Evidence-Based Practice
![Page 16: HealthLINE Texas Woman’s University T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences January 17, 2013 Public Health Information on the Web.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d8c5503460f94a73eaf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Evidence-Based Practice
Collection of scientific evidence to support decisions in public health.
Why is it important?Allocation of resourcesReturn on investment
For every $1 spent on smoking cessation programs, you save $1.50 in reduction of health care costs
Example: “City Initiative Brings Fresh Produce to Houston’s ‘Food Deserts’”

Evidence-Based Public Health
“the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective programs and policies in public health through application of principles of scientific reasoning, including systematic uses of data and information systems, and appropriate use of behavioral science theory and program planning models.”

Statistics & Data Sets
• Caveat: statistics are collected to meet the needs of the collector!
• Organizational perspective and bias • Biases can determine what data are collected,
how they are collected and outcomes that are reported• Data: raw numbers; must be processed to be of practical
use• Statistics: analyzed raw data in a meaningful format
![Page 24: HealthLINE Texas Woman’s University T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences January 17, 2013 Public Health Information on the Web.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d8c5503460f94a73eaf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
To count … or not to count
“Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.”

Closing thoughts….
“Clean water and health care and school and food and tin roofs and cement floors, all of
these things should constitute a set of basics that people must have as birthrights.”
