Evidence-based health promotion programs are proven to be efficient and effective interventions. This is an opportunity for you to get up to speed on the national movement that is taking place as aging services providers and community-based organizations embed these programs throughout states across the country. Learn what exactly constitutes an evidence-based program, and how you can implement one in your own organization.
You will learn to:
- Understand the need for evidence-based programs
- See the big picture -- evidence-based programs as a national movement
- Increase knowledge of evidence-based programming opportunities
- Learn about resources to assist in planning, implementing and evaluating programs
