Best Practices Toolkit

The Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) Best Practices Toolkit provides guidance, resources, and technical tools to help WISEWOMAN programs recruit and engage program participants, deliver lifestyle interventions, facilitate and maintain behavior change, and retain program participants. Many of the practices described may be useful to a broader audience of health practitioners. This toolkit was developed by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, WISEWOMAN Program.
