Liberation: Developing Virtual Social Support for Tobacco Cessation with Low-Income Women

FY 2024-25 · 2024-10-01

Summary
This initiative will create and test a virtual social support group to sustain and support women's recovery from tobacco use. By doing so, the organization aims to fill the gaps stemming from a lack of tailored programming, an under acknowledgement of social determinants of health, and the overlooking of sex and gender related factors affecting low-income women who smoke.

Description
This initiative will create and test a virtual social support group to sustain and support women's recovery from tobacco use. By doing so, the organization aims to fill the gaps stemming from a lack of tailored programming, an under acknowledgement of social determinants of health, and the overlooking of sex and gender related factors affecting low-income women who smoke.
Description (French)
Cette initiative vise à créer et tester un groupe de soutien social virtuel afin de soutenir les femmes dans leur lutte contre le tabagisme. Ce projet comblera les lacunes résultant d'un manque de programmation adaptée, d'une méconnaissance des déterminants sociaux de la santé et de l'oubli des facteurs liés au sexe et au genre qui affectent les femmes à faibles revenus qui fument.
Expected Results
Targeted stakeholders and Canadians access evidence-informed information related to substance use and are equipped with the capacity (knowledge, skills and supports) to inform their decisions and actions related to substance use.
Expected Results (French)
Les intervenants et les Canadiens ciblés ont accès à des renseignements fondés sur des données probantes concernant la consommation de substances et ont la capacité (connaissances, compétences et soutien) d’éclairer leurs décisions et actions en matière de consommation de substances.
