The Youth Tobacco Cessation Collaborative (YTCC) was formed in 1998 to address the knowledge gap concerning strategies that work best for assisting youth and youth adults to quit tobacco. The YTCC members are representatives from major organizations that fund research, program, and policy initiatives related to controlling youth tobacco use. In 2001, the YTCC conducted a systematic review of the published youth tobacco cessation literature in order to develop a guide for making decisions to help youth quit smoking. In order to disseminate the findings and work of YTCC, a special issue on youth tobacco cessation in the American Journal of Health Behavior will include invited papers addressing background and need for YTCC, the best practices process, the findings of evidence review, and research gaps and needs. The NCI is one of ten(10) organizations that comprise the YTCC. The NCI, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Legacy Foundation, and the Canadian Tobacco Control Research Initiative, convened four workshops. Through these workshops, the best practices model for youth tobacco cessation was presented and discussed; and the evidence review developed and completed.
