Abstract

To address leading health organizations' calls for public health professionals to adopt family health history (FHH) into their practice, we developed the first community health worker Texas state-certification program focusing on FHH-based cancer prevention for Chinese Americans, for whom cancer is the leading cause of death. The 160-hour program trained 46 Chinese American CHWs to provide FHH-based cancer prevention services for 1129 Chinese Americans. Our program contributes to the establishment of a public health workforce with FHH-based competence and reduces cancer disparities.

为了响应主要卫生组织对公共卫生专业人员将家族健康史（FHH）纳入其实践的呼吁，我们开发了第一个社区卫生工作者德克萨斯州认证项目，重点关注基于家族健康史的华裔美国人癌症预防，癌症是他们的主要死亡原因。这个160小时的项目培训了46名华裔美国卫生保健员，为1129名华裔美国人提供基于家庭健康的癌症预防服务。我们的项目有助于建立一支以fhs为基础的公共卫生队伍，并减少癌症差异。[J] .公共卫生，2025;115(2):138-141。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307895)。
