、影响和结果评估对所有活动进行评估。将采用多种评价研究设计和方法，包括需求评估的横断面调查、准实验设计、重点小组、面对面访谈、记录跟踪/记录和文件。

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.
