The forum will provide participants with an opportunity to share data and information, strategies and success stories that deal with the issue of tobacco prevention in the Latino community. Presentations will be followed by facilitated group discussions that will offer practical information about tobacco prevention, coalition building and culminate in the creation of a group action agenda.
