From its beginnings in the 1970s, the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Cancer Information Service (CIS) has developed as a vibrant program for providing health care professionals and the public with relevant cancer-related information through telephone, mail, and online communication. The CIS has become an important contributor to health communication and health education research. Through its network of community partnerships, it has disseminated relevant cancer information and health promotion programs to vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations. It has become a model for the development of health information and education programs around the world. However, the CIS is still growing; it is continually innovating and refining its programs and services. This concluding article examines the potential for increasing CIS contributions to cancer education and cancer control in the future.
自20世纪70年代成立以来,美国国立癌症研究所(NCI)的癌症信息服务(CIS)已发展成为一个充满活力的项目,通过电话、邮件和在线交流为医疗保健专业人员和公众提供与癌症相关的信息。CIS已成为健康传播和健康教育研究的重要贡献者。通过其社区伙伴关系网络,它向弱势群体和难以接触到的人群传播了相关的癌症信息和健康促进项目。它已成为全球健康信息和教育项目发展的典范。然而,CIS仍在不断发展;它不断创新并完善其项目和服务。这篇总结性文章探讨了CIS未来在增加对癌症教育和癌症控制贡献方面的潜力。
