Wisconsin Tobacco
Prevention & Control Program
Eliminating Tobacco-Related Disparities
Tobacco is not an equal opportunity killer. In fact,
tobacco has a
disparate impact on many Wisconsin populations, including low
socioeconomic groups, racial and ethnic groups, and young adults ages 18
to 24. The Division of Public Health convened a work group to develop a
strategic plan to address tobacco-related disparities.
A Strategic Plan to Identify and Eliminate
Tobacco-Related Disparities in Wisconsin.
Bringing
Everyone Along: A Strategic Plan to Identify and Eliminate Tobacco-Related
Disparities in Wisconsin (PDF, 190 KB) was
funded by a grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services
(DHFS). In 2001, Wisconsin successfully competed to be part of a
pilot project with 12 other states and one territory to develop a
strategic plan to identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. In
Wisconsin, a diverse workgroup was convened and began the strategic
planning process in September 2001. The process is reflected in the
goals and strategies of this plan prepared by the Wisconsin Tobacco
Control Disparities Strategic Planning Workgroup for tobacco control
organizations in Wisconsin. The Department of Health and Family Services
is required to use the plan to develop its annual tobacco control action
plan submitted to the CDC.
