Tobacco Control Monographs

• The National Cancer Institute (NCI) began a state-of-the-art monograph series on smoking and tobacco control in 1990. NCI uses the monographs as a mechanism for the rapid and systematic compilation and dissemination of smoking and tobacco control research results from NCI and non-NCI studies (including clinical trials and observational studies) so that such findings can be used by individuals, organizations, and agencies interested in establishing or strengthening tobacco control activities at the national, state, and local levels. Under previous contracts, 15 monographs have been published and two more are in production and will be released by the end of 2005. The new series draws on the strengths of the first series and adds several new processes and features to address the changing needs of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) and the extramural research and tobacco control communities.
