The Community Health Promotion Handbook: Action Guides to Improve Community Health


Description

The Community Health Promotion Handbook is an evidence-based tool that includes five action guides. Each action guide translates a specific recommendation from The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide) into “how to” guidance to help public health practitioners and others interested in promoting health implement effective community-level health promotion strategies. The topics covered are diabetes management, physical activity, and tobacco-use treatment.

Each action guide contains:
  • Overview of the recommendation and supporting evidence
  • Links to tools and resources for planning and implementation
  • Tips for implementation and overcoming potential obstacles

  • Questions and potential data sources for evaluation planning
