Consultant for Yuma County Public Health Services District Tobacco Program

Project concluded in 2010. At the end of the Steps to a Healthier Arizona Initiative the Asthma Special Action Group joined the Yuma Tobacco Coalition to form the Yuma Tobacco and Asthma Coalition, which is lead by the Yuma County Public Health Services District Tobacco Program, funded through the ADHS. I was the previous evaluator for the Yuma Steps initiative, and the Asthma SAG, so YCPHSD has contracted me to assist with the new Coalition. I will also assist the Tobacco Program with the development of new evaluation forms and a database to synthesize reporting to ADHS and to facilitate a more efficient data collection system. Current contract may lead to new contract with Tobacco Program for general consulting and technical assistance for FY11.
