In this podcast, we chat with the UK Prevent Alliance EMPOWER Team, housed in the University of Kentucky’s College of Education to address critical issues related to tobacco use, health disparities, and youth advocacy in underrepresented communities in Lexington and Louisville.
Through the lens of the EMPOWER program, a CDC-funded project, this podcast episode dives deep into the fight against menthol and other flavored tobacco products from the perspective of team members. We explore the intersections of public health, youth engagement, and grassroots mobilization, shining a light on the incredible work of individuals and organizations working together to reduce tobacco-related harm in communities most at risk.
Join us as we discuss strategies, share success stories, and inspire action towards a healthier, more equitable future. From tackling tobacco prevention to fostering youth leadership, the EMPOWER Team is leading the charge!
