Instructions for CD

This CD contains community involvement products developed and used by the 
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).  It is a companion CD 
for a 16-page booklet entitled Community Involvement in ATSDR's Public Health 
Assessment Process.  The booklet and CD were prepared by the Community Involvement 
Branch (CIB), Division of Health Assessment and Consultation, for ATSDR's 
Public Health Assessment (PHA) Training.  This training is mainly provided 
to ATSDR staff and its cooperative agreement partners.  Occasionally other 
stakeholders may attend.

Examples of community involvement products, such as fact sheets, are provided 
via this CD to participants of the PHA training to show how ATSDR uses these 
materials to involve site communities in ATSDR's work.  The products have been 
prepared by ATSDR's Visual Information Center (VIC); the Office of Policy and 
External Affairs; the Program Evaluation, Records, and Information Services 
Branch, DHAC; and by CIB.
  			
The products are filed by type: Comment Sheets, Fact Sheets, Flyers, 
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Maps, Media Announcements, Posters, 
and Pre-Printed Paper.  

Products prepared by VIC and GIS are in two or more colors, while fact sheets 
and flyers prepared by CIB in-house are usually printed with black ink on 
either pre-printed colored paper (five colors available) or on colored paper 
(blue, green, etc.).   Those that CIB prepares will be shown in this CD in 
black ink only, except for some examples on pre-printed colored paper which 
have been scanned.  The following acronyms are used to describe the different 
products.
