Evidence Based Interventions and Measures to Assess Progress, Updated 2015 (Refresh Document)(PDF)

• The Prevention Agenda has been updated with new evidence based programs, policies and practices to help local communities address local priorities. These are based in the criteria used to compile the recommendations reported on in the Update Survey completed in December 2015. The goal of this revision is to provide local communities with a "fresh" set of interventions that offer local communities the best prospects of making meaningful progress in addressing chosen priorities. For each recommended intervention, the charts include short-term process measures to assess progress, as well as resources describing evidence-informed policies, programs and systems changes that will improve the variety of factors known to affect health.
