Over the past 12 months, The LOOP has been hard at work providing webinars and trainings, and providing tailored assistance. Now we would like to know if we are providing you and your fellow tobacco control advocates the information you need to address health equity concerns in California tobacco control.

1. Given your experience with tobacco control work, would you consider yourself:

Extremely experienced, know tobacco control stats/data AND now want more "how to" information as it relates to tobacco control and health equities

Fairly experienced, but would like to learn more stats/data about different priority populations AND want more "how to" information as it relates to tobacco control and health equities

Moderately experienced, feel more stats/data will help you decide on what "how to" information you need as it relates to tobacco control and health equities

New to tobacco control work, need to know more about the stats/data and not as much "how to" information

If you have any additional thoughts about what you are looking for from The LOOP, please share:
