During the next several decades, increasing numbers of older Americans will suffer chronic illnesses and many will face challenges due to growing racial and economic health disparities. Agencies serving older adults need to respond by creating and promoting evidence-based health promotion (EBHP) practices to address the growing diversity among older adults in urban areas. One such agency, the Detroit Area Agency on Aging recently partnered with the Wayne State University School of Social Work to conduct an EBHP educational program for service providers. The educational program used information from the National Council on Aging Center for Healthy Aging, the reach, effectiveness/efficacy, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) model, and the National Wellness Institute. Survey respondents found that the interaction with other participants was beneficial and helped them to conceptualize EBHP as a new way of thinking about service delivery. Participants learned practical lessons about implementing a training program on evidence-based practice and additional steps are offered to increase the uptake of EBHP practices by older adult service providers
