Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate dissemination strategies to promote the uptake of evidence-based cancer and other chronic disease prevention among state-level public health practitioners. Dissemination strategies such as multi-day in-person training workshops and electronic information exchange modalities are hypothesized to associate with improved access and use of public health evidence and organizational supports for program and policy decision making based on evidence-based public health.

- description
- Dissemination of public health knowledge: Participating states will help develop and choose 3-5 dissemination strategies they prefer for their state health department chronic disease units to receive. Dissemination strategies may include multi-day in-person training workshops, electronic information exchange modalities, and information on ways to enhance organizational climates favorable to evidence-based chronic disease prevention.
