Assistant Research Professor Amanda Fallin wrote a blog post for the The Network for the LGBT Health Equity's HealthLink, which is community-driven network of advocates and professionals looking to enhance LGBT health by eliminating tobacco use, and enhancing diet and exercise. 

Dr. Fallin’s blog post is a call to action to help reduce the smoking rates of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth smoke in Kentucky who smoke at twice the rate of their heterosexual counterparts. Read her blog here.
