Tabaco/Cáncer

Los cinco condados de Mid-Shore tienen tasas de consumo de tabaco entre los jóvenes más altas que las de Maryland y un porcentaje más alto de mujeres que fuman durante el embarazo. Factores típicamente asociados con las áreas rurales, como menores niveles de ingresos y educación, mayor desempleo y falta de servicios coordinados, contribuyen a estas inequidades. Las partes interesadas se han comprometido a desarrollar un plan multijurisdiccional para aprovechar los escasos recursos, coordinar las comunicaciones e integrar las remisiones a los servicios de prevención y tratamiento clínicos y comunitarios.
