StrategiesWelcome to our new Strategies section of the National Networks website! This section features strategies specific for working with communities of color, low socio-economic status groups, and LGBT communities. Explore strategies on how to address the following tobacco control areas:
Additionally, this section features two mainstream frameworks for tobacco control policy. The first of these frameworks, MAPPS, was developed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is drawn from peer-reviewed sources and the Community Guide. The second of these frameworks, MPOWER, was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help countries implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. While these two frameworks were not specifically designed for priority populations, we are incorporating their categories to organize helpful strategies and tools for addressing tobacco-related disparities in these communities.

The National Networks for Tobacco Control and Prevention are here to help and are a valuable resource for anyone working in tobacco control. For award recipients of Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) and anyone interested in receiving technical assistance and training (TAT), please take a look at our TAT profiles. Lastly, the strategies section only highlights some of the tools and promising and proven practices for working with priority populations. The examples provided here are not meant to be prescriptive; they can be used as a guide and might be adaptable for multiple populations. We recognize that there are many other examples out there.
