Wisconsin Minority Health Program
Wisconsin Promising Practices Program
The What Works project team expects that the model by which we define
promising practices will continue to evolve as we implement and receive
feedback from participants in the Wisconsin Promising Practices Program.
For purposes of the What Works project, promising practices
are currently defined as practices or programs which (1) focus on improving
health in racial and ethnic minority populations, (2) produce positive
outcomes that can be demonstrated with systematically collected
quantitative and/or qualitative data, (3) are based to some degree on
proven practices drawn from the research literature and/or the experience
of community practitioners and leaders, and (4) are well-suited to the
context in which they are implemented in terms of language, belief systems
and other cultural factors. A promising practice may be an adaptation of
an evidence-based practice to a setting or population that differs from
the one in which it was originally developed, or a practice which is
developed "from the ground up" to fit a particular context.
