<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Health Promotion Chronic Disease Prevention (HPCDP) section is planning to explore technical assistance needs for community policy, systems and environmental change efforts to inform planning efforts for
future technical assistance related to capacity building throughout the state. HPCDP is interested in hearing from local and tribal program leadership to inform subsequent training and technical assistance, including potential leadership institutes. This
initiative was discussed at the Conference of Local Health Officials (CLHO) Prevention and Health Promotion committee meetings in October and November. It was also discussed at the Addictions and Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council Behavioral Health
Promotion & Prevention (BHPP) subcommittee meeting in November. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In the next several months, HPCDP is planning to conduct short interviews with volunteer ADPEP/TPEP community and tribal leadership about their past and present strategies. This information will assist HPCDP
in planning and capacity building efforts. The interviews are planned to be conducted via telephone, and we anticipate they will take 30 minutes. Interviews will be conducted by one of HPCDP’s evaluation contractors, Wyoming Statistical Analysis Center (WYSAC).
