SUMMARY:Webinar: The Power of Collaboration: Building Cross-Sector Collaborations to End Health Disparities
DESCRIPTION:The need is clear: behavioral health providers and public health leaders must rally together to address the health disparities impacting African Americans\, a community historically underserved by tobacco control and behavioral health efforts. \nAlthough anyone can develop a mental health problem\, African Americans sometimes experience more severe forms of mental illness at a higher rate due to unmet needs\, social and structural barriers. Rates of everyday cigarette use among those with more serious mental illness is almost double that of those without serious mental illness\, and more than 72\,000 African Americans are diagnosed with a tobacco-related cancer each year. Health complications such as heart disease and stroke remain staggeringly higher than other groups. \nThat’s why the National Behavioral Health Network for Tobacco & Cancer Control is joining the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and the National African American Tobacco Prevention Network (NAATPN) for a webinar Tuesday\, May 8 at 2 p.m. ET. CDC-funded National Networks working to eliminate smoking and cancer related disparities\, community organizers and public health officials will take a deep dive into coordinated efforts across agencies to reduce tobacco-related disparities within the African American community. \nJoin us as we provide tools to create a strategy between behavioral health providers\, national networks\, community groups\, and state public health and tobacco prevention programming to support smoking cessation initiatives in your community. \nAre you ready to help lead the way? \nRegister Today!

SUMMARY:Leveraging ALA’s New Hospital Community Benefit Toolkit to Promote Tobacco Cessation Among Community Providers
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 22\, 2018  \n3:00 – 4:00 PM ET  \nRegister here to receive login information \nMore than half of the hospitals in the United States are private\, nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt.  Since 2012\, they have been required to conduct Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) every three years and implement a strategy to deal with issues identified by that Needs Assessment.  Data indicates that average spending by tax-exempt hospitals on community benefits has not changed much since 2012. Most hospitals have completed just one CHNA cycle and are struggling with how to have the most impact within the limits of their resources and expertise. \nThe American Lung Association believes this creates an opportunity for public health to partner and assist these hospitals. In December of 2017\, the American Lung Association released a new toolkit to provide state and local public health professionals with the tools and guidance they need to be informed and active participants in hospital Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs).  The toolkit provides ways to integrate tobacco into the CHNA process in a way that complements other community needs. You can view the toolkit here. \nJoin the American Lung Association to learn more about Hospital Community Benefit requirements and a new toolkit on the Hospital Community Benefit and tobacco cessation. Webinar participants will learn about the new toolkit and receive tactical\, hands-on ideas for how and why to use it. To join us\, please register here. \nFeatured Speakers  \nClaire Brockbank\, Segue Consulting \nMichele Patarino\, Segue Consulting \nFor more information\, please contact Anne DiGiulio at anne.digiulio@lung.org.  \nFor more resources on tobacco cessation policies\, please visit www.lung.or/cessationcoverage.

SUMMARY:Diversity Dialogue: Unconscious Linguistic Bias
DESCRIPTION:Unconscious Linguistic Bias: Innovative Psycholinguistic-Based Strategies to Dramatically Increase the Representation of Minority Executives in Leadership and Governance Positions\nWednesday\, September 27\, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET // Noon – 1:30 p.m. CT // 10:00 – 11:30 p.m. ET \nREGISTER HERE. \nOverview: Unconscious linguistic bias affects us all\, though we do not have these biases intentionally. There are many negative consequences of linguistic bias\, however\, and they contribute to why minority candidates are not well-represented in higher-level executive positions. Dr. Latterman combines psycholinguistic\, sociolinguistic\, and social psychological principles to enable leaders to uncover these biases and to help prevent unconscious linguistic bias from unintentionally affecting decision-making. In this webinar\, she will provide participants with nuanced\, research-based strategies designed to help mitigate the effects of unconscious linguistic bias.
