How To Use The Toolkit
Navigate below to explore a chronic disease modernization self-assessment, find strategy specific tools, or connect with groups and colleagues working to advance their modernization activities.
The toolkit content is intentionally not sequential to allow folks to engage in activities that are relevant and meaningful for your chronic disease modernization priorities.
Still unsure where to begin? Scroll to the bottom of the page to get in touch with CSTE staff who can answer your questions or direct you to resources.
Take the chronic disease surveillance modernization capacity self-assessment to help guide you on where to start and suggest areas within the toolkit to focus on, depending on your available resources and specific needs.
Navigate directly to the specific strategies your program is working on or wants to begin working on. View implementation stories to see others’ progress, learn about best practices for implementation, and explore how to apply examples to meet your needs.
Check out the collaboration section, where you can identify workgroups by topic area or region of interest and learn more about data modernization or chronic disease.
