ASA continues to add significant educational materials to our Web-based health promotion/disease prevention site, Live Well Live Long: Steps to Better Health, at <www.asaging.org/cdc>. Topics include education management and cognitive vitality, and the site provides background information on the public health issues associated with those topic, strategies for outreach, community collaboration, program and campaign logistics, evaluation tools and ready-to-use curricula for presentations and activities. Special emphasis is given to strategies targeting racial and ethnic communities, and rural areas.

This year, the Web site will grow in content with four new programs: Steps to Mental Wellness; Roadmap to Driving Wellness; Diabetes Prevention and Management -- Small Steps with Big Rewards; and Physical Activity for Older Adults.

Keep informed of the availability of these new modules by subscribing to our monthly updates. Simply send an e-mail to ASA staff member Nancy Bui at <NBui@asaging.org>. Be sure your message includes your name and e-mail address
