Dear Tribal TPEP,

I hope you all are staying cool during this heat wave. Below are updates, resources and events that are coming up.

Community Policy Leadership Institutes (CPLI): The purpose of the Community Policy Leadership Institutes is to bring together community leaders, local public health authorities and decision makers through a facilitated process to co-lead local policy initiatives primarily focused on reducing and preventing tobacco and alcohol use to address health disparities and achieve better health outcomes.

  *   There will be 4 teams that will have the opportunity to apply for the first cohort. Application will be sent by 7/29/2021 with one month to submit applications.  The first cohort will be launching remotely in late September. If you have applied previously you do not have to resubmit an application, but please email Leah.Festa2 at dhsoha.state.or.us<mailto:Leah.Festa2 at dhsoha.state.or.us> to let us know you are still interested.

Webinar: Cannabis Policy, Equity, and Public Health with the Public Health Law Center: August 24, 2021 from 11am - 12:30pm
During this webinar, the Public Health Law Center will join us to provide an overview of the cannabis equity policy landscape in the U.S. We will examine Oregon's HB 3112 as a case study during the webinar and have time for group discussion and analysis of the proposed bill. There were many questions about HB 3112 during legislative session, and we hope this opportunity will be helpful to walk through what cannabis equity can mean and how to examine cannabis policy proposals with equity and public health in mind. This webinar is at the usually scheduled time for our Tobacco Prevention and Policy Call to make it easier on your schedules, and we'll be finding additional times to provide program and tobacco retail licensing updates. We hope you can join us

The Department of Revenue and Oregon Health Authority are hosting two upcoming Tobacco Retail Licensure Q&A Sessions for Local Public Health Authorities. At both sessions, we will cover the following topics:

  2.  Proposed timelines for state license application period and local license fee adoption
  3.  Purpose, strategy and timeline for execution of state and county intergovernmental agreements (IGAs)
  4.  Review of options for information/data sharing and enforcement participation
Open forum for questions and answers

New Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index Website The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) developed the Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to enhance existing resources to support the identification of racial and ethnic minority communities at greatest risk for disproportionate impact and adverse outcomes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Minority Health SVI is an extension of the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, which is a platform that helps emergency response planners and public health officials identify, map, and plan support for communities that will most likely need support before, during, and after a public health emergency.
