TDS-458B: Good Stopping Point: LGBTQIA

Cedars-Sinai Research Center for Health Equity has received a grant from the LA County Department of Health Services to develop a first-of-its-kind community Learning Collaborative made up of health, advocacy and service organizations to address tobacco usage in LGBTQIA+ communities, which as a population has some of the highest tobacco usage rates in the U.S. (25% compared to 14% of the general population). In this studio, students will learn about the possible causes of the high usage rates, the health outcomes related to tobacco use, and the history of LGBTQIA+ health activism and advocacy to develop a visual identity, campaign and materials for the community organizations in the Learning Collaborative to share best practices to help folks start the process of quitting tobacco use.
