COFFEE BREAK WEBINAR
CBD146: Understanding Evidence: CDC?s Tool to Support
Evidence-Based Decision Making
Presented by: Dr. Natalie Wilkins
Scheduled: Thursday, June 27, 2013, 2:00 - 2:20 PM EDT
Description: Understanding Evidence is a new, interactive
web resource developed by CDC?s Division of Violence Prevention that supports
practitioners in making evidence-informed decisions. The goal of evidence-based
decision making is to bring a high standard of research evidence into the
decision- making process while taking into account the contextual and
experiential factors that influence decisions. In this webinar, practitioners
will learn how to
1) define the multiple forms of evidence involved in
evidence-based decision making, 2) identify standards of rigor for best
available research evidence, 3) Identify sources of and ways to collect each
type of evidence, and 4) Identify key stages and characteristics of an
evidence-based decision making process.
