• LGBT Cultural Competency Trainings: Who, Why and How

  
  Scout, PhD, National LGBT Tobacco Control Network, The Fenway Institute
  
  Sarah Senseman, MPH, Center for Prevention, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota
  
  
  In late 2007, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN collaborated with the National LGBT Tobacco Control Network to create and conduct cultural competency trainings for a variety of vendors who provided state tobacco quitline services. The 20 trainings that resulted varied in length, mode, and target audience -- this diversity of LGBT cultural competency training experiences generated lessons on how to present this information for a variety of audiences. Evaluation data from these and other related trainings will be presented to demonstrate the value of the experience, even for public health workers who are not direct providers. The main components of the trainings will be outlined and compared to other well-recognized LGBT cultural competency offerings. Finally, existing resources for LGBT cultural competency trainings will be reviewed, including new online and comprehensive offerings, to assist decision-makers in identifying the best match for their needs.
  
  
  Learning Objectives:
  
  Evaluate impact of LGBT cultural competency trainings in different settings
  
  
  List the tenets of a strong LGBT cultural competency program
  
  
  Articulate options for integrating LGBT cultural competency trainings into different settings

• LGBT Populations and Tobacco

• LGBT Tobacco Disparities: State-level successes,
  Opportunities, and Challenges

  
  Scout, PhD, National LGBT Tobacco Control Network, The Fenway Institute
  
  
  In 2007, the National LGBT Tobacco Control Network convened professionals from states doing advanced LGBT tobacco disparity work to create a set of best practices for
  work in this arena. The resulting document presents a set of 5 large scale best practices for any state or region to implement to maximize impact of this work. These best practices, not yet evidence-based, are wisdom-based and supported by a broad crosssection of community leaders who have signed on to support the recommendations. We will explore these best practices in detail, with examples of how states have successfully implemented different steps and a discussion of the impacts gained as states/regions have moved to higher levels of sophistication on this issue. These recommendations are presented at an interesting juncture, because a record number of states, seeing the dramatic tobacco disparity research for LGBT communities, are expanding their mainstream tobacco control work to target disparity groups, especially LGBTs. In 2006, 35 states expressed a need for technical assistance to expand their LGBT tobacco control
  work. We will supplement the best practice information with an overview of state-level activity, including an update from a 2008 reassessment, to demonstrate the rapid expansion of this work across the country. This expansion creates opportunities at many levels and sometimes creates challenges as state policymakers and community-level advocates forge new working relationships.
  
  Learning Objectives:
  
  Describe characteristics of advanced LGBT tobacco disparity programs
  
  
  List 5 best practices for state-level LGBT tobacco disparity work
  
  
  Identify opportunities in this area through overview of state activities
