Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how community-based organizations (CBOs) serving LGBTQ+ populations can effectively integrate evidence-based health communication campaigns (EBHCC) to tackle tobacco-related health disparities.
- - Through qualitative interviews with 22 CBO staff members, researchers identified three main themes: the effectiveness of storytelling for community engagement, the benefit of researcher involvement in content creation, and the added value of these adaptations despite resource constraints.
- - The findings highlight the importance of understanding and addressing the specific needs of CBOs, suggesting that tailored support strategies can enhance the implementation of EBHCCs for better health outcomes in LGBTQ+ communities.
We conducted a longitudinal randomized controlled experiment between September 2021 and May 2022 to evaluate whether anti-tobacco industry beliefs and attitudes mediate the effect of culturally tailored anti-smoking messages on quit intentions among US young adult sexual minority women (SMW) ages 18-30 who smoke. Participants were randomized to view up to a total of 20 tailored versus non-tailored messages over one month. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and one-month follow-up.

- SGM (sexual and gender minority) youth vape more than other teens in the U.S., and social media could help discourage this, but the messages need to be tailored specifically for them.
- Researchers interviewed 34 SGM youth to learn their thoughts on vaping and what anti-vaping messages they find effective, focusing on representation, facts, empowerment, and trustworthy sources.
- The study showed that SGM youth want messages that include accurate representation of their community, relatable language, and involvement from LGBTQ+ influencers to make the messages more impactful.
Introduction: This study evaluated effects of exposure to culturally tailored anti-smoking ads versus control ads on quitting intentions, cigarette purchase intentions, and tobacco industry perceptions among young adult, cisgender and transgender, sexual minority women (SMW).
Study Design: An online randomized controlled experiment with 1-month longitudinal follow-up was conducted.
Setting And Participants: About 2,214 U.
Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) individuals use tobacco at disproportionately high rates but are as likely as straight tobacco users to want to quit and to use quitlines. Little is known about the demographics and geographic distribution of LGBTQ quitline participants, their engagement with services, or their long-term outcomes.
Aims And Methods: Californians (N = 333 429) who enrolled in a statewide quitline 2010-2022 were asked about their sexual and gender minority (SGM) status and other baseline characteristics.
Purpose: Evidence-based health communication campaigns can support tobacco control and address tobacco-related inequities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ +) populations. Community organizations focused on LGBTQ + health (e.g.
