In April 2012, the 2012 State Teams shared their successes, lessons learned and questions with their fellow state team colleagues and TA supporters including representatives from ASTHO, NNPHI and CDC. View the webinar summary including the audio recording and presentation slides.
On January 19-20, 2012, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and NNPHI hosted the Community Guide Strategy Workshop (CGSW), bringing together four state teams (Michigan, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas) to establish strategies to implement and highlight case studies of implementation of the Community Guide’s evidence‐based practice recommendations. Several resources were generated that give in-depth overviews of the Guide to Community Preventive Services in the form of training modules, presentations, and tools.
