| Abstract: |
The article discusses a community-based participatory research on smoking cessation among Chinese Americans at Flushing and Queens in New York City. This study is a collaboration of community-based organizations and universities with investigators from the different fields. There are both household survey and focus groups. To determine if a community mobilization for smoking cessation has taken place, much data is being collected. A detailed community needs assessment map was created by block-walking all of the four census tracts representing the parts of Flushing where the majority of the Chinese residents work and live. |
