TReND’s Low SES Women and Girls Project (Phase I):
In 2004, TReND’s investigators developed the Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) Women and Girls Project to examine the effects of tobacco policies on low SES women and girls, an important but understudied topic. A webpage has been created about the project and is available at: http://dccps.nci.nih.gov/tcrb/ses_women-girls_project/index.html. This project resulted in eight papers published in a special journal issue by the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health in September 2006 (http://jech.bmj.com/content/vol60/suppl_2/). These papers examined the effects of tobacco and social policies on smoking behavior, exposure to second-hand smoke, and on tobacco industry strategies.
