Resources
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) work with local communities and partners to develop, test, and evaluate solutions to public health problems. The solutions developed by PRCs are intended to be applied widely to improve population health outcomes.
Focused on the Mountain West
The Mountain West Prevention Research Center (MW-PRC) is the first PRC with partnerships in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. There are limited health promotion, disease prevention services, health services, and health professionals throughout the Mountain West. The MW-PRC helps meet the unique needs of the Mountain West by bringing local community leaders together for region-wide collaborations.
Pathway to Practice
CDC developed the Pathway to Practice (P2P) Resource Center to centralize evidence-based strategies and interventions together with supporting materials, trainings, and tools developed in real-world practice settings. By making these resources easily accessible in one place, the P2P Resource Center helps researchers and practitioners learn about and implement best practices for their community public health programs. The P2P Resource Center provides free tools to identify and use evidence-based methods, and has resources for the general public and community members, public health practitioners, researchers or evaluators, and decision-makers.
