休斯顿—加尔维斯顿、达拉斯—沃斯堡—阿灵顿、奥斯汀、圣安东尼奥及拉瓦卡港地区约有 1,738,688 名亚裔美国人(Asian Americans, AA),占德克萨斯州亚裔美国人总人口的 85%。该人群在族裔构成、文化背景、语言使用、社会经济状况以及癌症负担方面呈现出高度多样性。除印度裔外,许多亚裔群体在家庭中主要使用非英语语言。
癌症是美国及德克萨斯州亚裔美国人的首要死亡原因。在德州亚裔美国人中,癌症死亡排名前五位的部位为:肺癌、肝癌、结直肠癌、乳腺癌和胰腺癌,合计占所有癌症死亡的 54%。研究表明,健康生活方式、避免吸烟、增加体育活动以及参与早期筛查,可显著降低上述癌症的发病率和死亡率。然而,亚裔美国人在前列腺癌、结直肠癌、乳腺癌、宫颈癌以及乙型和丙型肝炎方面的筛查率仍明显低于总体平均水平。语言障碍、文化偏见、健康素养不足以及双语医疗服务有限,是造成这些健康差距的主要原因。同时,当地医疗机构与亚裔社区组织之间缺乏系统性的协作与资源共享,进一步加剧了这些挑战。
项目总体战略
本项目为一项多方合作计划,联合 9 个亚裔社区组织、6 家当地医疗机构和 1 所大学,重点服务于越南裔、华裔、韩裔、印度裔和南亚裔社区。项目包括三大核心组成部分:
-
健康教育
-
癌症筛查与早期检测
-
患者导航服务
教育与筛查内容重点聚焦对亚裔美国人影响尤为严重的四类癌症:结直肠癌、乳腺癌、宫颈癌和肝癌。服务形式包括研讨会、工作坊、健康博览会、一对一健康教育、本地电视与广播节目、报纸文章、新闻简报、社交媒体传播,以及在社区场所开展的现场筛查。
项目将培训并部署 24 名获得认证的双语患者导航员,为受服务对象提供文化与语言适配的支持,协助其获取筛查、诊断与治疗服务,从而降低就医障碍,提升医疗服务的连续性。
项目具体目标
本项目的总体目标是降低休斯顿—加尔维斯顿、达拉斯—沃斯堡、奥斯汀、圣安东尼奥及拉瓦卡港地区亚裔美国人的癌症发病率和死亡率。具体目标包括:
-
动员 5 个亚裔美国人社区 参与系统性干预,提升癌症预防知识水平,扩大健康工具的可及性,促进健康生活方式的养成;
-
提高上述社区中 乳腺癌、结直肠癌、宫颈癌 以及 乙型和丙型肝炎 的筛查率;
-
实现 100% 筛查异常者获得转诊并完成诊断性检查,以及 100% 需治疗的癌症患者获得治疗转诊。
项目预计将 间接覆盖至少 29 万人,并 直接为 2.5 万名亚裔美国人 提供关于乳腺癌、肺癌、结直肠癌和肝癌的预防、风险因素、筛查、早期检测及健康生活方式的教育服务。此外,约 1 万名亚裔美国人 将接受乳腺 X 光检查、粪便免疫化学检测(FIT)、乙型或丙型肝炎筛查以及宫颈巴氏涂片检查。至少 250 名筛查异常者 和 1,000 名癌症患者 将获得患者导航服务,包括医疗系统导航、交通协助和语言支持(共计 10,000 个服务单元)。
项目意义与影响
本项目将借鉴以往 CPRIT 资助项目 的成功经验,并整合社区预防服务工作组(CPSTF)、美国预防服务工作组(USPSTF)及美国癌症协会(ACS)推荐的循证实践。通过为不同亚裔美国人社区量身定制符合其文化与语言特点的教育和筛查策略,并提供语言适配的患者导航服务,本项目旨在提高筛查率、扩大社区覆盖范围,并推动可持续的行为和系统性变革。
通过多部门协作、资源共享以及对来自各亚裔社区的工作人员和志愿者进行有针对性的培训,本项目将显著提升德克萨斯州各亚裔美国人亚群体应对癌症健康差距的能力。尤其重要的是,本项目将为目前缺乏系统性癌症预防、筛查和导航服务的群体提供关键支持,包括 印度裔和南亚裔社区,以及 圣安东尼奥和拉瓦卡港地区的亚裔美国人社区。
