LACOE (Compadres for Tobacco-free Los Angeles County)

The goal of the Compadres for Smoke-free Los Angeles County Project is to

eliminate tobacco-related disparities and increase health equity among the

Hispanic/Latino priority population in Los Angeles County through a regional

approach. The project is a partnership between Los Angeles County Office of

Education (LACOE), the American Lung Association (ALA) in California and

Worksite Wellness L.A. The Compadres for Smoke-free Los Angeles County Project

will work in several jurisdictions throughout the region in order to advance local

policy, systems and environment changes in the retail, multi-unit

housing, education, and health care campus environments in order to reduce

smoking prevalence, as well as reduce exposure to secondhand and thirdhand

smoke.
