Interventions (behavioral and biomedical) and educational training are cost-effective, proven and scalable public health prevention approaches to disease prevention and maintenance among populations that bear the greatest burden of disease. Our Intervention and Training Team is certified in a number of evidence-based interventions endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and have developed several home grown interventions for populations that are oftentimes overlooked by the current healthcare system.
