Tobacco Research Initiative for State and Community Interventions (TRISCI)
The Tobacco Research Initiative for State and Community Interventions stimulates research on new or existing tobacco control interventions relevant to State and community tobacco control programs. The initiative supports research on innovative tobacco prevention and control interventions at the community, State or multi-state level, particularly policy or media-based interventions. It also emphasizes collaboration between tobacco control researchers, state-based comprehensive tobacco control programs and community-based coalitions. For more information on TRISCI and other links to state level information regarding tobacco use prevalence, policies and programs visit this page.
