STATE PLAN INDEX
The Public Health Leadership and Partnership Implementation Group developed an "Abbreviated State Planning Index for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention" for use by state-based programs and their partners in developing comprehensive statewide heart disease and stroke prevention plans. This "Abbreviated State Planning Index" and other "Tools for Building a Better Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Plan" will be presented at the September Training Institute sponsored by the NACDD's Cardiovascular Council and CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention.
