BE-A-Bridge Statewide Survey Full Report 4.18.07

The BE A BRIDGE Partnership aims to use a collaborative approach to build capacity among a broad spectrum of organizations for the purpose of linking tobacco resources to chronic disease efforts in Pennsylvania.  Among the core BE A BRIDGE initiatives are three Regional Summits in Eastern, Central and Western Pennsylvania, each to be followed with skill-based workshops.  The BE A BRIDGE Capacity Survey was developed by Philadelphia Health Management Corporation (PHMC) to solicit feedback from potential Summit and follow-up workshop attendees that would inform the planning of these events as well as to assess current capacity and training needs of organizations within Pennsylvania.  The survey was distributed through BE A BRIDGE partner networks yielding 209 anonymous responses across Pennsylvania.
