Welcome to the CBAS download center! In order to help support the information sharing and advocacy activities of CBAS members and others who are interested in cervical barriers, CBAS has developed materials and compiled information for the download center. All of these materials can be replicated for use in different contexts.

CBAS encourages you to share any new materials that you develop or new ideas that you implement so that we can all learn and benefit from your experiences. You can contact CBAS at info@cervicalbarriers.org.
