Creating Culturally-Specific and Community-Specific Approaches to Linking Low Socioeconomic Smokers to Cessation Services.

Abstract

While smoking has declined, rates remain alarmingly high for people of low socioeconomic status. Funding community-based organizations to link low socioeconomic status smokers to cessation services holds promise for reaching this population. This approach also shows potential for elevating addressing tobacco use as a priority within these organizations.
