hi everyone - 

this is to let you know that the IDM Manual - improved and expanded! - is now available on the website of the Centre for Health Promotion (University of Toronto) at http://www.utoronto.ca/chp/bestp.html; this Manual is the distillation of 5 years of experience of the Best Practices Project and everyone involved -

downloadable in either Word or pdf format, the IDM Manual contains the following sections: 
¨ Introduction & Basics (including a Foreword by Irv Rootman)
¨ Values, Goals & Ethics 
¨ Theories & Underlying Beliefs 
¨ Evidence Framework 
¨ Understanding of the Environment 
¨ Response to Practice Issues 
¨ Research & Evaluation 
¨ IDM Framework Steps 
¨ Working Through the IDM Framework 
¨ Case Studies (reports from sites who have worked with the IDM)
¨ Workshops 
¨ Resources for Health Promotion (annotated; sections include heath promotion related journals, databases, evaluation resources, and more)
¨ Workshop slides (PowerPoint)
¨ Evidence Framework Workbook (Word only, for people to work directly in on the computer)

the IDM (Interactive Domain Model) is based on a definition of best practices as sets of processes and activities that are consistent with health promotion values, goals and ethics, theories and beliefs, evidence, and understanding of the environment, and that are most likely to achieve health promotion goals in any given situation

thanks to all Click4HPers who contributed to the Project in so many wonderful ways - 

best wishes to all,
Barbara Kahan and Michael Goodstadt
and the rest of the Best Practices Work Group
