自从1998年46个州和主要烟草公司之间的总和解协议迫使超过3000万页以前保密的烟草行业内部文件被公布以来，研究人员一直在探索文件中的信息如何有助于推进公共卫生工作。先前的研究表明，烟草业作出了巨大努力，不仅通过典型的广告渠道，而且通过与有影响力的领导团体建立财务和其他联系，瞄准边缘社区。然而，以前没有研究探索目标群体的成员可能会在基层对烟草行业有关此类目标的实际内部文件做出反应。这项探索性焦点小组研究邀请城市非裔美国人参与者对以前秘密的烟草行业内部文件发表评论，表明这些文件可能有助于努力使烟草使用在社会上非正规化，促进对社区目标的批判性反思，并动员个人戒烟。
Since the Master Settlement Agreement of 1998 between 46 states and the major tobacco companies forced the release of over 30 million pages of previously secret internal tobacco industry documents, researchers have been exploring how information in the documents can be useful for advancing public health efforts. Previous research shows that the tobacco industry has made massive efforts to target marginalized communities, not only through typical advertising channels but also through establishing financial and other ties with influential leadership groups. However, no previous studies have explored how members of targeted groups might respond at the grassroots level to actual internal tobacco industry documents about such targeting. This exploratory focus group study, which invited urban African American participants to comment on previously secret internal tobacco industry documents, suggests that such documents may be useful in efforts to socially denormalize tobacco use, promote critical reflection about community targeting, and mobilize individuals toward quitting.
