Because of its relationship with ASTHO and all State and Territorial chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs, the CDD can provide state and national leadership for developing programs to prevent and control chronic disease, including behaviors and conditions that contribute to the development of chronic disease conditions. The CDD is uniquely capable of analyzing, advising, and fulfilling liaison responsibilities for comprehensive chronic disease prevention and control activities in such broad-based specialties as aging, arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, diabetes health education, managed care, nutrition, osteoporosis, physical activity, risk reduction, and tobacco use. The CDD membership is multidisciplinary, including physicians, nurses, health educators, social workers, nutritionists, epidemiologists, administrators, and others. CDD has served as a policy development and capacity-building organization for state chronic disease matters since 1988 and has as one of its major objectives, the sharing of information within and between State health departments. The CDD is responsible for developing, implementing and evaluating state-based chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs, therefore they are uniquely qualified to conduct and fulfill the national requirements and focus of this program announcement. The CDD accomplishes its mission by disseminating information on chronic disease program needs and services, as well as recommending and promoting improved policies and programs. The CDD also provides consultation and guidance to states in the establishment of statewide systems of coordinated population-based preventions. All of these activities are accomplished through cooperation and collaboration with national, state, and local partners in the public and private sectors. Through the work conducted under this Program Announcement, CDC will be in a position to promote and foster an even greater collaboration with public and private health care providers and state prevention programs.
