College years are a time of growth, but also a time when many students face challenges with substance use.

Through research funded by the Minority Research Center (MRC), Dr. Slagle and his team at UALR are uncovering how these challenges affect not only student success, but also the health of our communities.

As a new school year begins, MRC is excited to continue supporting research that drives prevention, uplifts students, and strengthens communities across Arkansas.

Congratulations to the MISRGO team on being featured at the National Conference on To***co or Health (NCTOH) in Chicago!

Our abstract, ‘Hate the V**e: An Innovative Counter To***co Va**ng Program,’ was presented during the conference, one of the nation’s largest gatherings of to***co control professionals.

NCTOH brings together public health leaders, researchers, and advocates from across the country to share strategies that reduce to***co use and strengthen community health.

We’re proud to see Arkansas innovation highlighted on a national stage and to celebrate MISRGO’s commitment to protecting communities and advancing health equity.

The to***co industry has built profits on the backs of our communities, pushing addictive products, targeting vulnerable populations, and leaving behind the heavy burden of disease and healthcare costs.

That’s why the Minority Research Center (MRC) exists: to uncover the truth, collect the data, and provide the evidence our communities need to push back.

When we expose industry’s tactics, we empower communities to build healthier futures.

Fresh notebooks are open. Lunchboxes are packed. New shoes are already hitting the hallways.

Parents, the school year is here, and there’s still one more thing to keep on your list all year long: keeping your child safe from secondhand smoke. 🚭

Secondhand smoke doesn’t just happen in public spaces, it can linger in cars, on clothes, and in the air at home. Even brief exposure can affect a child’s lungs, focus, and overall health.

This year, protect their future by:
• Keeping your home and car completely to***co-free.
• Asking friends and family not to smoke or v**e around your children.
• Choosing smoke-free venues for after-school activities and events.

Healthy environments help our kids learn, grow, and thrive. Let’s make sure the air they breathe is as fresh as their new school year.

At Future Builders, prevention isn’t just a public health strategy, it’s a lifeline.

With support from MISRGO, they’re equipping southeast Arkansas teens through the Y.O.U.T.H. program (Youth Opposing Unhealthy To***co Habits) to lead outreach, push back against va**ng, and spark real change among their peers.

See how local voices and youth leaders are pushing back against to***co in Arkansas communities. Click the link in our bio to dive into MISRGO’s work with Future Builders.

Summer is meant for joy, connection, and culture, but too often, to***co sneaks into the spaces we love, like block parties, music festivals, cookouts, barbershops, and community fairs.

MRC is funding research to understand where these exposures are happening, how they’re impacting health, and what works to protect Black and Brown communities.

Because prevention isn’t just about asking people to quit, it’s about changing the environment we all share.

Our communities need more counselors, educators, and leaders who understand the unique challenges we face from cultural barriers to access gaps.

The Graduate Addiction Studies Program (GASP) is preparing professionals who bring representation, lived experience, and cultural humility to addiction treatment and prevention spaces.
