Public Health Evidence into Action

Overview:

This is a series of three 60-minute recordings of live webinars.

The series aims to equip public health practitioners, community leaders, and health educators to implement evidence-based approaches (EBAs) relevant to community practice. Case examples include real-world EBAs from work with our partners in nutrition, physical activity, tobacco control, and cancer screening. The content, timeframe, and case examples can be adapted to specific audience needs and interests.

Part 1: How to Find Health Initiatives that Work

Part 2: Balancing the Evidence with Your Community Needs 

Part 3: Implementing and Evaluating with Quality and Fidelity 

The following series of three 60 minute webinar sessions (Jan-Feb 2015) aim to equip public health practitioners, community leaders, and health educators to implement evidence-based approaches (EBAs) relevant to community practice. Sessions will be spaced 2-3 weeks apart. Case examples include real-world EBAs from work with our partners in nutrition, physical activity, tobacco control, and cancer screening. The content, timeframe, and case examples can be adapted to specific audience needs and interests.

Strategic criteria for selecting EBAs that fit a community will be presented, including audience characteristics, fit with mission, leadership support, and organizational readiness. We will also define implementation fidelity, steps in program adaptation, and what likely can be changed in an EBA while maintaining fidelity.
