[HealthyTribes] HPCDP Tribal TPEP Digest - 9/21/20

Mon Sep 21 12:20:09 PDT 2020

Dear Tribal TPEP Coordinators,

We hope this finds you all staying safe as our state faces unprecedented wildfires and smoke. We appreciate all you are doing to help support your communities during this difficult time for Oregon.

HPCDP is exploring a new way to share updates and resources to the grantee listservs.  You likely noticed that we have slowed communication to the listservs during the last several months, as many of you have shifted work to support the response to the COVID pandemic. In an effort to streamline relevant updates, resources and information, we will be sending the "HPCDP digest" every few weeks. The email will include resources and updates with links to additional information and staff contacts to learn more. Please see below and let us know what you think.

  1.  Presenting the Oregon Tobacco Retail Health Equity Project: Promoting Healthier Communities. A new health equity mapping project is available at https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/DISEASESCONDITIONS/CHRONICDISEASE/DATAREPORTS/Pages/Retailers.aspx. This is a tool were users can identify down to the census block group (neighborhood) what the tobacco retail environment looks like in Oregon based on a few sociodemographic indicators, including socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity. We will be holding a webinar to highlight the mapping project and to support grantees to use the new tool. Please register for the webinar at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/2505182677713961488 (Available dates: September, 28th 11:00- 12:00am and Oct. 2nd  2:00- 3:00pm). Questions? Please contact Sharon Coryell at sharon.r.coryell at state.or.us<mailto:sharon.r.coryell at state.or.us>.

  1.  A huge shout out to the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. Tribal youth advocates developed amazing TikTok videos about traditional tobacco use. These youth leaders show that tradition keeps community well (see attached videos).

To all, please continue to share information with your liaison to be included in future HPCDP digests.

  1.  New Tobacco Fact Sheets - English and Spanish. We have updated County Tobacco Fact Sheets in English and Spanish! New fact sheets are available on Smokefree Oregon on each county's page and on the HPCDP webpage here: https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PREVENTIONWELLNESS/TOBACCOPREVENTION/Pages/countyfacts.aspx  The updated fact sheets include the steep increase in youth e-cigarette use from 2017 to 2019. Download the new fact sheets for your areas and use them with partners, decision makers, and colleagues to illustrate the local burden of tobacco-caused death and disease.
