Description:

"Women who smoke have a much greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke than nonsmokers, but with the right tools and information, these women have a much better chance to kick smoking and make other healthy, lasting changes in their lives. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) program is designed to promote the cardiovascular health of uninsured and underinsured women 40 to 64 years of age, with a major focus on smoking cessation. Over the last decade, 15 WISEWOMAN projects have been launched across the country, reaching more than 26,000 underserved women to date. The WISEWOMAN program allows women to attend smoking cessation classes, receive reliable health advice, identify important health goals, and participate in blood pressure or cholesterol screenings. WISEWOMAN Works: A Collection of Success Stories on Empowering Women to Stop Smoking highlights some of the ways the WISEWOMAN program is making a difference for women smokers. These stories will demonstrate how many communities have established strong partnerships, overcome cultural and geographic health barriers, and maximized resources to expand their reach. By working together, we can help thousands more women to stop smoking and start down a path to a healthier future." - p. 2

"This publication was updated in 2006 to include current contact information for the participating WISEWOMAN programs listed in Appendix C."
