Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation attendees will be able to:
- Describe how to implement a programmatic framework designed to advance policy, systems and environmental (PSE) tobacco control interventions
- Describe the essential roles of state program staff, funded partners and advocates in creating environments supportive of tobacco control policies
- Describe successful partnerships between state and community tobacco control programs and advocates
Tobacco control program managers, advocates and funded partners.
Key Points:
State Tobacco Control Programs are expected to advance policy, systems and environmental interventions that denormalize tobacco use and strengthen tobacco-free norms. Public policy campaigns typically include effective communication, community mobilization, and direct advocacy. State programs often find it challenging to establish an infrastructure that effectively advances PSE change.
Educational Experience: This session will provide models for how state tobacco control programs can support and advance PSE interventions. The session will include potential programmatic frameworks and examples of how state programs and advocates have worked together effectively.
Benefits:
Participants will hear about approaches from several states that have been used to successfully advance a range of PSE interventions. The approaches focus on ways to create community environments that will be supportive of tobacco control policy change. Participants will hear success stories related to building support for funding, tobacco-free environments and point-of-sale policies.
