The EBCCP website is a searchable database of cancer control programs and implementation materials. EBCCP gives program planners and public health practitioners easy and immediate access to evidence-based materials. The site outlines programs available for use in a community or clinical setting. Currently, there are over 200 programs available on the EBCCP website across many health topics (e.g., tobacco control, HPV vaccination, cancer screening, survivorship/supportive care), delivery settings (e.g., community- and faith-based organizations, schools, clinical settings), and populations (e.g., adolescents, adults, and Black, Hispanic or Latino, Asian, and White communities).

Implementation Science at a Glance is a workbook designed specifically for cancer control practitioners. It provides a succinct overview of the rapidly evolving field. This workbook was written by members of the National Cancer Institute Implementation Science team and reviewed by public health practitioners and implementation researchers. Through summaries of key theories, methods, and models, the guide shows how the use of implementation science can support the effective adoption of evidence-based interventions. Case studies illustrate how practitioners are successfully applying implementation science in their cancer control programs.

Putting Public Health Evidence in Action, developed by the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN), is an interactive training curriculum to support community program planners, health educators and practitioners in developing capacity to use evidence-based approaches to improve the health of their community. Resources needed to plan and deliver a “Putting Public Health Evidence in Action” training workshop with links to videos and supporting materials are available.

This workbook provides key information, practical suggestions, and examples on how to effectively communicate health-related scientific data to the public, policy makers, and the media.
