About the Workshop
Objective and target audience
Addressing the worldwide tobacco epidemic depends on disseminating, advocating for, and ensuring the effective implementation of proven tobacco control policies and programs. This workshop will provide
attendees with lessons learned from different strategies for promoting effective tobacco control measures in Latin America and the Caribbean. Tobacco control experts who participate in the International Tobacco
Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC Project, http://roswelltturc.org, www.itcproject.org), as well as national and international civil society organizations involved in advocating for tobacco policy change, will present on the following topics: (1) survey methods for assessing policy effects, (2) tobacco crop substitution, (3) protocols for surveillance of tobacco products, (4) tobacco industry monitoring, (5) protocols for secondhand smoke exposure, (6) protocols for tobacco products labeling, (7) strategic use of mass media.
