This toolkit was provided to researchers who attended the Tobacco Research Network on Disparities’ (TReND) pre-conference workshop, Research to Reduce Tobacco-Related Inequalities: Worldwide Implications For and Exemplars of Tobacco Control.  They explored how factors of social stratification (e.g. gender, socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity, and caste) play influential roles in tobacco-related outcomes that lead to inequalities in illness and mortality; and communication access, literacy, and use; and from effective health and policy interventions.

It contains a number of resources to provide some assistance to start, or continue, work on tobacco-related health inequalities. This toolkit contains:

• Data set overviews and website links
• Media materials
• International tobacco control funding organizations – Bloomberg, Gates, Fogarty, Swedish, Canadian agencies
• Links to some international tobacco control organizations
• Exemplar papers on tobacco-related inequalities research
• Pre-conference Workshop Participant list
• U.S. National Institute of Health Fogarty International Center’s International Tobacco and Health Research and Capacity Building  program abstracts and contact information
