• Description:
  The goal of Tobacco Where You Live is to empower tobacco control program managers, staff, and partners to understand how commercial tobacco use varies within their communities, overcome challenges, and reduce disparities. Each Tobacco Where You Live brief will cover a topic important to reduce commercial tobacco use in communities with the highest prevalence.
  
  Mapping Techniques focuses on how to create, share, and use commercial tobacco prevention and control maps. Mapping allows programs to focus their efforts where they can have the greatest impact. Maps can help you:
  
  • Understand community trends and show disparities
  
  • Find gaps in program and policy implementation
  
  • Educate decision makers and the public
  
  • Model potential strategies
  
  • Evaluate interventions
