Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve the renewal to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) ADHS14-70869, Tobacco Education and Prevention Program, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services effective July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017 in the amount of $331,050.

Background:

The funds included in this IGA support programs to prevent and reduce tobacco use and to prevent and reduce chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, cancer, and stroke. These goals are accomplished by these activities:

The Cochise County Youth Health Coalition is comprised of trained youth volunteers who conduct tobacco prevention education in elementary schools, work on policy development for smoke-free environments and promote national tobacco prevention campaigns in Cochise County throughout the year. The Youth Coalition also assists the AZ Attorney General’s office with Tobacco Compliance checks. We also provide a Retailer Tobacco Education Training to any retailer who sells tobacco products and, a Youth Diversion Program for students, under age 18, who are caught using tobacco.

The Chronic Disease Prevention Program works on improving the health of county residents and assisting those who currently struggle with a chronic condition via the Healthy Living Curriculum which is being offered countywide in both English and Spanish. This component of the program also educates people on the Arizona Smokes Helpline (ASHLine) services, assists with employee wellness policy development, and smoke free workplace policy development.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Your approvals are respectfully requested.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not approving this amendment would result in the termination of both aspects of the Tobacco Prevention Program: tobacco prevention education for youth and chronic disease prevention for county residents.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

A fully executed copy will be provided to the Clerk of the Board for filing purposes.
