Approach and Methodology
To meet our goal of providing smart, practical guidance to funders, we synthesize the best available information from three domains: research, informed opinion, and field experience. For this report, we:
- Reviewed dozens of research studies;
- Conducted interviews with experts and practitioners in areas related to community health; and
- Completed site visits to four of the organizations featured.
By considering evidence from all three sources, we leverage the strengths while minimizing the limitations of each. The most promising opportunities exist where all the recommendations of these three domains overlap.
