Using Evidence-Based Practices
Over the past decade, there has been increasing emphasis on evidence-based public health, and many state and national funders require evidence-based interventions. At the same time, there are barriers to wider implementation, such as lack of familiarity with the concept and under-developed skills to apply it.
This webinar starts with the core foundations of public health (e.g., a population perspective, levels of prevention) and explains how evidence-based practices can be incorporated into the various essential public health services. The webinar includes an overview of resources to find evidence-based interventions (EBIs), a process to select and adapt EBIs, and potential barriers to successful implementation in the local context. This presentation supports the Public Health Accreditation Board’s domain 10 (evidence-based practices) and domain 8 (workforce).
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the concepts underlying evidence-based public health
- Describe the process of selecting evidence-based interventions and other programs for local use
- Analyze potential barriers to successful implementation of evidence-based practices
