Prevention Agenda 2013-2018: Promoting Healthy Women, Infants and Children Action Plan

Evidence-based programs, policies and practices

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

  • The DOH has updated the Prevention Agenda's recommended set of evidence based programs, policies and practices to help local communities address local priorities. These recommendations are based on a review of the scientific literature, consultation with subject matter experts within the Department and external partners and the actual experience of local partnerships as reported on the Update Survey completed in December 2014. The goal of this revision is to provide local communities with a 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.
