What Works for Health

The What Works for Health database summarizes research from a variety of sources to help community leaders, coalitions, and others select promising strategies to respond to their health priorities. This database rates the effectiveness of policies and programs that can impact the multiple determinants of health. It was remodeled in late 2010 and has many new features, including:

• A user-friendly interface that makes it easier to find evidence-based policies and programs
• Opportunities to share knowledge about real life implementation of policies and practices
• Color-coded evidence rating scales
• Printable one page summaries of policies and programs
• A cross walk with Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 focus areas
