Grant Description: The purpose of the program is to provide support for a cooperative agreement to provide evidence based training and educational programs about Tourette Syndrome (TS) on both national and local levels. The programs should provide educational opportunities for audiences of medical and allied health professionals, educators, and the general public, including families, on appropriate diagnosis, co-occurring conditions, and best practices for treatment, and life management skills for children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. The education and outreach activities should incorporate both live and multimedia components and also have activities focusing on minority and underserved populations. Additionally, an evaluation component should be incorporated to measure the impact of all proposed activities on changes in knowledge and actual changes in practice as a result of medical and educational trainings, and dissemination of scientifically valid information. The activities will increase recognition and diagnosis of TS, decrease stigma associated with this condition, and increase provision and quality of healthcare services available for TS patients.
