Strategic Vision

• Tobacco/Nicotine
  Reduce exposure to and use of tobacco and nicotine products among children and adolescents. Potential projects might include disseminating educational materials on the risks of e-cigarettes and vaping to community stakeholders or families or encouraging caregivers to quit.
• Vaccination
  Increase vaccination rates of Kansas children and adolescents according to the ACIP guidelines. Projects could include collaboration between schools and health departments or working to increase practice immunization rates.
• Foster Care
  Improve care for foster care children and communication among those serving these children. Potential projects might include innovative ways to manage the care of foster care children in a practice or collaborations with local foster care contractors or foster care families.
• Gun Safety
  Reduce the number of children harmed by gun (firearm) violence in Kansas. A project in this area could include distribution of gun locks or gun safety materials to families or community partners.
