The National Hispanic Leadership Initiative: En Acción is a multisite program of research and action for prevention and control among diverse U.S. Hispanic populations. The work includes surveys that display wide differences in screening and smoking rates in different regions and cultures. Education and advocacy is carried out within six communities through mass media and community organization. Our common approach to research and action has proven itself to be adaptable among diverse Hispanic populations. Cancer 1998;83:1825‐1829. © 1998 American Cancer Society.
