The NCI held the State and Community Tobacco Control Policy Research and Dissemination: The Next Generation Meeting April 16-17, 2007. The key objective of this meeting was to gather input on a broad range of perspectives regarding priorities for policy and population-based research, particularly as it relates to state and community-based tobacco control programs. Participants reviewed highlights from previous NCI research in this area through two rounds of the Tobacco Research Initiative for State and Community Interventions (TRISCI). Directions outlined at the meeting will assist in developing future state, community and policy research initiatives.
