It is called "Evidence-Based Cancer Control".  This exciting web-based training program was put together collaboratively with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and the Prevention Research Center in St. Louis under the direction of Ross Brownson.</div> <bR> <div> We hope that our set of e-learning courses will enable practitioners to practice and strengthen the critical thinking skills necessary to implement evidence-based practice. While the examples here apply to obesity and cancer control, the principles in our courses apply to any area of public health practice.</div> <bR> <div> Currently the following modules are available: <I>Partnership, Leadership, Policy and Evaluation.</I> We are creating additional modules and will add them as they are produced. Each module will contain an introductory explanation, a scenario that applies concepts to real-world situations, and resources for additional information.</div> <bR> <div> We invite you to participate in our training modules. We hope you enjoy this training program and that you will put this information into action. There is no cost for this training. Feel free to forward the invitation to others in Nebraska who are interested in public health. </div> <bR> <div> <I>Please click on the link below to </I><I><U>Sign Up</U></I><I> and access the training modules:</I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://prcstltraining.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://prcstltraining.org">http://prcstltraining.org</A></div> <bR> <div> For questions or comments, please contact:</div> <div> Paula Ballew-Project Manager</div> <div>                            <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000CC" FACE="Arial Narrow" ><A HREF="mailto:pballew@wustl.edu" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:pballew@wustl.edu">pballew@wustl.edu</A></FONT></div> <div>                            314-362-9645</div> <div> or</div> <bR> <div> Ross C.
