2 Tools for Texans: Helping Communities Fight Cancer ABOUT THE WORKSHOP / OBJECTIVES This skill-building workshop will enhance the capacity of participants to implement cancer prevention and control programs in Texas communities statewide. The program was developed to help Texans work together toward the goals of a) tobacco use prevention and cessation, b) improving nutrition and increasing physical activity to reduce the incidence of obesity, and c) increasing the use of screening and early detection services. All participants will obtain the tools necessary for developing a plan, using cancer statistics, planning meetings, media and outreach, find ing resources, working with priority populations, locating funding, influencing public policy, and evaluating efforts. Cancers that can be prevented or detected earlier by screening account for over half of all new cancer cases this year.
