Disseminating Public Health Evidence to Support State Health Department Prevention of Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Information Dissemination, Evidence-Based Public Health

In brief

The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate dissemination strategies to promote the uptake of evidence-based cancer and other chronic disease prevention among state-level public health practitioners. Dissemination strategies such as multi-day in-person training workshops and electronic information exchange modalities are hypothesized to associate with improved access and use of public health evidence and organizational supports for program and policy decision making based on evidence-based public health.
