Since 1997, APICAT coalition partners have been active in addressing commercial tobacco prevention and control within Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community supporting culturally competent prevention, education, and cessation efforts with adults, youth, and families. We are also committed to eliminating health disparities impacting diverse communities. We continue to work together to face new challenges, including emerging products (e-cigarettes/vapors) and the legalization of cannabis.

“Having the wonderful opportunity to work with APICAT has provided the most rewarding experiences and growth of my life.”
