Outcomes Building Capacity to Reduce the Burden of Menthol and Other Flavored Commercial Tobacco Products on Communities that Experience Health Disparities

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks to build a community of practice of local, diverse community collaborators together with state tobacco control programs in order to: 1) develop and advance culturally competent commercial tobacco control policies, systems, and/or environmental interventions that reduce menthol and other flavored tobacco initiation and use among youth and increase motivation for adults to quit; 2) increase opportunities for culturally appropriate cessation support that increases the likelihood of sustained cessation for those who use menthol tobacco products, and; 3) initiate appropriate and culturally competent health communication interventions that evoke behavior change. This NOFO seeks to advance health equity through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and by addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) that contribute to menthol and other flavored tobacco product use.
