Stotts, R. Craig; And Others

Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, v2 n2 p307-19 Fall 1991

Lung cancer is a serious health problem among blacks, with a mortality rate of 119 per 100,000 black males, compared to 81 per 100,000 for white males. Smoking cessation efforts are most successful when tailored to the black community, using black community networks and broadcast media for black audiences. (SLD)
