ResourcesThe National Latino Tobacco Control Network has several clearinghouses of materials that have been gathered by our Steering and Advisory Committee Members, as well as our network members: In our website, we have a National Directory of health professionals, advocates and researchers working on tobacco control in Latino communities. To be included, please email us at aalthoff@indianalatino.com. The purpose of this Directory is to help colleagues collaborate and network with professionals, advocates and researchers with expertise on tobacco control at the state level.
