The National African American
Tobacco Education Network (NAATEN) is a collaborative of national, state and community based organizations serving the African American/Black community.  NAATEN's goal is to eliminate tobacco use in the African American Community by serving as a leader and unified voice on a national level engaging African American organizations in preventing and reducing tobacco use.  At this time, the quitline report is being revised.  Thanks for your patience.

This comprehensive report sheds light on the rather nuanced and complex reality of African American smokers and their use of quitline cessation services.  It includes the results of the yearlong assessment, first hand reactions from stakeholders involved in the process and offers specific programmatic, training and policy recommendations. The report also includes detailed information about the steps and processes implemented to gather information, inform NAATEN Stakeholders and develop recommendations.
