Overall, the project
has developed extremely well given the reported challenges and barriers. This
is the first progress report for this project and much work was done to build
strong relationships and build momentum. The main challenges reported included
filling vacant positions and COVID-19 limitations. Even with these
difficulties, positions were filled and the project adapted to ensure SOW
activities developed. The
project has conducted outreach to Kern, Kings, and Tulare County regularly.
The speakers burau has a list of 13 speakers ready to present and already 5
presentations have taken place. Great job! In addition, the listserv
communications are going well and the contact list continues to grow. There
has been great progress made to asses the need and gather interest in
addressing commercial tobacco use as well as better understanding how to
integrate cessation into clinical work flows. RMTPP surveyed clinics to
assess need for tobacco cessation GPRA metrics and had a high response rate
of 60%! Technical assistance has been provided to partners as well as one
informal workshop. The project has been helpful to follow up with request for
materials and more information about CA Smokers' Helpline. The TA logs and
tracking measures are all very clear and organized. Thank you for keeping
these updated. Evaluation
activities are in the beginning stages, but the project is working closely
with the external evaluator to plan ahead and develop survey tools. Key
Informant Interviews are coming along well and participant training surveys
are in development. Thank you for focus group testing surveys with
stakeholders! It
is wonderful the project is in touch with CA Quits and CSH. Please keep in
touch with these groups and other Statewides. It will also be helpful for
RMTPP to support the upcoming rebrand of the CA Smokers' Helpline to Kick it
CA. Thank
you for keeping CTCP up to date on your questions and anything which may come
up. Please let me know if you have questions or would like to discuss this
progress report. Thank you for the hard work! Kyla

Overall, the project
made great progress despite reported challenges and barriers. Staff vacancies
were difficult over the last reporting period and caused the PD to take on a
heavy work load. On top of finding a PC candidate and fulfilling their own
duties, the PD took on the PC activity duties. Hopefully, this will get much
better with the recent hire and addition of the new PC. COVID challenges have
been ongoing, but the project continues to do great work. The
TLC sessions have continued well. The project actively conducts regular
outreach and conducted TA sessions for tribal partners. RMTPP presented at
four conferences to introduce the project and continued joint collaborations
with tribal organizations. Communications on social media and Partners are
consistent. This reporting period, the project grew the Speaker's Bureau. The
RMTPP is collecting information from resources and drafting up a plan to
engage Native youth and prepare them for presenting to Tribal Leadership.
Looking forward to hearing more about youth trainings. During
this project period the RMTPP team provided four workshop presentations to
six tribal organizations and programs at 15 sites. Great job on planning,
scheduling, and conducting these workshops. The project provided relevant
cessation information for each workshop. Activity 2-7-1 has some narrative of
workshops conducted and the draft model policy is in progress. If not done so
already, please share draft model policy language with the Public Health Law
Center for feedback. The project is working on KIIs for objective two and
these are planned to ramp up for the next reporting period. Many trainings
were attended by the team and we appreciate your participation in planning
workgroups. There has been great coordination and collaboration taking place!
Keep up the awesome work and thanks for your continued dedication and
commitment. For

Great job Native Star!
Despite some challenges I am encouraged by the progress you are making with
all of your activities and the exciting news of BAIHP Clinic finalizing their
draft model policy for adoption this summer! Thank
you for sharing such detailed narratives for all your activities and tracking
measures to support the work being done. It provided me with an understanding
of what delayed a few of activities, what strategies your team is
implementing, how close you are to completing many of the implementation
activities, and your overall progress throughout your scope of work. While it
can be frustrating and challenging to stay on track with the continued
changes COVID-19 can bring to the community, your team is doing a wonderful
job engaging and educating the community and stakeholders to achieve your
objectives in tobacco prevention work. As
always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at
cynthia.foltz@cdph.ca.gov. Thank
you, Cindy
