SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Adverse Childhood Experiences in Multi-Unit Housing
DESCRIPTION:Health at Home: Adult Smoking and Adverse Childhood Experiences in Multi-Unit Housing\nAsk the Experts Virtual Session \nDate: February 17\, 2017\nTime: 2:30 – 4 pm ET\nHosted by: ASTHO \nRegister here: https://astho.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0ApfM0uJNiObkot  \nDescription:\nEliminating indoor smoking is the only way to protect nonsmokers from the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. For residents of multi-unit housing\, secondhand smoke can be a major concern\, as it can migrate from other units and common areas and travel through doorways\, cracks in walls\, electrical lines\, plumbing\, and ventilation systems. Secondhand smoke exposure is especially concerning for children\, who are in a critical stage of development. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) overall also pose a serious threat on health across the life course. How does adult smoking in multi-unit housing and ACEs intersect and where are the opportunities for public health to collaborate across sectors? The perspectives across maternal and child health\, tobacco prevention and control\, health equity\, and injury prevention will be explored through ASTHO’s Ask the Experts Virtual Session. \nASTHO has invited Dr. Camara Jones (Past APHA President)\, Darlene Huang (Tobacco Control Legal Consortium)\, and Dr. Joan Gillece (National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors) to participate on a panel moderated by Dr. Rahul Gupta (State Health Officer of West Virginia). These subject-matter experts will highlight and explore the intersection of adult smoking and ACEs with multi-unit housing\, introduce the public health implications of this crossroads\, and answer questions from you related to their area of expertise. \nWhen you register\, submit up to two questions that will be addressed by the speakers during the panel. The session will offer an engaging discussion among the panelists and will allow them to apply their different expertise areas to the intersections of tobacco control work with other disciplines. Participants will gain insight on how to engage stakeholders across these public health areas\, implement their work with new framing\, and prevent unintended consequences for disparate populations as a result of policy and program interventions.

SUMMARY:Change is in the Air: Taking Initiative Towards a Tobacco-Free Texas
DESCRIPTION:In 2015 approximately 264 billion cigarettes were sold in the U.S.  and adults with mental illnesses smoked almost a third of them.

Attend our upcoming webinar\, Change is in the Air: Taking Initiative Towards a Tobacco-Free Texas on Tuesday\, February 7 from 2-3:30pm ET to learn how your mental health facility can go tobacco-free. \n\n\n\nDuring this webinar\, participants will hear from TTTF Project Leads on how to: \n\n\nMake the case for integrating tobacco cessation practices and utilizing tobacco cessation tools within their community behavioral health setting\nDevelop and implement tobacco-free workplace policies\nOffer tobacco treatment training and integrating tobacco use assessment into clinical practice\nBuild and sustain capacity around maintaining tobacco-free initiatives\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cancer Caregiving in the Community
DESCRIPTION:Register Here for the Cyber-Seminar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore than 1.6 million Americans are expected to receive a new cancer diagnosis this year. Though cancer most strongly affects the individual\, its impact extends to relatives and friends as well. Family and friends are often central in providing care or assistance in both the immediate and long-term management of cancer. Furthermore\, as a result of advances in treatment and health care changes\, much of cancer care is offered on an outpatient basis and is performed at home by caregivers. Research indicates that caregiving can be both demanding and burdensome – physically\, emotionally\, and financially – for many cancer caregivers. \nThe November Research to Reality cyber seminar will highlight the work of researchers and practitioners working on cancer caregiving in the community. \nErin Kent\, Phd\, MS\, will highlight findings from the National Alliance for Caregiving report Cancer Caregiving in the U.S.\, focusing on cancer caregiver needs\, and gaps and opportunities in outreach\, services\, and support. She will also highlight some current caregiver research resources. Kristen Cox Santiago\, MS\, will describe the work of the Cancer Support Community and how they work with comprehensive cancer coalitions to identify and address the needs of caregivers. \nWe will also be joined by Allison Harvey\, MPH\, CHES\, who will give an overview of the George Washington Cancer Center Report\, Supporting Cancer Survivors through Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs and highlight the place of caregivers in survivorship. \nThe final part of the webinar will offer an opportunity to engage with the presenters.  We invite you to share your own experiences and thoughts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nAt the end of the cyber-seminar\, participants will be able to: \n\nArticulate cancer caregiver resources for researchers and practitioners.\nIdentify needs unique to cancer caregivers\, and needs of caregivers for patients with chronic illness in general.\nIdentify current opportunities and gaps in cancer caregiver outreach\, services\, and support.\nDescribe the work of the Cancer Support Community in cancer caregiving.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAllison Harvey\, MPH\, CHES\n\n\nKristen Cox Santiago\, MS\n\n\nErin E. Kent\, PhD\, MS

SUMMARY:Teen Smoking\, Vaping & Dipping: How Should Providers Respond?
DESCRIPTION:Teen Smoking\, Vaping & Dipping: How Should Providers Respond? \nAlthough teen cigarette smoking has dropped to historic lows\, rates of electronic cigarette use is more than double that of regular cigarettes.

This webinar will provide participants with an overview of current research on rates of nicotine and tobacco use with respect to age and race/ethnicity and the effects of nicotine on the adolescent brain. All cigarette smoking including\, electronic cigarette use\, or smokeless tobacco use have associated health risks. Participants will obtain an understanding of how nicotine use often accompanies other drug use and therefore\, needs to be addressed as part of all substance use disorder treatments. Participants will be provided ideas for implementing effective evidence-based strategies for use with teens. \nPresenter: Rosemarie Martin\, PhD\, Assistant Research Professor of Behavioral and Social Science\, Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies\, Brown University\, School of Public Health \nDate:  Wednesday\, May 25\, 2016 \nTime: 12:00pm – 1:00pm Eastern (11am Central / 10am Mountain / 9am Pacific) \nRegister: https://umkcsonhs.adobeconnect.com/e7x1f65r7mf/event/registration.html
