A state strategy session is a key informant meeting convened to discuss and compile evidence-based strategies and recommendations for states/communities to eliminate tobacco use and cancer-related disparities among people with mental illness and substance use disorders (behavioral health) in communities. By hosting a state strategy session, states can serve as a vital resource for their peers who aim to reduce tobacco use and cancer-related disparities for those with behavioral health conditions. State strategy sessions may also be featured on the National Behavioral Health Network’s highly trafficked website, www.bhthechange.org; an example of a state strategy session success story can be found here.
