Strategic Planning Process to Address Tobacco-Related
Disparities in Idaho

What is the policy
and/or program intervention designed to do?
The
strategic planning process was designed to result in a
statewide strategic plan for addressing and eliminating
tobacco-related disparities in Idaho. The process was
designed to produce a plan created by representatives of
the populations affected insuring that communities felt
ownership of the strategic plan and that their needs
were addressed.
Explain the
implementation of the policy and/or program
intervention.
In
2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
commissioned a special effort with regard to the fourth
goal area of the national tobacco prevention and control
program: identifying and eliminating tobacco-related
disparities among population groups. Nationally, this
has been the most difficult goal area to address.
Funding of $45,000 was provided to Idaho to become a
cooperative partner with CDC to act as a pilot state in
developing a strategic plan to identify and address
disparities. The strategic plan and the process adopted
to create it were to be used as a model for other
states.
