Alcohol Formative Audience Assessment (AFFA) webinar August 18th 1:00pm
Join state prevention and public health colleagues in Oregon to hear highlights and key findings from the Alcohol Formative Audience Assessment (AFFA), which was recently published and available. In 2017, OHA launched a formative audience assessment to better understand Oregonians' attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around excessive alcohol consumption. The assessment developed and tested message concepts for communicating the harms and consequences of excessive alcohol use. Hear how this formative work has informed the new health communications brand strategy development. Register here: https://www.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsf-6grDMpHpHppvFSmVVglywF0lI57wI

Check out The Truth Initiative's new report on Tobacco Use in LGBT Communities
LGBT individuals may experience disparities that stem from social stigma and discriminatory treatment. On top of that, there is a different kind of disparity in the LGBT community that is often overlooked: disproportionately high tobacco use rates. Learn more from The Truth Initiative's  recently released brief report on Tobacco Use in LGBT Communities.

New PHLC resources on heated tobacco products
The Public Health Law Center released two resources with additional information about harm reduction claims for IQOS and e-cigarettes. The first resource, IQOS is a "Modified Risk Tobacco Product" - So What?, answers frequently asked questions about heated tobacco products and the implications of their designation as modified risk tobacco products. The second resource, "A Dearth of Data: E-Cigarettes & Heated Tobacco Products", describes the tobacco industry's history of using harm reduction in its marketing tactics, including its recent promotion of e-cigarette and heated tobacco products. Find both resources here: https://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/topics/commercial-tobacco-control/heated-cigarettes
