Recording | Slides | Summary Report
Public housing residents are more likely to smoke and suffer from health conditions that are exacerbated by smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, such as asthma, diabetes, and COPD, compared to the general adult population.  The National Center for Health in Public Housing (NCHPH) hosted a call as part of its learning collaborative on improving access to smoking cessation services for public housing residents. Participants discussed needs, challenges faced by PHAs during the implementation process and HCs shared smoking cessation services and best practices.
