Welcome to the January 2005 edition of the Listserv. There are four parts to this edition: 1. a list of Hepatitis C Coordinators for all states with HepTalk participants; 2. Hablamos Juntos, a website with resources and information on interpreters, translations, and interpreter training; 3. a link to an article from the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors on integrating HIV and hepatitis screening and prevention; 4. A funding opportunity which may be interesting to some HepTalk participants.
Public Health Practices is a joint project of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota, in partnership with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO).
The mission of Public Health Practices is to serve as a one-stop shop for tools and strategies to respond to the health consequences of disasters and emergencies. Materials made available on the site represent concrete preparedness and response practices from state and local health departments, government agencies at all levels, and colleges and universities.
