Background
The University of Missouri School of Medicine is the coordinating partner for ETU Missouri. Project leader Kevin Everett, PhD, was awarded a 3-year grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health to launch the initiative in Missouri. Participating institutions, which include the University of Missouri, MU Health Care and Partners in Prevention, will meet at annual summits to learn and receive technical assistance to carry out action plans involving effective communication, policy compliance and education interventions.
In 2023, ETU Missouri hosted 80 people both virtually and in-person in Columbia, Missouri the day after the National Summit and featured conversations around poly substance use and methods used by the tobacco industry to target Black Americans, young people and women. Students from University of Missouri, Rockhurst University, Harris Stowe University and Missouri Western University joined a panel focused on student perspectives.
