Please join CSN on July 18, 2024, 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET for the next State Technical Assistance Webinar (STAW). This STAW will be the third in a series of QI 101 topics. Though we would like you to join us for the entire series, each STAW is a complete event.
During the July STAW, we focused on how to develop a health equity plan for child safety, with a particular focus on assessing and using data to inform areas of greatest need, readiness, aims, and programmatic focus.
