As part of the Youth Tobacco Cessation Collaborative, NCI, NIDA and ACS cosponsored The Future of Youth Tobacco Cessation Research Workshop May 8-9, 2007. The overarching goal of the workshop was to examine progress and future directions in youth tobacco cessation research. Participants of the meeting adjourned to discuss past research efforts, inform youth tobacco cessation research from other youth-focused interventions, and develop future research priorities. The workshop fostered new ideas to translate basic research to future cessation approaches, ways to manage methodological challenges, and innovative approaches to target specific populations. A summary report will be made available in the future. Learn more about the Youth Tobacco Cessation Collaborative at: www.youthtobaccocessation.org.
