Are you new to Health in All Policies and need help figuring out where to start? Do you wish for a straightforward guide to your options for trialing different HiAP tactics? And once you've implemented HiAP tactics, how do you know if they're working? This webinar will demonstrate NEW tools from the SOPHIA Equity and HiAP Working Group with an interactive selector of HiAP tactics and a HiAP evaluation tool from NACCHO and ASTHO.
Tested by working HiAP professionals around the county, the SOPHIA HiAP Strategy Selector Tool tool allows you to select your community characteristics. It elevates HiAP tactics that are more likely to be a good fit for your context. Learn from the experts who developed the tool and try it out yourself during this interactive webinar.
