Description

This guide outlines a stakeholder and evidence-informed approach to planning outreach activities with priority populations. It offers a process for conducting a situation assessment to inform development as well as key messages on how to deliver and evaluate an outreach program for continued success.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The guide outlines four steps in this iterative model:

Get to know your population.
Design your outreach program.
Deliver the services.
Measure the results.

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
