About this Toolkit

Toolkit Development

The Rural Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Toolkit was first published on 5/4/2015 and last reviewed on 1/17/2024.

Toolkits are developed based on a review of FORHP grantees' applications, foundation-funded projects, and an extensive literature review, to identify evidence-based and promising models. Programs featured in the toolkit are interviewed to provide insights about their work and guidance for other rural communities interested in undertaking a similar project.
