“Idaho State University-Boise professor Galen Louis has received a $240,000 grant from the American Legacy Foundation to help create an anti-smoking campaign targeting Hispanic teenagers in Canyon County. But there’s a twist.

Louis’ research associates won’t be public health experts. They’ll be teenagers from the Nampa-Caldwell area, who’ll decide the most effective way to get their message out.

That makes perfect sense to Louis, who holds a Ph.D. in community health and directs ISU-Boise’s Master of Public Health program. “We’re working from the premise that the community we are trying to reach – Hispanic teenagers — will have the best answers.””*
