What Works for
Health, the latest release from County Health Rankings
& Roadmaps, is an online, searchable menu of policies and programs—each
with a rating based on strength of evidence for factors that can help make
communities healthier places to live, learn, work and play. Each of the
policies, such as increased alcohol taxes, for example, and programs, such as
early childhood interventions, included in What Works for Health is given an
evidence rating to help guide users toward choosing proven strategies.
What Works for Health
is easy to use. Simply choose a health factor (i.e. tobacco use, employment,
access to health care, or environmental quality) and browse through the
evidence ratings for programs or policies, that address the particular health
factor of interest.
Together, the County
Health Rankings & Roadmaps and the new What Works for Health give
you a profile of your county’s health, guidance to take action, and information
on strategies that can make your community healthier.
