Plan and (hypothetically) evaluate a public health intervention utilizing the MAP-IT Tool.

Based upon the key findings, gaps, and recommendations obtained from the family assessment and the community assessment perform an evaluation of an actual or hypothetical public health intervention. The intervention MUST address one of the Healthy People Topics & Objectives

No two public health interventions are exactly alike. But most interventions share a similar path to success: Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track.

Otherwise known as MAP-IT, this framework can be used to plan and evaluate public health interventions to achieve Healthy People 2020 objectives. Whether you are a seasoned public health professional or new to the field, the MAP-IT framework will help you create your own path to a healthy community and a healthier Nation.
