Latino\/a groups are less likely to receive advice to quit from health professionals or use tobacco cessation strategies. The position of community health workers (CHWs) warrants further attention to address tobacco-related disparities in Latino\/a communities. The objective of this study was to describe CHWs\u2019 roles to inform future smoking cessation training to ensure relevance and accessibility.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A needs assessment survey, including a 10-item tobacco knowledge questionnaire, was conducted with 29 Latino\/a CHWs serving Latino\/a communities in a metropolitan area to assess their roles, tobacco related services, attitudes, and knowledge.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All CHWs were Spanish-speaking and mainly employed part time (55%) in community organizations (67%).

Some CHWs (41%) expressed that their clients\/patients would use evidence-based nicotine replacement therapies as a smoking cessation treatment if offered and identified \u201cFinancial Cost\u201d (31%) as a deterrent of use.
