Module 4: Implementation Considerations for Rural Tobacco Control and Prevention Programs

Each rural community has different needs and faces different challenges; there is no one-size-fits-all implementation strategy for rural tobacco cessation and prevention programs. This module describes cross-cutting issues to consider prior to implementing a tobacco program in a rural community.

For a broad overview of rural program implementation, see Implementing a Rural Community Health Program in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.

In this module:

• Formative Research and Needs Assessments
