Department of Health Community Health Grant Program

CHPPR's staff has provided consultation, evaluation, and data analysis assistance to the North Dakota Department of Health in their management of tobacco settlement funds allocated for tobacco control activities throughout the state. As part of this project, CHPPR's staff initially designed and created a large database to summarize the proposed activities of the 28 local public health units provided with grant funding under the Community Health Grant Program. A set of reports created for the Department of Health's Division of Tobacco Prevention and Control summarized these proposed activities by unit and across units. Subsequently, CHPPR constructed a second, large database to summarize the local units' 6-month progress towards funded tobacco control activities. These activities and accomplishments were then reflected in a set of summary reports generated by CHPPR for the North Dakota Department of Health's ongoing evaluation of the tobacco control activities supported by the Community Health Grant Program and are available from the Division of Tobacco Prevention and Control.
