Lung Cancer Disparities: Addressing Gaps and Opportunities to Improve Health Outcomes and Health Equity Among Low-Income Populations and Other Populations with Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) Characteristics (Part 2)
2022-09-22 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar/Web Conference
LIVE Session Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 11:30 AM CT
As noted in a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) article, an important question asked, “Is lung cancer screening reaching individuals who can gain the most from it?” And the most recent report revealed that inadequate access to healthcare services due to geographic, financial, or logistical challenges continues to remain a commonly cited barrier to cancer screening experienced by populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) characteristics. This includes low-income populations, populations without a usual source of healthcare services, uninsured, underinsured, and populations residing in rural or remote areas (including medically underserved areas), as well as members of some racial/ethnic minority populations are those who experience significant disparities in cancer screening and follow-up care.
Topics include: Lung cancer disparities and screening eligibility criteria, cancer survivorship, as well as utilizing results from the American Lung Cancer “State of Lung Cancer Report” to improve community-clinical linkages.

Health Systems Change to Address Tobacco Use in LGBT+ Communities: A Conversation with the LGBT Cancer Network Webcast
2022-09-27 13:00 - 14:00 | Webinar/Web Conference
Join the American Lung Association on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 2:00 PM ET in a conversation with the National LGBT Cancer Network to address tobacco use in the LGBTQ+ community. Available data show that LGBT+ populations use tobacco products, particularly menthol cigarettes, at higher rates than their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts. Even so, our understanding of tobacco-related disparities are limited by the lack of representative data at local, state and national levels, particularly for transgender, gender diverse, and minority populations.
This webcast will explore the meaningful changes health systems can make to better address and support this specific population in ending their tobacco use through enhanced sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection and other systems change activities.

First Breath Program Update
2022-10-05 10:00 - 11:00 | Webinar/Web Conference
Please join us on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at 10:00AM CT to learn more about the First Breath program focus expansion!

Since 2001, First Breath has helped over 24,000 pregnant and postpartum individuals become and stay tobacco-free. First Breath takes a unique approach, partnering with over 280 organizations throughout the state to identify pregnant, postpartum, and caregiving people who use tobacco. Organizations refer individuals to First Breath, where a team of highly trained Health Educators provides strength-based, trauma-informed quit coaching. Through this approach, First Breath has been successful at reducing perinatal tobacco use, however, there has been a long-seen need to address other substances beyond tobacco. About half of First Breath participants use other substances and rates of prenatal substance use in Wisconsin remain stubbornly high. After several years of intense development and testing, First Breath is thrilled to announce that they have officially expanded the focus from just tobacco to all perinatal substance use.

Please share and invite your community partners who would be interested to learn about the First Breath updates.

Kick Vaping: A Vaping Cessation Text Messaging Intervention for Latino Young Adults
2022-10-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar/Web Conference
Featured Presenter:
Dr. Francisco Cartujano, 2020-2021 Catalyst Award Recipient
Moderator:
Dr. Albert Rizzo, Chief Medical Officer for the American Lung Association
Program begins at 12:00 PM (CT).

As a member of the American Lung Association’s research team, Francisco Cartujano, M.D., recipient of the 2021-2022 Catalyst Award, will provide an overview and update on his project, “Kick Vaping: A Vaping Cessation Text Messaging Intervention for Latino Young Adults.” The project aims to develop and evaluate the practicality and effectiveness of his Kick Vaping initiative, a text messaging intervention to help Latino young adults stop vaping. While Latinos generally have a lower prevalence of cigarette smoking, more and more are turning to e-cigarettes and vaping. In response to a survey conducted by Dr. Cartujano and his colleagues, 55% of Latino adolescents were curious about e-cigarettes (e.g., would be willing to try them if offered by a friend) and 19% are currently using e-cigarettes. These latter individuals are exactly who Dr. Cartujano is trying to reach with Kick Vaping. “Recognizing the population-level concerns, it’s urgent to develop treatment options that reach and engage high-risk young adults. Not only do they use text messages more than any other age demographic, but they’ve also demonstrated interest in quitting vaping. I feel optimistic this intervention will bring about a positive transformation in attitudes and actions,” says Dr. Cartujano.
Access information for this online webinar will be provided by email upon registration.
