Using Social Network Analysis to Measure Coalition Collaboration (February 14, 2018 @ 2:00PM - 3:00PM ET)
Hosted by George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center
Comprehensive cancer control (CCC) success depends on collaboration, from engaging coalitions to sharing promising practices and integrating efforts to maximize time and resources. However, collaboration is difficult to evaluate. The George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center used social network analysis (SNA) to improve program delivery and monitor the development of relationships between Community Roundtable participants working to integrate cancer and chronic disease efforts. Join us for this webinar session to learn how coalitions could leverage SNA to inform program and coalition improvement, provide data that support anecdotes and demonstrate the development of professional relationships.

How States Can Amplify Tobacco Industry Corrective Statements? (January 23, 2018 @ 3:00PM – 4:15PM ET)
Hosted by the Tobacco Control Network (TCN)
This past November, tobacco manufacturers in the U.S. began publishing court ordered tobacco statements admitting wrongdoing in how they marketed their products to the public for decades prior. While the plain text black and white advertisements will continue to be seen periodically in some newspapers and on network television over the coming months, public health stakeholders have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to promote tobacco control by leading a public conversation on the deceit of tobacco companies in how they advertise their deadly products to American consumers. On this TCN webinar, national experts and state-based public health practitioners will share their resources and recommendations on how to best amplify the impact and reach of the tobacco industry corrective statements that detail tobacco company misconduct. The conversation will focus specifically on how state and territorial tobacco control stakeholders can make these corrective statements more visible, and leverage them to promote tobacco control policy and messaging.
