Underserved populations with high rates of tobacco use will be discussed, such as persons with behavioral health concerns, substance use disorder, and LGBTQ+ status. Disparities that exist in screening for tobacco use disorder and providing evidence-based treatment for it will be reviewed, as well as ways to improve in these areas.
