The Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support convened a workgroup in 2010 to focus on the issue of best practices. This workgroup produced a conceptual framework that defines a continuum of practices. Two inter-related components were identified as of primary importance in examining practices - public health impact and the quality of evidence. In this presentation, an overview of the conceptual framework will be provided and discussion initiated. Learning objectives: Participants will be able to 1) Describe the conceptual framework; 2) Provide feedback on possible utility and 3) Discuss some of the implications and limitations.
