National Tribal Tobacco Conference
May 16, 2022 - May 17, 2022
National Tribal Tobacco Conference
This conference, cohosted by the University of Minnesota and American Indian Cancer Foundation, will address the traditional uses of tobacco and commercial tobacco impact in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities across the U.S. A disparate proportion of AI/AN communities use commercial tobacco compared to other racial/ethnic groups. High prevalences of commercial tobacco use among AI/AN Tribes are directly reflected in the disproportionate rates of chronic diseases in AI/AN populations.
The conference will emphasize AI/AN persons returning to a healthy relationship with tobacco, the importance of creating health equity, and provide an opportunity for networking and collaboration.
