“…Expanding insurance coverage, particularly Medicaid coverage, of cessation treatments is one of the most important steps to increase smoking cessation in vulnerable populations ( 108 ). In addition, it is essential that tobacco treatment interventions be evidence-based and tailored to address cultural factors, language barriers, and reading level as appropriate ( 108 , 109 ). Healthcare providers and organizations should provide access to evidence-based tobacco treatment that includes behavioral counseling and should develop programs that address differences in cultural beliefs, language, and literacy.…”

Background: There are well-documented disparities in lung cancer outcomes across populations. Lung cancer screening (LCS) has the potential to reduce lung cancer mortality, but for this benefit to be realized by all high-risk groups, there must be careful attention to ensuring equitable access to this lifesaving preventive health measure. Objectives: To outline current knowledge on disparities in eligibility criteria for, access to, and implementation of LCS, and to develop an official American Thoracic Society statement to propose strategies to optimize current screening guidelines and resource allocation for equitable LCS implementation and dissemination. Methods: A multidisciplinary panel with expertise in LCS, implementation science, primary care, pulmonology, health behavior, smoking cessation, epidemiology, and disparities research was convened. Participants reviewed available literature on historical disparities in cancer screening and emerging evidence of disparities in LCS. Results: Existing LCS guidelines do not consider racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and sex-based differences in smoking behaviors or lung cancer risk. Multiple barriers, including access to screening and cost, further contribute to the inequities in implementation and dissemination of LCS. Conclusions: This statement identifies the impact of LCS eligibility criteria on vulnerable populations who are at increased risk of lung cancer but do not meet eligibility criteria for screening, as well as multiple barriers that contribute to disparities in LCS implementation. Strategies to improve the selection and dissemination of LCS in vulnerable groups are described.

“…More work is needed to address the transition from light consumption to quitting, specifically for African American populations. Other studies have also documented lack of significant changes in the quit ratio among African Americans contrasted with significant increases among Hispanic/Latino and White US populations, 74,75 further demonstrating the need to better target and address the needs of these priority groups.…”

Introduction This study compared tobacco use and cessation for African Americans (AA), Asians/Pacific Islanders (API), Hispanics/Latinos (H/L), American Indian/Alaskan Natives (AI/AN), and non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) in the United States (US) to California (CA), the state with the longest continually funded tobacco control program. The purpose of this study was to identify tobacco use disparities across racial/ethnic groups across time. Methods Cigarette use prevalence (uptake and current use), consumption (mean number of cigarettes smoked per day [CPD]), and quit ratios were calculated across survey years and trends were examined within each race/ethnic group and comparing between CA and the US utilizing the 1992-2019 Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey. Results Prevalence decreased for all race/ethnic groups. Current use among CA NHW showed significant decline compared to US counterparts, while US H/L showed greater decline than CA counterparts. CPD decreased by approximately 30% across race/ethnic groups, with CA groups having lower numbers. The greatest decrease occurred among AA in CA (average 10.3 CPD (95% CI: 10.3,12.6) in 1992/93 to 3 CPD (95% CI: 2.4,3.7) in 2018/19). Quit ratios increased from 1992/93 to 2018/19 for CA H/L 52.4% (95% CI: 49.8,53.0) to 59.3 (95% CI: 55.8, 62.5), and CA NHWs 61.5% (95% CI: 60.7, 61.9) to 63.8% (95% CI:63.9, 66.9). Conclusions Although overall prevalence decreased over time for each racial/ethnic group, declines in CA outpaced the US only for NHWs. Reductions in CPD were encouraging but the quit ratio points to the need to increase tobacco control efforts toward cessation. Implications The successes in reduced cigarette use uptake and prevalence across time for both California and the rest of the US were observed largely among non-Hispanic White populations. While reductions in the number of cigarettes smoked per day are a notable success, particularly among the Californian African Americans, efforts to support quitting across racial/ethnic groups, especially marginalized groups, need to be prioritized.

“…In conclusion, our findings indicate that some of the differences in CVD risk between men and women, overall and particularly in South-Asian Surinamese and African Surinamese participants, were explained by differences in smoking. Considering the substantial contribution of smoking to CVD incidence in men and women of most ethnic groups, we recommend to further encourage smoking prevention and cessation across these groups, potentially through more ethnic- and gender-specific programs ( Smith et al, 2016 , Thomas et al, 2015 , Webb Hooper et al, 2015 ). However, this strategy will only reduce disparities in CVD risk between men and women in South-Asian Surinamese and African Surinamese groups.…”
