Background

LUCHA partners with local tobacco control experts, Latino-oriented organizations, migrant clinics and behavioral health treatment programs, local governments, advocacy agencies, and community members to address three focus areas developed to reduce health disparities related to tobacco among Latinos.  These focus areas include:  promotion of cessation services, exposure to secondhand smoke in multi-unit housing, and protecting Hispanic youth from the dangers of flavored tobacco like e-cigarettes.

Using a collaborative approach, LUCHA actively brings the “Latino Voice,” into the development and implementation of tobacco prevention work in the region.  Together, we can end the burden of tobacco on Latino communities and improve health outcomes.
