TEIP Program Assessment Tool

The Program Assessment Tool is designed to support health promotion practitioners in the use of evidence-informed practice principles to enhance local programs. The tool is based on research by the University of Waterloo, Population Health Research Group to identify 'Best' and 'Promising' practices in health promotion and chronic disease prevention.

The aim of the Tool is NOT to label programs as 'best' or 'promising', but to strengthen the program along 19 evidence-informed criteria. Applying the 19 criteria to local programs combines a quality assessment process with a capacity-building approach.
