New SDC research with Truth Initiative on youth and young adult awareness of perceptions of tobacco marketing as a social justice issue! NORC at the University of Chicago #PublicHealth #Tobacco #SocialJustice
I'm late in sharing this, but so proud of the work we did with our colleagues at Truth Initiative, and with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. While we tobacco-researchers are well-aware of the industry's history of targeting their marketing to youth and communities of color, we found that a small minority of youth and young adults saw this targeting as a social justice issue. At the same time, a significant majority supported policies to ban menthol and other flavored tobacco products.
