The Health Education and Promotion Council in conjunction with the National Native Commercial Tobacco Abuse Prevention Network and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention facilitated an Alaska Native & American Indian Adult Tobacco Survey Training in Anchorage, Alaska on July 12th -14th, 2010.

The theme of the Alaska Native & American Indian Adult Tobacco Survey Training was Linking Research with Public Health Policy and Practice, and offered detailed information about health surveillance and monitoring planning, as well as innovative solutions for putting data to action. Resources for AI-ATS and AN-ATS planning and implementation can be found on the CDC and National Network websites.

The National Network is encouraging tribes and tribal programs to consider the implementation of the AI-ATS or AN-ATS as a way of improving American Indian and Alaska Native data related to commercial tobacco abuse. The National Network provides free technical assistance for tribes and tribal programs. Inquiries should be addressed to Kim.
