The Asian and Pacific Islander Cancer Education Materials (APICEM)
http://www.cancer.org/apicem
This new website makes it easier for physicians and other health-care providers to communicate cancer prevention and early detection messages to patients by providing one-stop access to patient education materials written in 12 languages.
The Asian and Pacific Islander Cancer Education Materials Web Tool (APICEM) is designed to help Asians and Pacific Islanders with limited English-speaking abilities gain access to authoritative information on how to reduce their risks of preventable malignancies, including cancers of the breast, cervix, colon, liver, lung and stomach.
The new database catalogs and provides links to patient handouts written in the following 12 Asian and Pacific languages: Khmer, Chamorro, Chinese, Hawaiian, Hmong, Ilokano, Korean, Samoan, Tagalog, Tongan and Vietnamese, as well as English-language materials culturally tailored for Native Hawaiian populations. Additional languages and topics will be added as more materials become available.
The Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training (AANCART) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) launched this searchable online database of Asian language cancer materials. This effort is supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
