 Make informed decisions to plan, modify and evaluate public health programs  Implement effective interventions to improve community health  Discontinue or modify ineffective interventions  Optimize the use of limited resources  Justify proposed public health programs to funders and stakeholders

EBPH & Public Health Accreditation

Domain 10: Contribute to and Apply the Evidence Base of Public Health

  • Standard 10.1: Identify and Use the Best Available

Evidence for Making Informed Public Health Practice Decisions

  • Standard 10.2: Promote Understanding and Use of

Research Results, Evaluations, and Evidence-based Practices with Appropriate Audiences

Evidence-Based Public Health Process

  • 1. Define the problem
  • 2. Identify the evidence
  • 3. Assess the evidence
  • 4. Prioritize and select interventions
  • 5. Implement interventions
  • 6. Evaluate the results

  • Disseminate your findings

Define the Problem

 The health issue of concern  Population characteristics:

  • Age, gender, race/ethnicity, income, education,
  • ccupation, health behaviors, geographical

region, environmental factors

 Size and scope of the problem

  • Morbidity, mortality, disability, quality of life

measures

 Outcomes - measurable objectives  Potential interventions
