ELIMINATING DISPARITIES

Eliminating tobacco-caused health disparities s one of the Centers for Disease Control’s four main goals for tobacco education and prevention (the other three are preventing initiation, promoting cessation and eliminating exposure to second-hand smoke). This goal offers a great opportunity for tobacco control coalitions nationwide as they try to understand patterns of tobacco use and consequences within various cultural, ethnic and priority populations.

This module will help you by discussing the definitions and principles behind eliminating disparities. You will learn how to acknowledge, identify and assess the needs of diverse population groups. Finally, we’ll discuss culturally competent coalitions and intervention strategies to best address population group needs.
