Evidence-Based Support for Communities
Identifying, translating, and disseminating research findings and evidence-based public health best practices in dementia caregiving is a main goal of the PHCOE-DC. This page contains a collection of materials, tools, and best-practices that public health agencies can use to support family members, friends, and other unpaid individuals who care for people living with dementia in their communities.
REACH OUT
REACH OUT is an action guide for implementing evidence-based caregiver support interventions. It is designed for use by agencies at state and local levels that currently offer, or are considering adding, services for older adults with dementia.

BRFSS Caregiving Infographics by State
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Caregiving Infographics by State are ideal for use in public health outreach efforts to raise awareness about the work and needs of caregivers in their state.
Finding, Selecting and Implementing Evidence-Based Interventions for your community
Making sure that high quality dementia caregiving programs are available in the community is important. How can we be confident that these programs are not received well, but effective as well? There are tools available for public health agencies and service providers that make it easy to find, select and implement dementia caregiver programs that are not only effective, but the “right fit” also.
