PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN NEW MEXICO

In New Mexico, while 9% of cigarette smokers are Spanish-speaking, they make up only 5% of the state’s quitline users. The state observed that cessation services were effective for Spanish speakers who received them, but culturally appropriate education campaigns were critical to reach this population. The state developed a Spanish-language campaign, DEJELO YA, featuring US Olympic Silver Medalist Leo Manzano. The campaign included television, radio, and supportive print and outdoor advertising, which produced a 31% increase in Spanish-speaking enrollees to the state’s quitline.
