The MCH Epi Group is pleased to announce a new tool for MCH epidemiologists, the MCH Epi Online Discussion Forum.  Hosted by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, this discussion forum gives MCH epidemiologists a place to share knowledge and resources that provides functionality beyond the currently available email lists.  File attachments are permitted, the discussion trail is preserved online, and the forum is searchable. The H1N1 virus and the Title V needs assessment are examples of topics that might be discussed.

The forum is open to anyone who registers, regardless of CSTE or other membership status, and there is no cost associated with participating in the MCH Epi Group or the MCH Epi Online Discussion Forum.  To register, go to http://www.cste.org and click on CSTE Program Forums.  Under Chronic/Oral/MCH, click on the MCH Epidemiologists folder to access the discussion forum.  It is useful to "subscribe" to the forum by checking the appropriate box.  You will get an e-mail with a direct link whenever someone posts a message.
