State Initiative for Tobacco Equity Update.
CDC's Community Based Equity Requirement means all State Tobacco Programs are working to identify and improve equity outcomes.  The National Native Network is engaging multiple partners through NNN's State Initiative for Tobacco Equity.  The NNN offers a monthly Affinity Group, coaching and resource sharing to the 11 states that identified American Indians and Alaska Natives equity goals and are working with the NNN.  The aim is to enhance their knowledge and capacity to improve outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native populations.  Find out more HERE.The NNN is also collaborating with two other national tobacco networks on intersectionality of tobacco inequities.  The National Behavioral Health Network's Community of Practice is a 6-month series that is connecting the dots on tobacco inequities including sessions and faculty from the National Native Network and the LGBT Healthlink.  Stay tuned to access new materials.
