The purpose of this study was to understand the processes and interactions that African American tobacco control organizations use to engage African American communities in tobacco control efforts.
The study used grounded theory methods to interpret participant's perspectives on tobacco control. The study sample consisted of African American tobacco control program directors from African American tobacco control organizations throughout the United States.
Data collection involved 1 interview per participant using a semistructured interview at a location selected by the participant. Each interview lasted approximately 30-90 min.
The results showed that organizations used specific strategies to involve African Americans in tobacco control. The tobacco control organizations built community capacity using 3 processes: developing relationships and partnerships, raising awareness, and creating collective power.
Contextual, cultural processes, and historical references used by African American tobacco control organizations provide insight into how to engage African American communities in tobacco control efforts and achieve tobacco-related health parity. Public health professionals and nurses should be aware of these and other strategies that may increase the involvement of African American communities in tobacco control.
本研究旨在了解非裔美国烟草控制组织在开展烟草控制工作中与非裔美国社区互动的过程和方式。
本研究采用扎根理论方法，从参与者的角度解释烟草控制的观点。研究样本由来自美国各地非裔美国烟草控制组织的非裔美国烟草控制项目主管组成。
数据收集涉及每位参与者进行一次访谈，在参与者选择的地点使用半结构化访谈。每次访谈持续约 30-90 分钟。
结果表明，组织使用特定策略让非裔美国人参与烟草控制。烟草控制组织通过以下三个过程来建立社区能力：建立关系和伙伴关系、提高认识和创造集体力量。
非裔美国烟草控制组织使用的背景、文化过程和历史参考资料为如何让非裔美国社区参与烟草控制工作以及实现与烟草相关的健康平等提供了深入了解。公共卫生专业人员和护士应该了解这些策略以及其他可能增加非裔美国社区参与烟草控制的策略。
