Tobacco continues to have a disproportionate impact on specific populations and demographics nationally and within Wisconsin.
The second edition of
"Bringing Everyone Along: A Strategic Plan to Eliminate Tobacco-Related Disparities in Wisconsin" provides key steps for identifying and eliminating disparities in Wisconsin communities. The plan was originally developed in 2001 by the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program's Disparities Team, and was recognized for excellence by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The second edition outlines the Disparities Team's successes, features a new design, new data, revised strategies and action steps, and a new section titled "Definition of Disparity."
The Wisconsin Network on Tobacco Prevention & Poverty and four Ethnic Networks are working towards the goals of the plan to eliminate tobacco-related disparities.
