The objective of Alabama Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health 2010 is to implement and evaluate a community action plan (CAP) developed by a diverse coalition to reduce breast and cervical cancer screening disparities between African American and White women.
The CAP entailed (1) establishing a core working group (CWG) in each county, (2) training CWG members to promote screenings, and (3) providing coalition members with technical assistance to write mini-grants.
Overall, 241 CWG members were trained. They have conducted 2800 cancer screening surveys. A total of 8 coalition members received mini-grants.
Community capacity building can lead to a sense of ownership and empowerment.
2010年阿拉巴马州促进社区健康的种族与族裔方法项目的目标是实施并评估一个由多元联盟制定的社区行动计划（CAP），以减少非裔美国女性和白人女性在乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查方面的差距。
该社区行动计划包括：（1）在每个县设立一个核心工作组（CWG）；（2）培训核心工作组成员以促进筛查；（3）为联盟成员提供技术援助以撰写小额赠款申请。
总体而言，241名核心工作组成员接受了培训。他们开展了2800次癌症筛查调查。共有8名联盟成员获得了小额赠款。
社区能力建设可带来主人翁意识和赋权感。
