Focusing on Tobacco-related Disparities with WAATPN


The Wisconsin African American Tobacco Prevention Network's quarterly newsletter is availble!


Due to limited Tobacco Prevention and Control Program funding, efforts to impact disparate populations have taken on a state-wide approach. While the majority of its work focuses on the Milwaukee area, the WAATPN connects with partners and groups from around the state to support African American communities in eliminating tobacco related health disparities and addressing unequal marketing practices of corporate tobacco companies.
