ANR Foundation (PETS Technical Assistance)

Tobacco control policy has been well established in California and produced significant

public health gains. But challenges remains as new products are launched in the market,

and the tobacco industry targets news groups of Californians. The goal of this project is to

provide useful, objective policy surveillance data to inform ongoing statewide efforts. It will

expand and enhance tobacco-related policy collection and reporting in California. The

ANR Foundation (ANRF) has three decades of experience in tobacco-related policy

surveillance, analyses and reporting, and is uniquely qualified to provide tobacco-related

laws data and reports. Its expertise in managing and utilizing an Advisory Committee’s to

advise and inform its existing Laws Database expansion will inform the proposed effort to

establish, maintain, and collaborate with a Policy Evaluation Tracking System for the

expanded policy interests and needs in California.
