Greetings!

Welcome to this month's e-newsletter for the Find TB Resources Website (findtbresources.cdc.gov). The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to inform you about the featured Highlight of the Month, additional helpful resources in the database, and other updates to the website.

Highlight of the Month

This month's highlight is Tuberculosis Control Laws and Policies: A Handbook for Public Health and Legal Practitioners. With support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and guidance from the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA), the Centers for Law and the Public's Health: A Collaborative at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities (Center) created this Handbook for use by tribal, state, and local public health practitioners and their legal counsel to help improve their understanding and use of relevant laws to respond to challenges concerning TB control.
