Compared to white non-Hispanics, Hmong report higher incidence rates of certain cancers and present at an advanced stage. Using a community-based participatory research approach, Hmong leaders partnered with academic researchers to assess the Wisconsin Hmong population's readiness to address cancer. Using the Colorado Tri-Ethnic Center's Community Readiness Assessment, face-to-face interviews were conducted with eight Hmong leaders. The stage of readiness to address cancer was "Vague Awareness". Six thematic areas provided insight into this stage and recommendations for effective intervention. Results emphasize the need for a bridge between Hmong and mainstream communities to provide basic, culturally appropriate education on the US healthcare system and cancer.
与非西班牙裔白人相比，苗族某些癌症的发病率更高，且确诊时往往处于晚期。苗族领袖采用基于社区的参与性研究方法，与学术研究人员合作，评估威斯康星州苗族人群应对癌症的准备情况。通过科罗拉多三族裔中心的社区准备情况评估，对八位苗族领袖进行了面对面访谈。应对癌症的准备阶段为“模糊认知”。六个主题领域为该阶段提供了见解，并提出了有效干预的建议。结果强调，苗族社区与主流社区之间需要搭建一座桥梁，以便就美国医疗保健系统和癌症提供基本的、符合文化习俗的教育。
