CAI’s Black People Against Tobacco project is engaging community members in Jackson, MS, to reduce the disproportionate use of tobacco products among Black residents. As part of this work, CAI provided intensive capacity building to a community advisory group of 14 residents to conduct a community-led needs assessment to investigate why people in the community smoke and what the impacts are.
The results of this evaluation are featured in the peer-reviewed journal article, “Building the African American/Black Community’s Capacity to Elucidate Factors for High Smoking Rates in Jackson, MS: Results from Implementing a Community-Led Assessment.”
