In an effort to identify information gaps and disseminate tools and resources that address tobacco and cancer health disparities, the Geographic Health Equity Alliance (GHEA) just released the first in a series of one-page fact sheets.\u00a0The first\u00a0fact sheet<\/a>\u00a0focuses\u00a0on the Black Belt region of Alabama.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The region is known for little or no economic opportunities, high levels of unemployment and low levels of educational achievement. Such economic and social conditions have been irrefutable linked to higher rates of smoking and use of other tobacco products, as well as a shortage of facilities to treat cancer.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Highlights from the research guide include:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • The majority of the population within the Alabama Black Belt counties are insured under Medicaid (over 90% in each census block group).<\/li>\n
  • The Black Belt\u2019s median household income (at the block group level) ranges from less than $3,542 to $69,070.<\/li>\n
  • The Black Belt\u2019s racial composition in not very diverse \u2013 it is comprised of predominately Black of African American people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \nHigh school students who have ever used a tobacco product, by product:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cigarettes: 44.6%<\/li>\n
    • Smokeless tobacco: 20.7%<\/li>\n
    • Cigars: 30.2%<\/li>\n
    • Bidis or kreteks: 4.8%<\/li>\n
    • Pipe: 13.3%<\/li>\n
    • Any product: 53.2%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \nCancer center facts:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • There are 78 total \u2018all services\u2019 located in Alabama, 13 of them being comprehensive programs. 39 \u2018all services\u2019 are located within the Black Belt. Of 39, 0 are comprehensive programs and six are treatment centers.<\/li>\n
      • Montgomery, the state capital, second largest city in the state, and largest city in the Black Belt, is the region\u2019s only major concentration of \u2018all services\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \nSee Also: \u00a0GHEA video about the density of health care providers and facilities that are equipped to treat the priority state\u2019s with the heaviest tobacco-use and cancer burden.
