Cancer Prevention, Screening & Control Programs

There are national programs within public health departments established to address cancers ranging from breast, cervical cancer to colorectal cancer and other types of cancer. These national programs are supported by the CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control and regularly contribute knowledge and expertise to organizations and other partners.

SelfMade Health Network aims to provide support to Cancer Prevention and Control Programs by providing population-relevant resources designed to reduce costs and improve outcomes among populations disproportionately characterized with high cancer incidence, illness and mortality (death) rates.

Tobacco Prevention & Control Programs

Commercial Tobacco Prevention and Control Programs

The CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health established the National and State Tobacco Control Programs (NTCPs) in 1999. “NTCP encourages coordinated, national efforts to reduce tobacco-related diseases and deaths. The program provides funding and technical support to state and territorial health departments. NTCP funds all 50 states, and District of Columbia.”

SelfMade Health Network and its members connect and collaborate with these groups to ensure broad distribution of population-relevant resources to improve outcomes among populations with disproportionately high tobacco-use and secondhand smoke exposure.

In an effort to impact additional outcomes nationwide, this page will grow to include content relevant to members of state-based cancer prevention and tobacco prevention control program staff, and their respective partners. Stay Tuned!
