other information	Guidance The state FIPS codes are the Federal Information Processing Standard codes developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The tribal program codes are codes assigned by CDC to be used by tribal programs in lieu of FIPS. Additional edits Programs should always record the FIPS code for the state or tribe where their program is located.

They can supplement the lifestyle intervention services by providing additional free or low-cost support to participants. If the receipt of mailed materials, an audiotape, or a DVD is confirmed by a phone call that includes counseling, the contact type should be coded as ‘2 Phone.’ Together, the mailing of materials and follow-up call should be considered one LSI contact. Cross edits The contact type for group setting can only be face-to-face. If other contact types are marked as occurring in a group setting, the validation tool will flag this field as an error.
