Public Health Interventions

Public Health Interventions

Most successful public health programs are implemented on six key areas. These key areas include:

1. Innovation to develop the evidence base for action.
2. A technical package of a limited number of high-priority, evidence-based interventions that together will have a major impact.
3. Effective performance management, especially through rigorous, real-time monitoring, evaluation, and program improvement.
4. Partnerships and coalitions with public- and private-sector organizations.
5. Communication of accurate and timely information to the health care community, decision makers, and the public to effect behavior change and engage civil society.
6. Political commitment to obtain resources and support for effective action.
