students. This Surgeon General's report provides a vast amount of information on a wide
variety of topics relevant to tobacco use among racial/ethnic minority communities.
Q:
What recommendations does the report make to help lower tobacco use among
racial/ethnic minority groups?
A:
The report calls for enhanced surveillance systems to document better trends and patterns
of tobacco use among racial/ethnic minority groups. The report also calls for rigorous
prevention research to help us develop effective tobacco-reduction strategies. While the
report doesn't make policy recommendations, it does highlight characteristics of tobacco
control efforts that address unique cultural needs. It also stresses the importance of
restricting youth access to tobacco products, evaluates the appeal of tobacco products,
and analyzes the effectiveness of media-based initiatives to control tobacco use. The
report also outlines how the tobacco industry has targeted racial/ethnic minority
communities.
Q:
Does CDC have an anti-tobacco plan specifically targeted to racial/ethnic minority
groups? What are its main elements?
A:
CDC's tobacco control efforts have four main goals: (1) expand the amount and scope of
scientific data relating to tobacco control; (2) implement prevention and control
programs; (3) keep the public informed; and (4) develop partnerships and foster
leadership on tobacco issues. CDC's tobacco control efforts among minority populations
fit within these goals. CDC conducts research and data collection efforts on use of
tobacco products and determinants of use among racial/ethnic minorities. CDC also
supports prevention and control programs that address minority populations at the
national, State, and local levels. CDC has developed educational and media campaigns
that address racial/ethnic minority communities. Finally, CDC has developed
partnerships with minority organizations and fostered leadership development on tobacco
issues among minority organizations.
Q:
How much did this report cost?
A:
The overall cost of the report was approximately $600,000. The Surgeon General's
Report on tobacco use in racial/ethnic minority populations is the first report detailing
such information. This information will be used by public and private organizations to
inform policy and program development officials.
