This project is year 1 of the NACDD project, which aims to (1) create the National Network for tobacco control, cancer prevention, and health equity for people with disabilities, (2) establish a Community of Practice (CoP) with state chapters; (3) provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) to partners; and (4) support a mass reach health communication strategy.
