After more than 50 years of research, we know what works to reduce commercial tobacco use. Yet evidence-based interventions are not reaching the people who need them most, and tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Now, the CDC has published a new guide designed to help programs like yours share information about what works to reduce commercial tobacco use and put new or improved interventions into practice. The Best Practices User Guide: Putting Evidence into Practice in Tobacco Prevention and Control was written in partnership with WashU’s Center for Public Health Systems Science. The guide can help you:

• Identify, disseminate, and implement evidence-based tobacco control interventions.
• Learn from real‐world examples of how state programs have used D&I strategies to advance tobacco control goals.
• Make the case for investing in D&I efforts.
• Identify the best resources and tools to get started.
