This symposium serves as a platform for the exchange of best practices, knowledge and resources regarding the prevention of tobacco use and other addictive substances within minority communities. It aims to bring together a broad range of participants. Abstracts from research and/or practice-orientated projects from community members or organizations are welcome.

Topics will relate to reduction of tobacco and other addictive substances within minority communities, including:

  • Collaborative partnerships for addressing tobacco prevention among youth

  • The use of social media and/or technology to promote tobacco cessation

  • Interventions in which specific strategies for promoting tobacco use cessation, preventing tobacco use initiation, and eliminating exposure to second-hand smoke among minority males are especially encouraged

  • Interventions that address tobacco-related disparities among population groups through community-based participatory research

  • Policy changes that impact laws, ordinances, resolutions, mandates, regulations, or rules (both formal and informal)

  • Tobacco, alcohol and/or substance use reduction programs tailored for underserved, marginalized, and vulnerable populations

  • Environmental approaches for reducing tobacco related health disparities

  • Surveillance of smoking

  • The impact of smoking and chronic and/or infectious diseases
