Community-Defined Interventions

Community Defined Interventions are programs where the community plays a central role in the design of the project.

These seven community-based organizations followed this model and implemented community defined evidence practices.

Community-Defined Evidence Practices (CDEPs) are defined as “A set of practices that communities have used and determined to yield positive results as determined by community consensus over time and which may or may not have been measured empirically but have reached a level of acceptance by the community.”
