An important focus of his work has been to develop local policies that support health and wellness and spur legislation at local, state, and federal levels. As the founding director of the Contra Costa County Prevention Program, he formed the first coalition in the nation to change tobacco policy by bringing together key stakeholders to initiate the nation's first multi-city smoking ban. This coalition served as a catalyst for other statewide and national efforts including smoking bans on airplanes and restrictions in public places, restaurants, and workplaces. Mr. Cohen also established the Food and Nutrition Policy Consortium that focuses on food labeling laws and healthier food options. His Prevention Institute has developed and created tools and frameworks to assist communities in developing effective public health prevention strategies. Mr. Cohen is a faculty member of CDC's Action Communities For Health, Innovation, and Environmental Change (ACHIEVE) and Strategic Alliance For Health (SAH), Healthy Community training initiatives.</FONT></P>
