Portail canadien des pratiques exemplaires en matière de promotion de la santé et de la prévention des maladies chroniques

Le Portail canadien des pratiques exemplaires est une base de données dotée des interventions en matière de santé communautaire et de santé de la population. Les interventions se trouvant dans le Portail ont été évaluées, elles se sont avérées efficaces et elles peuvent être adaptées et reproduites par d’autres professionnels de la santé publique travaillant dans des domaines semblables.
Voici les principales composantes du Portail :
• catalogue des sites d’examen systématique des pratiques exemplaires, comme la Campbell Collaboration, le Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care et la Cochrane Library (tous en anglais seulement);
• base de données, avec moteur de recherche, des interventions communautaires;
• ressources pour aider à atteindre des objectifs en matière de planification de la santé publique, de prévention des maladies chroniques et de promotion de la santé. Ces ressources sont organisées selon les sept étapes de la santé publique fondée sur des données probantes du Centre de collaboration nationale des méthodes et outils.
