The National Latino Council on Alcohol and Tobacco Prevention (LCAT) is a non-profit 501 © 3 tax exempt, national organization created in 1989 by a group of Latino public health professionals and community advocates from throughout the United States.

LCAT's mission is to combat alcohol and tobacco problems and their underlying causes in Latino communities.

LCAT is unique since it is the only Latino national organization dedicated solely to reducing the harm caused by alcohol and tobacco in the Latino community through research, advocacy, policy analysis, community education, training and information dissemination.

LCAT concentrates its efforts on informing public opinion and promoting changes on local, state and federal policies that affect advertising, access, enforcement and consumption of these products by Latino youth.

The Board of Directors represents a cross-section of Latino subgroups that compose the diverse Latino population in various regions of the country.
