Resource Spotlight – Tobacco control with rural low SES populations
Rural population groups experience different health disparities compared to urban population groups.
The STTAR Hub highlights these resources for working with rural populations.
The SelfMade Health Network (SMHN) Specialized Training and Technical Assistance Hub: Emory Centers for Public Health Training and Technical Assistance (Emory Centers) established STTAR to provide free customized training and technical assistance to state and community organizations who serve populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics to implement evidenced-based tobacco use prevention, cessation strategies and policies.
This site provides access to training and TA opportunities consisting of:
- Live Events (webinars, workshops, peer-to-peer discussion)
- Online resources
- Downloadable resources (fact sheets, guidance documents, etc.)
- Podcasts
- Online Courses
To learn more about the recent expansion of SMHN’s ongoing efforts as a CDC-funded National Network and the support available from SMHN, you can access a recording of the Hub’s Information Session, review the slide deck, or download our one-pager.
