About Nuestras Voces Adelante
Our Voices Moving Forward.
The Nuestras Voces Adelante Network Program partners with research institutions, academia, federal agencies, national voluntary agencies, community-based organizations, and expert collaborators that support our efforts to reduce the use of tobacco and related products and cancer-related health factors to improve the nation's health and well-being.
Regional Lead Agencies
Trusted agents of change in their own communities.
Nuestras Voces Adelante partners with leading Hispanic community-based organizations that serve as Regional Lead Agencies. These agencies have a broad history of implementing meaningful and language-appropriate interventions. Additionally each convenes a regional network of collaborators to amplify its many efforts.
What the Program Provides
Three kinds of support.
Through a series of webinars, the Nuestras Voces Adelante Program provides:
1
Training and technical assistance
On evidence-based interventions and promising practices focused on tobacco and cancer prevention and control for Hispanics.
2
Implementation support
Technical assistance supporting culturally proficient services, education, and materials development, to expand reach to communities at national, state, tribal, territorial, and local levels.
3
Communications and outreach
Technical assistance to develop and implement meaningful, language-appropriate tobacco and cancer-control mass health communications, campaigns, and interventions.
Tri-Networks Community of Practice
Building capacity in state cancer programs.
The Tri-Networks Cancer Prevention Community of Practice is our partnership with the Geographic Health Equity Alliance Network (CHEA) and the SelfMade Health Network (SMHN) to increase the capacity of state comprehensive cancer control programs.
​​
The Community of Practice uses evidence-based interventions and changes in policy, systems, and environments to increase cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination and to improve nutrition and the built environment. The work spans many geographic settings and reaches communities the system serves least, including people with lower incomes and Hispanic communities.
Please note that all mentions of tobacco refer to commercial tobacco, and not to American Indian or Native American sacred tobacco.
