Using What Works

The Using What Works workshop will help participants understand the importance of evidence-based programs as a starting place for their own programs. Participants will learn how to choose an evidence-based program that has the potential to be successful in their communities and how to adapt programs to ensure fidelity and fit. This workshop, adapted from the NCI's Using What Works program, teaches participants how to plan a health program using evidence-based programs. Participants in Using What Works will have the opportunity to learn about:

• Defining evidence-informed and evidence-based programs
• Planning with a focus on needs assessment
• Making it fit - the adaptation process
• Taking next steps
