The Circle Of Life (COL) was first developed in 1991 as a breast health program through a partnership between the American Cancer Society and a committee of lay and professional volunteers in Oklahoma, with representation from Oklahoma American Indian tribal communities. In 2008, The Society was awarded funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to expand and enhance COL. Since then, The Society has engaged a variety of tribal health and education leaders and Society staff to comprise a COL advisory workgroup. The workgroup's mission was to make recommendations and provide guidance in the revision of COL. Four cultural values emerged from the engagement of the workgroup: (1) the value of visual communication, (2) the value of interconnected generations, (3) the value of storytelling, and (4) the value of experiential learning. These four concepts greatly shaped the revision of the COL educational tools and resources.
生命循环(COL)最初于1991年作为一项乳房健康计划而开发,该计划是美国癌症协会与俄克拉荷马州一个由非专业和专业志愿者组成的委员会合作开展的,其中有来自俄克拉荷马州美国印第安部落社区的代表。2008年,该协会获得了疾病控制与预防中心的资金,用于扩展和加强生命循环计划。从那时起,该协会聘请了各种部落健康和教育领袖以及协会工作人员,组成了一个生命循环咨询工作组。该工作组的任务是在修订生命循环计划时提出建议并提供指导。通过工作组的参与,出现了四种文化价值观:(1)视觉传达的价值,(2)代际联系的价值,(3)讲故事的价值,以及(4)体验式学习的价值。这四个概念极大地影响了生命循环教育工具和资源的修订。
