LUNG CANCER, ASTHMA, LUNG DISEASE AND TOBACCO CONTROL:LUNG CANCER IS AN URGENT HEALTH CRISIS IN AMERICA, KILLING MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY OTHER CANCER. THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION IS DEDICATED TO REDUCING LUNG CANCER'S TERRIBLE TOLL. IN ITS SECOND YEAR, OUR LUNG FORCE INITIATIVE, TO MAKE LUNG CANCER A NATIONAL PRIORITY, CONTINUED TO RAISE AWARENESS, OFFER PATIENT SUPPORT AND RAISE FUNDS FOR RESEARCH. THE LUNG ASSOCIATION INCREASED OUR INVESTMENT TO $1.6 MILLION IN LUNG CANCER RESEARCH - WITH ANOTHER $9 MILLION COMMITTED IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. WITH OUR LUNG FORCE LUNG CANCER CALL-IN DAY, WE SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR AN INCREASE IN FEDERAL LUNG CANCER RESEARCH FUNDING. OUR LUNG FORCE EVENTS GREW IN NUMBER AND PARTICIPANTS IN OUR SECOND YEAR. THIS WAS THE INAUGURAL YEAR FOR LUNG FORCE EXPOS, EVENTS THAT ALLOW PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO CONNECT AND LEARN THE LATEST TRENDS, RESOURCES AND RESEARCH AROUND LUNG CANCER, COPD, ASTHMA AND TUBERCULOSIS. IN OUR FIRST YEAR, 14 EXPOS REACHED OVER 2,000 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE ALSO HELD EIGHT LUNG FORCE PATIENT PANELS IN BOSTON AND FT. LAUDERDALE, SPENDING MORE THAN 130 HOURS TALKING WITH PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH LUNG CANCER. WE ARE USING WHAT WE LEARNED TO DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE CONVERSATION WITH THE PUBLIC AND CLINICIANS ABOUT WOMEN AND LUNG CANCER.EVERY YEAR THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION HELPS PEOPLE MANAGE THEIR LUNG DISEASE, OVERCOME THEIR NICOTINE ADDICTION AND LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES. LAST YEAR WE CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR SUITE OF EDUCATION AND SUPPORT TOOLS FOR PATIENTS WITH LUNG DISEASE AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. TO HELP EASE THE BURDEN OF LUNG CANCER, WE CREATED UNIQUE VIDEOS AND DOWNLOADABLE WORKSHEETS COVERING WHAT PATIENTS CAN EXPECT FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS. OUR NEW LUNG CANCER ACTION GUIDE SITE ALLOWS USERS TO SELECT WHERE THEY ARE IN THEIR LUNG CANCER JOURNEY AND BE CONNECTED WITH TARGETED LUNG ASSOCIATION RESOURCES. OUR LUNG HELPLINE, STAFFED BY REGISTERED NURSES, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, CERTIFIED TOBACCO TREATMENT SPECIALISTS AND COUNSELORS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE FREE ASSISTANCE WITH SMOKING CESSATION SUPPORT AND LUNG HEALTH QUESTIONS. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE CDC, THE LUNG ASSOCIATION HAS DEVELOPED A NUMBER OF TOOLS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS WITH ASTHMA HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR MEDICATION IN SCHOOL. THROUGH THESE TOOLS, THE LUNG ASSOCIATION IS HELPING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ASTHMA EMERGENCIES AT SCHOOL. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING TO HELP ADULTS BETTER MANAGE THEIR ASTHMA WHILE AT WORK THROUGH TOOLS SUCH AS ASTHMA BASICS, AN INTERACTIVE, ONLINE LEARNING MODULE. THE EXPANDING SMOKEFREE COMMUNITIES PROJECT, FUNDED BY THE CDC'S COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION GRANTS PROJECT ENABLED THE LUNG ASSOCIATION TO FUND PROGRAMS IN 11 COMMUNITIES FOCUSING ON STRATEGIES LIKE SMOKEFREE MULTI-UNIT HOUSING AND CESSATION SYSTEM CHANGES IN CLINICS AND MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHARTERED LUNG ASSOCIATIONS, WE WERE ABLE TO PROTECT OVER 415,000 PEOPLE FROM THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO USE. THIS YEAR, THE LUNG ASSOCIATION PARTNERED WITH PFIZER TO LAUNCH QUITTER'S CIRCLE: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY AND MOBILE APP DESIGNED TO HELP SMOKERS FACE COMMON OBSTACLES ASSOCIATED WITH QUITTING THROUGH EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

RESEARCH:FUNDING RESEARCH HAS BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF THE LUNG ASSOCIATION'S FIGHT AGAINST LUNG DISEASE FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. IN 2014 - 2015, OUR DONORS AGAIN MADE IT POSSIBLE TO FUND $9 MILLION FOR EXCEPTIONAL RESEARCHERS SEEKING TREATMENTS AND CURES FOR LUNG DISEASES, INCLUDING ASTHMA, COPD, AND LUNG CANCER.THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION NATIONWIDE RESEARCH PROGRAM CONSISTS OF TWO PROGRAMS: THE AWARDS AND GRANTS PROGRAM AND THE AIRWAYS CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTERS. WE FUNDED 85 NOVEL AND INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS THROUGH OUR AWARDS PROGRAMS. THE AWARDS AND GRANTS PROGRAM FOSTERS LABORATORY AND PATIENT-CENTERED AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR RESEARCH TO PREVENT, TREAT AND HOPEFULLY FIND A CURE FOR ALL LUNG DISEASES. IN CONNECTION WITH OUR LUNG FORCE INITIATIVE TO FIGHT LUNG CANCER, WE DEDICATED $1.6 MILLION TO LUNG CANCER RESEARCH. THIS REPRESENTS A 50 PERCENT INCREASE IN RESEARCH SPENDING OVER THE PRIOR YEAR, AND COMBATS THE LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER-RELATED DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES.THIS PAST YEAR, OUR AIRWAYS CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTERS NETWORK (ACRC) EXPANDED ITS RESEARCH TO INCLUDE COPD. THE ACRC IS THE NATION'S LARGEST NETWORK CONDUCTING ASTHMA AND COPD CLINICAL TRIALS OUTSIDE THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. IN FY15, THE ACRC LAUNCHED TWO NEW INITIAL COPD STUDIES: ANXIETY AND COPD EVALUATION (ACE) AND RESISTANT AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN CHILDREN (REACH).THE RESULTS OF THE NHLBI SUPPORTED STUDY OF SOY ISOFLAVONES IN ASTHMA (SOYA) WERE REPORTED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. OUR STUDY DID NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF SYMPTOM IMPROVEMENT IN PATIENTS TAKING SOY ISOFLAVONES, SUGGESTING THAT PATIENTS MAY BE BUYING AND TAKING AN UNNECESSARY AND INEFFECTIVE SUPPLEMENT. WE PUBLISHED "PROVIDING GUIDANCE ON LUNG CANCER SCREENING TO PATIENTS, AND PHYSICIANS," WHICH CONTAINS UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT LOW-DOSE CT SCREENING FOR LUNG CANCER AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ASSESSMENT OF SMOKING HISTORY AND PROVISION OF SMOKING CESSATION SERVICES BE PART OF ANY LUNG CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM. WE ALSO SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FOUNDATION FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH TO HELP SUPPORT THE LUNG-MAP PROJECT, A GROUNDBREAKING, COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO CLINICAL TRIALS IN SQUAMOUS CELL LUNG CANCER.
