Promoting Quitline and Reducing Tobacco and Nicotine Use Among Rural Young Adults in Iowa
The Center’s core research project aims to work with young adults in Iowa’s micropolitan (midsized rural) areas, state officials, and community organizations to figure out how to connect young adults in these areas to Quitline Iowa. Tobacco Quitlines can help people quit smoking and using other nicotine and tobacco products. Yet, young adults often don’t use it when they think about quitting.
Active Iowa
Active Iowa is a translation project to improve the usability of a package of program materials to promote physical activity among adults in micropolitan communities. Materials will guide micropolitan communities in leveraging resources to train local volunteers as Physical Activity Leaders (PALs) to hold free physical activities throughout their communities.
