1. Tobacco Cessation Among Asian American and Pacific Islanders: A Community Approach
The purpose of this kit is to assist AAPI communities in implementing tobacco cessation programs and policies. While there are other general cessation kits available, this kit is designed to specifically address issues relevant to AAPIs and to provide examples of culturally competent strategies used within AAPI communities at varying stages of readiness. Please note that this kit will primarily focus on smoking cessation and adults; the issues of cessation and the approaches one takes in addressing it can vary when dealing with adults versus youth.
Please contact APPEAL at appeal@aapcho.org or 510-272-9536 to request a hard copy of this kit.
2. Making Tobacco Relevant for Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities
The relevance kit is designed to explain why tobacco prevention and control is an important issue to address in AAPI communities. The goals are threefold: to increase awareness of Asian American and Pacific Islander tobacco issues; to provide methods for making tobacco issues relevant to diverse communities; to motivate Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to become involved with tobacco control. Community members, policy makers, community health centers, health professionals, and program developers can benefit from reading this kit.
You are welcome to download the kit or contact APPEAL at appeal@aapcho.org or 510-272-9536 to request a hard copy.
3. Enhancing Cultural and Community Competence for Tobacco Control for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
The cultural competence kit is designed for tobacco control advocates and policy makers working in the tobacco control movement who wish to work with AAPIs in their communities. It emphasizes the importance of institutionalizing cultural competency activities in policies, programs, staff, and coalitions. The kit also includes an introduction to cultural competency resources and case studies, as well as how to assess institutional cultural competency, identify areas for improvement, develop a cultural competency plan, and sustain momentum.

4. Conducting Needs Assessments for Tobacco Control in Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities
The needs assessment kit is designed to help those who work with AAPI communities on tobacco prevention and control to better design and implement their activities and programs. The goals of this kit are: to educate community advocates on the benefits of needs assessments to their tobacco control activities and programs; to help tobacco control advocates choose the best needs assessment for their program by instructing them on the different types of needs assessment and how to conduct them.
Please contact APPEAL at appeal@aapcho.org or 510-272-9536 to request a hard copy.
5. Integrating Evaluation into Tobacco Programs for Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities

A Policy Framework for Preventing and Reducing Tobacco Use in the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community
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.

Implementing a Community Readiness Approach to Tobacco Control
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.
