Check out their website at <www.trytostop.org> or call 617-482-9485 and ask to them to send you a catalogue. - Sabrina ------------------ Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi World Education 44 Farnsworth Street Boston, MA 02210 617-482-9485 skurtz@worlded.org >>> aokeefe@smtp.aed.org 01/28/03 02:31PM >>> I've been lurking and learning from this list serv for several weeks. My compliments to all participants and moderators. My voyeurism has made me much smarter about these important issues. I work in a large nonprofit organization on contracts supporting the Office on Smoking and Health, Centers for Disease Control. We are on a mission to target the most vulnerable and neglected population with the highest smoking prevalence - low-SES - with effective cessation and prevention messages. I have scoured the web and other sources and found a dearth of good materials for this population on this topic. Could participants share references and recommendations with me? Point me in good directions to inventory what is available so we can build from there? Would anyone be interested in participating in a more limited list serv devoted solely to the issue of tobacco and health among low-SES/low literacy? Thank you in advance for your help.
