Abstract:
The Master Settlement Agreement with the tobacco industry has infused resources into tobacco control and prevention, which has helped fund tobacco control programs at the national, state, and local levels. Many tobacco control programs face challenges in areas such as strategic planning, fiscal operations, advocacy, and personnel management. To provide technical assistance to these programs, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the American Legacy Foundation, and the American Cancer Society combined resources to fund the Tobacco Technical Assistance Consortium (TTAC). TTAG, housed at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, provides support for tobacco control programs and matches requests for technical assistance with consultants who have the appropriate expertise. TTAC is a valuable addition to tobacco control and prevention resources and is a viable component within a school of public health.
