In 2015-2016, the Comprehensive Cancer Control National Partnership provided technical assistance workshops to support 22 cancer coalitions in increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination uptake and increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in their local communities. As national efforts continue to invest in providing technical assistance, there is a current gap in understanding its use as a strategy to accelerate implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for cancer prevention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of technical assistance on the participants' knowledge, attitudes, and skills for implementing EBIs in their local context and enhancing state team collaboration.
Data were collected August-November 2017 using web-based questionnaires from 44 HPV workshop participants and 66 CRC workshop participants.
Both HPV vaccination and CRC screening workshop participants reported changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to implementing EBIs in their local state context. Several participants reported increased abilities in communicating and coordinating with partners in their states and utilizing additional implementation strategies to increase HPV vaccination uptake and CRC screening rates.
Findings from this study suggest that providing technical assistance to members of comprehensive cancer control coalitions is useful in promoting collaborations and building capacity for implementing EBIs for cancer prevention and control.
在2015 - 2016年期间，国家综合癌症控制伙伴关系举办了技术援助研讨会，以支持22个癌症联盟在其当地社区提高人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种率和增加结直肠癌（CRC）筛查。随着国家继续投入资源提供技术援助，目前在理解将其作为加速实施癌症预防循证干预措施（EBI）的策略方面存在差距。本研究的目的是评估技术援助对参与者在当地实施循证干预措施的知识、态度和技能以及加强州团队协作的影响。
2017年8月至11月，通过基于网络的问卷对44名HPV研讨会参与者和66名CRC研讨会参与者收集数据。
HPV疫苗接种和CRC筛查研讨会的参与者均报告了在其所在州实施循证干预措施相关的知识、态度和技能方面的变化。一些参与者报告说，他们与所在州的合作伙伴沟通和协调的能力有所提高，并且能够利用更多实施策略来提高HPV疫苗接种率和CRC筛查率。
本研究结果表明，向综合癌症控制联盟成员提供技术援助有助于促进合作，并为实施癌症预防和控制的循证干预措施建设能力。
