With support from NACDD and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Prevention Research Center in St. Louis offers an evidence-based public health (EBPH) course to the membership of NACDD. The training focuses on nine specific content areas to improve public health practice. These skills act as a framework for the course. The EBPH training addresses many of the core competencies for public health professionals adopted by various accrediting bodies. Through presentations, practice exercises, and case studies, the course emphasizes application of skills and helps participants make use of information that is readily available to busy practitioners.
