Goal and Framework

• The goal of the PSRs is to help advance evidence-based

public health policy and practice by—

• Highlighting opportunities to address important public health

problems

• Monitoring the use of available solutions
• Reporting the status of public health policies and practices in

states and DC

Rating Categories

The reports use a simple, three-level rating scale.

• Green—indicates that the policy or practice is established in

accordance with supporting evidence and/or expert recommendations

• Yellow—indicates that the policy or practice is established in

partial accordance with supporting evidence and/or expert recommendations

• Red—indicates that the policy or practice is either absent or

not established in accordance with supporting evidence and/or expert recommendations

Topic Selection

The 10 health topics were selected for inclusion in the PSRs because—

• They reflect current public health challenges and leading

causes of death and disability

• They align with public health priorities and national

initiatives, such as CDC’s Winnable Battles

• They include solution drawn from scientific evidence and/or

expert recommendations to address these public health challenges

7

Policy and Practice Inclusion Criteria

The policies and practices reported in the PSRs were selected because they can be monitored using state-level data that are readily available for most states and the District of Columbia, and meet one of the following criteria:

• Supported by systematic review(s) of scientific evidence of

effectiveness (e.g., The Guide to Community Preventive Services)

• Explicitly cited in a national strategy or national action plan (e.g.,

Healthy People 2020)

• Recommended by a recognized expert body, panel, organization,

study, or report with an evidence-based focus (e.g., Institute of Medicine)

What Users are Saying

“I will take the PSRs and policies that are suggested and I will use data from CDC to work with teams to incorporate the policy targets into [our] strategic plan over the next five years.” “PSRs help justify to legislators the need in so many different arenas. You can pull this report up and it helps.” “PSRs are one more resource we use to justify why we’re working on certain aspects of

• ur projects. It shows there

are national priorities for certain parts of the work.”
