Evidence-Based Programming
PowerPoint Presentations from November 3-4 Evidence-Based Programming and Funding Symposium
“Our programs work and save money, and we can prove it.” That’s the message that speakers delivered November 3 – 4 at a symposium sponsored by United Way, its Area Agency on Aging and the University of North Texas Health Science Center.
“The Future of Community Interventions: Evidence-Based Programming and Funding” brought together health professionals, nonprofit executives, social workers and hospital administrators to learn about the value of implementing programs that scientific studies have shown to be effective.
Among the programs showcased were ones that take a research-based approach to reducing depression in older adults, preventing falls, and managing children’s asthma. Some of the featured evidence-based practices, including caregiver education and chronic disease self-management, are part of United Way’s Live Well healthy aging and independent living initiative.
Below are links to PowerPoint presentations from the symposium.
