Advancing Evidence-Based Interventions in Rural Communities, a Region 6 Spotlight Speaker Webinar

Description:

The Putting Public Health Evidence in Action training, originally created by the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network, helps health practitioners and program planners apply evidence-based approaches. University of Iowa Prevention Research Center for Rural Health adapted it for rural and micrometropolitan communities, incorporating feedback from community advisors and trainees. This webinar will summarize key points from the six training modules, highlight rural examples of the principles in action, and introduce the accompanying activities and resources.

This webinar offers one CHES advanced-level CE contact hour.
