Program Description
What is "evidence" in public health? This session defines types of evidence and the benefits of using evidence-based approaches (EBAs). It covers where to find reliable sources of evidence-based programs, policies and strategies (e.g., Community Guide to Preventive Services, Research Tested Intervention Programs, UNC Center for Training and Research Translation). We also discuss how to use these findings as you prepare to select and adapt EBAs which is the topic of the second webinar in this series.
