11 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

25 Application

26 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
