Getting Started

Evidence-Based Health Promotion 101: This presentation by Marcia Ory gives an overview of evidence-based programming including what it is, why it’s important, how to find the right program for your agency, and how to measure success.

Evidence-based programs offer proven ways to promote health and prevent disease among older adults. The Center for Healthy Aging encourages and assists community-based organizations serving older adults to develop and implement these programs.

What are Evidence-Based Programs?

Evidence-based programs are based on research. When you implement one, you can be confident you’re delivering a program that works.  Evidence-based programming translates tested program models or interventions into practical, effective community programs that can provide proven health benefits to participants.

Advantages of Evidence-Based Programs

Evidence-based programs provide an ideal model for giving older adults this information and support. Evidence-based programs can add value in many ways.  First, they can significantly improve the health and well-being of older adults in the community. Second, they can help attract new participants and funders through innovative programming. Third, they can create powerful partnerships with other organizations, including health care providers.  Learn more about the advantages of these programs.
