A
Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke
Return to Table of Contents
Section 3. Recommendations: A Call to Action
Overarching Premises
- All recommendations in
the plan should contribute to increasing quality and years of healthy life
and eliminating health disparities, as well as preventing heart disease
and stroke.
- Recommendations should
lead to specific actions and measurable outcomes that, when accomplished,
will advance the plan. If successful outcomes are effectively
communicated, the action steps that led to this success are likely to be
replicated throughout the public health system and society at large.
- Because the impact of
public health practice is ultimately local (even when the point of action
is national or global), the elements required to make a program effective
locally should be identified. This process should involve governmental
agencies, schools, work sites, communities, families, and other local
entities.
