Why it matters
The initiative aims to address disparities in effective tobacco-use treatments provided at Community Health Centers. UW-CTRI noted that tobacco use in Wisconsin is linked to $3 billion in direct health care costs. The grant allocation will support research and equip the health centers to provide appropriate treatment to affected individuals.
