NEWS
Healthy People 2010 Information Access Project:
Evidence and Research Is Just a Click Away
Evidence-based public health is an intervention or policy for which where there has been a careful examination of research relating to best practices and scientific effectiveness. Ideally, public health practitioners should consult published scientific literature before planning a program, service or policy. In practice, however, public health professionals often make decisions based on short-term demands and anecdotal evidence. Quite simply, most professionals do not have time to carefully research every planned health intervention.
A free website developed by the National Library of Medicine (an institute at the National Institutes of Health) and the Public Health Foundation simplifies the search for best practices and evidence-based literature. The HP 2010 Information Access Project website allows you to search published literature for evidence-based strategies directly related to the Healthy People 2010 objectives. There are currently 29 focus areas listed on the site:
