CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health and CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control jointly fund nine national networks focused on tobacco-related cancer disparities.
As one of the supported organizations, NACDD launched the Disability Inclusion Network for Tobacco Control and Cancer Prevention in 2023. This initiative targets prevention and control efforts for People with Disabilities, who due to discrimination, stress, anxiety, and mental health issues, face higher tobacco- and cancer-related health disparities.
