Evidence Toolkits
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 Toolkits provide a framework to identify, understand, and implement “what works” in creating new or strengthening current ESMs.
The Toolkits provide links to access strategies through the Evidence Accelerators, 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.
Each toolkit presents resources that align with the three project goals: (1) accelerating with evidence (to start with the science); (2) thinking upstream with planning tools (to leading with the need); and (3) working together with implementation tools (to move from planning to practice).
