The California Public Health Roadmap for Firearm Violence Prevention, developed by the California Department of Public Health, outlines local strategies to reduce and prevent firearm violence from a public health perspective. It identifies eight key strategies, including addressing racism, elevating positive childhood experiences while reducing adverse childhood experiences, changing social norms, strengthening household financial security, strengthening social supports, improving neighborhood conditions, improving firearm safety practices, and implementing community violence intervention programs. The roadmap aims to provide a framework for local public health organizations to adopt evidence-based and evidence-informed prevention strategies.

Tobacco Education And Research Oversight Committee Plan 2025-2026
This plan aims to achieve health equity by eliminating commercial tobacco and nicotine use in California. It focuses on ending the commercial tobacco epidemic by fighting industry influence and reducing tobacco-related health disparities. Key objectives include reducing tobacco-related disparities, building capacity to end the epidemic, addressing the evolving tobacco product landscape, protecting youth and young adults from tobacco, promoting smokefree environments, reducing tobacco product waste, promoting tobacco cessation, and countering the tobacco and cannabis industries. The overarching vision is a commercial tobacco-free California where communities are not disproportionately impacted and individuals are free from tobacco-related diseases and addiction.
