Competencies in focus: Assessment

Learn how coalitions can use community assessments to identify needs, guide prevention efforts, and build stronger partnerships. In this Competencies in Focus webinar, we’ll explore the Assessment competency, including the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are central to successful assessment.

Hear a real-world example from Williamstown, Kentucky, where a local coalition worked with partners and community members to assess air quality and gather community support for a smokefree ordinance. Using this data, the coalition successfully built support among decision-makers, leading to the first comprehensive local smokefree policy in Northern Kentucky.

Speakers:

• Marsha Bach, Programs Manager, Northern Kentucky Health Department
• Rick Skinner, former Mayor of Williamstown, Kentucky
