A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke

Return to Table of Contents

Section 4. Implementation: Mobilizing for Action

Steps Toward Implementation

To make the Action Plan a reality, action is needed now. Mobilizing this action requires detailed plans of implementation; methods for measuring short–, mid–, and long–term outcomes and impacts; and a process for oversight and evaluation. 

Close collaboration with public health agencies at state, territorial, local, and tribal levels is needed. These collaborations can 1) promote development of specific implementation plans; 2) align partnerships to broaden and deepen the base of support for the Action Plan and strengthen overall capacity; 3) provide comprehensive, timely, and accurate data to guide policy and decision makers, health professionals, and the public; and 4) provide appropriate interaction among partners in the scientific community to advance prevention effectiveness research to evaluate policies and programs.
