    The American Cancer Society (ACS) developed community projects to reach high-risk populations. Technical assistance (TA) helped create model programs for wider cancer prevention and control dissemination.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Cancer Control
    • Health Disparities

    Background:

    • Certain populations face higher cancer incidence and mortality risks.
    • The American Cancer Society (ACS) encountered challenges in reaching socioeconomically disadvantaged, high-risk groups.
    • A need existed for effective strategies to disseminate cancer prevention programs to underserved communities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the integration of outreach to high-risk populations into ACS national priorities.
    • To evaluate the role of technical assistance (TA) in developing and replicating cancer control demonstration projects.
    • To assess how TA facilitates the dissemination of effective cancer prevention and control programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Community demonstration projects were funded and developed with TA.

  • TA provided expert advice and problem-solving to create "model" projects.
  • Projects were evaluated to assess TA's role in replication and diffusion.

    • Main Results:

    • Model projects were developed through TA, identifying effective dissemination strategies.
    • A plan was created to replicate these model projects in ACS divisions with varying resources.
    • TA was shown to enhance the potential for nationwide diffusion of programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating outreach and providing TA are key to developing replicable cancer control models.
    • TA facilitates local empowerment and the nationwide spread of effective cancer prevention programs.
    • This initiative demonstrates a viable approach to addressing cancer disparities in high-risk populations.
