During the next several decades, increasing numbers of older Americans will suffer chronic illnesses and many will face challenges due to growing racial and economic health disparities. Agencies serving older adults need to respond by creating and promoting evidence-based health promotion (EBHP) practices to address the growing diversity among older adults in urban areas. One such agency, the Detroit Area Agency on Aging recently partnered with the Wayne State University School of Social Work to conduct an EBHP educational program for service providers. The educational program used information from the National Council on Aging Center for Healthy Aging, the reach, effectiveness/efficacy, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) model, and the National Wellness Institute. Survey respondents found that the interaction with other participants was beneficial and helped them to conceptualize EBHP as a new way of thinking about service delivery. Participants learned practical lessons about implementing a training program on evidence-based practice and additional steps are offered to increase the uptake of EBHP practices by older adult service providers.
在接下来的几十年里，越来越多的美国老年人将患有慢性疾病，而且由于种族和经济方面日益扩大的健康差距，许多人将面临挑战。为老年人服务的机构需要做出回应，通过创建和推广基于证据的健康促进（EBHP）实践，来应对城市地区老年人日益增长的多样性。底特律地区老龄问题机构就是这样一个机构，它最近与韦恩州立大学社会工作学院合作，为服务提供者开展了一个EBHP教育项目。该教育项目采用了来自美国老龄问题全国委员会健康老龄化中心、覆盖范围、有效性/功效、采用、实施和维持（RE-AIM）模型以及国家健康研究所的信息。调查受访者发现，与其他参与者的互动是有益的，并帮助他们将EBHP概念化为一种思考服务提供的新方式。参与者学到了关于实施基于证据的实践培训项目的实用经验，并提供了额外的步骤，以增加老年服务提供者对EBHP实践的采用。
