“…Electronic health records should enable the identification of adults who meet tobacco exposure and other eligibility requirements, but early experience has demonstrated that they perform poorly, resulting in an additional burden when health care professionals need to interview patients to assess pack‐year history . Furthermore, as smoking has become increasingly concentrated in lower socioeconomic populations, greater barriers to access are experienced by adults who comprise the target population for lung cancer screening compared with other screening tests. Jemal and Fedewa reported that over 50% of current and former smokers who met USPSTF criteria in 2015 were uninsured or Medicaid‐insured .…”

Each year, the American Cancer Society publishes a summary of its guidelines for early cancer detection, data and trends in cancer screening rates, and select issues related to cancer screening. In this issue of the journal, the current American Cancer Society cancer screening guidelines are summarized, and the most current data from the National Health Interview Survey are provided on the utilization of cancer screening for men and women and on the adherence of men and women to multiple recommended screening tests.

“…Similarly, smoking prevalence in women declined from a peak of 35% in 1965 to 14% in 2015. However, with these declines, the profile of the American smoker has changed substantially, with disproportionately higher prevalence in vulnerable populations, including less educated and low‐income individuals . Smoking and the mortality associated with it also varies significantly by state .…”

This article summarizes cancer mortality trends and disparities based on data from the National Center for Health Statistics. It is the first in a series of articles that will describe the American Cancer Society's vision for how cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment can be transformed to lower the cancer burden in the United States, and sets the stage for a national cancer control plan, or blueprint, for the American Cancer Society goals for reducing cancer mortality by the year 2035. Although steady progress in reducing cancer mortality has been made over the past few decades, it is clear that much more could, and should, be done to save lives through the comprehensive application of currently available evidence‐based public health and clinical interventions to all segments of the population.

“…(Drope et al, 2018). Within LMICs, lower income is usually associated with increased tobacco use prevalence as well, (World Health Organization, 2014) providing opportunities to further understand the complexities of tobacco use prevention and cessation in low-income groups in HICs, including the US.…”

International and cross-cultural research is critical for understanding multilevel influences on health, health behaviors, and disease. A particularly relevant area of need for such research is tobacco control. The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats globally, killing over 7 million people a year. Research critical to addressing this public health problem has leveraged variability in tobacco use, history, product market, and policies across different countries, settings, and populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the tobacco burden is increasing. These efforts are needed in order to advance the science and inform practice and policy in various settings, including the US. Several funding agencies provide support for international research focused on tobacco control in LMICs because of the importance and implications of such research. This paper provides some concrete examples of how such research has advanced our knowledge-base and informed practice and policy globally, particularly in high-income countries including the US. Some prominent themes emphasized in this manuscript include: the development of knowledge regarding the diverse tobacco products on the market; better understanding of tobacco use and its impact among different populations; generating knowledge about the impacts including unintended consequences of tobacco control policy interventions; and better understanding tobacco industry strategies and informing advocacy efforts. In summary, international tobacco control research, particularly in LMICs, is critical in effectively and efficiently building the evidence base to advance tobacco control research, policy, and practice globally, including the US, with the ultimate goal of curbing the tobacco epidemic.
