I’ve had the good fortune to
work hand in hand with the Society for Public
Health Education (SOPHE) for the last two years to develop a new tool
called the SOPHE Knowledge
Center. Here’s what SOPHE said about
the SOPHE Knowledge Center (SKC) on their site:
The "SOPHE Knowledge
Center" (SKC) will provide a consistent, efficient way for health
education professionals to access materials relevant to their field and provide
evidence-based support for positive changes in health, health policy, research,
and/or practice. SKC is an interactive system that will catalogue ongoing
research, archive reports and other products, and capture information regarding
evidence-based practice and generation of new evidence based on research
results.
This system will enable
users worldwide to submit customized searches and retrieve information relevant
for guiding their work. Moreover, by closely tracking the use of knowledge and
its application, the system can better monitor the effectiveness of health
education action and identify emerging priorities for future research.
We have created several
videos to explain how to use the SKC. I’ve
put the first of them here, but you can find the remainder on the site
itself. I invite you to visit the SKC
and explore.

I look forward to your
comments and feedback.
