✦ Synopsis

Tobacco use is a major cancer risk among minorities, as evidenced by their high cancer mortality rates compared with white populations. Prior public health prevention efforts have concentrated on affecting individual behavior change through education and smoking-cessation techniques. The American Stop Smoking Intervention Study (ASSIST) project, which is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, is a 7-year research and applications project designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of coalitionbased policy interventions on smoking prevention and cessation.
