Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention
Legislative Database
The Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) funded programs in 32 states and the District of Columbia in 2006 to promote cardiovascular health and to prevent morbidity and mortality due to heart disease and stroke. The Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (HDSP) Policy Project was conducted to support the states in policy development and implementation. Through a contract with Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR), the following resources were developed:
- An annotated bibliography of state HDSP policy and activity sources
- A centralized database for state HDSP policies
- A guide to the fundamentals of HDSP policymaking
- A handbook for evaluating HDSP policies using an adaptation of the RE-AIM framework
In addition, a complementary mapping application was created so that users of the database can also map the policies based on selected criteria. This function allows the user to see a visual representation of the policies nationwide with the ability to copy or print maps for other uses. The HDSP Policy Project was supported by the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Coordinating Center for Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
