The Karen Tobacco-Free Program (KTFP) ran over a 3 year period from 2015-2018 and was committed to reducing tobacco use within the Karen community . KOM partnered with WellShare International to offer culturally-specific trainings on the harms of tobacco in Karen language to refugees from Burma. The trainings also provided resources to quit smoking, using tobacco, or chewing betel nut. KTFP created a DVD with a 20-chapter curriculum in Karen language and educational videos. The goal of the KTFP was to educate youth and adults on the harms of tobacco and to stop the use of tobacco in indoor and outdoor settings.
Lastly, KTFP supported tobacco-free events. KTFP posted signs and attended Karen community events asking individuals to not smoke, chew betel, or use other tobacco products. They also supported tobacco-free policies in multi-unit housing units to prevent exposure to secondhand smoke. KTFP’s resources can be accessed on WellShare International’s website.
Program was funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Center for Prevention
