Needs assessment on tobacco cessation coverage and health systems change – American Lung Association. In collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, ALA is kicking off a project to provide technical assistance to states and the tobacco control community on tobacco cessation coverage policy and health systems change. Please help ALA plan these activities by taking a needs assessment survey – it will only take 10-15 minutes! With your help ALA will be able to plan activities and create materials that are relevant and helpful to your work.  Survey deadline: January 10, 2014.
