摘要 了解妇女及其与烟草有关的问题， 制定与性别相关的烟草控制工作， 地标指导文档（例如，《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》 FCTC、科比宣言、国际烟草控制研究[RITC] 制定拉丁美洲和加勒比烟草控制研究和优先事项）。的 安蒂奥基亚妇女烟草控制网络的总体目标， 哥伦比亚，将建立社区和机构能力，促进与性别有关的 哥伦比亚妇女的烟草控制工作。“网络”的目标是减少 安蒂奥基亚妇女的烟草使用和环境烟草烟雾暴露。这些 目标将利用基于社区的前瞻性研究的原则来实现 和增强权能模式，并将以多层次方法为指导， 目标层面：个人、组织系统、决策者和变革推动者 整个生命周期烟草控制的主要组成部分（预防，戒烟， 环境烟草暴露和政策）。我们将首先建立代表网络 (e.g.,安蒂奥基亚省的教育、卫生、政策），然后是能力建设 网络合作伙伴将相互培训和授权，以推进网络的发展 使命。下一步将是需求/资产评估阶段， 合作伙伴将协助确定烟草控制方面的需求/资产， （为妇女），以确定干预的优先领域。根据这些结果， 评估，网络合作伙伴将与其成员协商， 社区行动计划（CAP），其中包括一项全面的烟草控制计划 针对安蒂奥基亚的女性根据《方案公告》的要求，我们将实施 在第二年的试点项目，解决由网络确定的研究优先事项之一。在 为配合这些工作，我们将举办一个妇女烟草控制讲习班， 针对学者专业人士和学生

Abstract An understanding of women and their tobacco-related issues, as well as the need for the development of gender-relevant tobacco control efforts, have been highlighted as priorities in landmark guiding documents (e.g., WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control – WHO FCTC, Kobe Declaration, the Research for International Tobacco Control [RITC] Agenda on Setting Tobacco Control Research and Priorities for Latin America and the Caribbean). The overall purpose of the Network for Tobacco Control among Women in Antioquia, Colombia, is to establish community and institutional capacity to promote gender-relevant tobacco control efforts among Colombian women. The goals of the “Network” are to reduce tobacco use and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke among women in Antioquia. These goals will be accomplished utilizing the principles of Community-Based Participatory Research and the Empowerment Model, and will be guided by a multi-level approach that will address four target levels: individuals, organizational systems, policy makers, and agents-of-change across the major components of tobacco control across the lifespan (prevention, cessation, environmental tobacco exposure, and policy). We will first establish a network of representatives (e.g., education, health, policy) across the department of Antioquia followed by capacity building in which network partners will train and empower each other to carry forward the Network mission. The next step will consist of a needs/assets assessment phase in which network partners will assist in the identification of needs/assets regarding tobacco control among (and for) women in order to establish priority areas for intervention. Based on the results of these assessments, network partners, in consultation with their constituents, will develop a Community Action Plan (CAP), which will consist of a comprehensive tobacco control plan targeting women in Antioquia. As required by the Program Announcement, we will implement a pilot project in Year 2, addressing one of the research priorities identified by the network. In synergism with these efforts, we will implement a Tobacco Control among Women Workshop targeting academicians, professionals, and students.
