A Policy Framework for Preventing and Reducing Tobacco Use in the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community (APPEAL)
The policy framework provides comprehensive recommendations to better address AAPI tobacco prevention and control. While documenting some of the successes in AAPI tobacco prevention and control over the past decade, the APPEAL Policy Framework also highlights the continuing gaps in resources and programs. APPEAL hopes to work very closely with tobacco control organzations and policy makers to garner their support and commitment to addressing these important recommendations. Please contact APPEAL at appeal@appealforhealth.org to receive the Policy Framework.

Implementing a Community Readiness Approach to Tobacco Control is a compilation of case studies highlighting how five regional coalitions or networks from across the continental U.S. and Hawai`i took up the challenge of reducing tobacco use in their local Asian American and Pacific Islander communities using a community capacity building approach. By sharing their experiences, accomplishments and challenges, we hope others will gain new ideas and fresh strategies to apply within their own communities.
