What Works Evidence Accelerators
The MCH Evidence Center has identified the latest strategies and practices as potential approaches for advancing each of the National Performance Measure (NPM) and Standardized Measure (SM) topic areas. These Accelerators provide a framework to identify, understand, and implement “what works” in creating new or strengthening current ESMs.
The Accelerators provide links to access strategies through the MCHbest database and state/jurisdiction- or community-based programs from AMCHP’s Innovation Hub; supporting evidence; outcomes; and examples of how Title V agencies can use these strategies directly or adopt components of the interventions that address each measure. Over 500 evidence-based/informed strategies have been identified across all topic areas.
