Types of Interventions

Priority interventions - a subset of primary interventions that we believe will have the greatest potential reach and impact for the outcomes associated with the FOAs

12

Types of Interventions

Supportive interventions - interventions that may not have high impact on their own, but can enhance the reach, effectiveness or knowledge about a priority intervention

Tailored interventions – targeted culturally-tailored interventions to address subgroup population(s) experiencing the greatest burden

Key Points to Remember:

• The List• Is a collection of priority, supportive,

and tailored interventions• Is not an all-encompassing list of do’s

and don’ts• Can be used to refine your objectives

and activities

• Use a combination of interventions to achieve your objectives

27

1. Are Innovative/practice-based Interventions OK?

• Supported in the workplans• Required to be rigorously evaluated• Supportive or tailored interventions

to expand or enhance the reach of a primary intervention

28

2: What about other interventions that we may have selected? • Not restricted to only those on the

list• To include an intervention in your

workplan, it must meet these criteria:• Legal• Evidence-based• High reach

29

3. Can we conduct lower impact interventions?• Can do these in conjunction with

other high impact interventions• Low impact examples include

• breastfeeding • community gardens• walking groups

30

4. Do we have to use the exact wording from the list in our CAPs? • Use the wording from the list• Can be a PPO or AO

31

5. How does the list align with the CAP format? • Interventions can be included as a

PPO or an AO• It is based on your intent and defined

outcomes

32

6. How will the list be used by the Division?

• Used to inform on-going work• One part of a larger technical

package• Project Officers and other DCH staff

may use the list to guide and focus your regular calls
