What are the AoA evidence-based prevention programs?
The AoA evidence-based prevention programs focus on identified key health conditions and risk factors for older adults in the community. The programs are based on scientific evidence or proven intervention and are suitable for adoption by a variety of community aging service providers. In their development and implementation the prevention programs maintain fidelity to the original model. Once the program is implemented the focus is to recruit and retain high risk, diverse older adults. The effectiveness and reach of the program is evaluated and the aspects that work are disseminated.
