Abstract
Despite declines in tobacco use, disparately high use remains among low-income and rural populations. The Ohio Primary Care Association supports 60 health centers statewide that provide preventive, integrated care. These centers play a key role in tobacco cessation, successfully increasing screenings and reducing tobacco use in underserved communities.
