      The Community Guide's Evidence-Based Interventions and health department 
      accreditation standards.

AB  - CONTEXT: Recent years have seen rising interest in initiatives that focus on 
      public health improvement. This includes support for accreditation of public 
      health departments-administered by the Public Health Accreditation Board 
      (PHAB)-and increasing expectations that health departments should use 
      evidence-based programs, services, and policies (interventions) such as those 
      described in The Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide). 
      OBJECTIVE: This project was initiated to explore the potential connections 
      between Community Guide interventions and PHAB domains, standards, and measures. 
      DESIGN: The project team focused on developing a Crosswalk tool to assist health 
      departments in identifying evidence-based interventions from The Community Guide 
      whose implementation could help document conformity with PHAB domains, standards, 
      and measures. All Community Preventive Services Task Force-recommended 
      interventions were reviewed to determine whether they reflect the intent and 
      requirements of the PHAB standards and measures. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Three 
      types of connections were defined through which Community Guide interventions 
      could be relevant to the required documentation for a PHAB measure. All instances 
      of these connections were identified and included in the Crosswalk. RESULTS: The 
      Crosswalk tool consists of 2 tables. The first table cross-references individual 
      PHAB domains, standards, and measures with interventions from The Community Guide 
      that could help provide documentation for accreditation. The second table can 
      help accreditation preparation staff to engage with program staff. It is 
      searchable by Community Guide topic, identifying the PHAB measures that relate to 
      each Community Guide intervention within that topic. The type, location, and 
      extent of connections between Community Guide interventions and PHAB domains, 
      standards, and measures are presented and discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Tools such as 
      the Crosswalk can be instrumental in advancing the use of evidence-based 
      interventions in public health practice.
