Public Health Grand Rounds - May 21 / Evidence-based Tobacco
Greetings from Brad Myers:
For many of you who have asked for a web-based tutorial or example of how
findings from the Guide to Community Preventive Services can be used to
enhance or support public health efforts at the state and local level, I am
pleased to announce the next broadcast of Public Health Grand Rounds,
"Tobacco Prevention and Control: Using Evidence Based Strategies to Save
Lives and Resources," scheduled to air Friday, May 21, 2004, at 2:00 - 3:00
p.m. Eastern Time. The case study for this program will focus on the
efforts of the New York State tobacco prevention and control program,
county level partners (in particular the Onondaga County Health Department)
and their community partners in Syracuse, NY, to save lives and improve the
health of their citizens by using evidence based strategies (in particular
findings on tobacco prevention and control from the Community Guide).
