“…The Guide to Community Preventive Services (hereafter called the Guide) is an initiative of the US Department of Health and Human Services and is being developed by a 15-member, independent, nonfederal Task Force on Community Preventive Services (hereafter called the Task Force) in cooperation with many public and private sector partners (18). The Task Force is supported by staff of the CDC and others who are developing, disseminating, and implementing the Guide.…”

This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of population-based interventions to improve vaccination coverage. The paper 1) presents a framework for evaluating interventions to improve vaccination coverage, 2) describes selected strategies for improving coverage, and 3) systematically reviews available information on the effectiveness of these strategies in improving vaccination coverage and other outcomes to assess their effectiveness.

“…The Guide's methods for systematic reviews and linking evidence to recommendations will be described in detail elsewhere (1, American Journal of Preventive Medicine) but are described briefly in this report. In the Guide, evidence is summarized regarding a) the effectiveness of interventions; b) the applicability of effectiveness data (i.e., the extent to which available effectiveness data might apply to other populations and settings); c) other positive or negative effects of the intervention, including positive or negative health and nonhealth outcomes; d) economic consequences; and e) barriers to implementation of interventions (3 ). For each Guide chapter, multidisciplinary chapter development teams conduct reviews by…”

The delivery and acceptance of recommended vaccinations is an ongoing challenge for health-care providers and health-care and public health systems, but specific interventions can increase levels of vaccination coverage. The Task Force on Community Preventive Services has conducted systematic reviews of 17 interventions designed to raise vaccination coverage levels in children, adolescents, and adults and made recommendations regarding the use of those interventions. This report provides a summary of the recommendations; informs readers of sources from which they can obtain the full review of the interventions and more detail regarding the application of the interventions at the local level; and informs readers regarding other work of the Task Force. BACKGROUND Despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines and substantial progress in reducing vaccine-preventable diseases, the delivery to and acceptance of vaccinations by targeted populations are essential to further reducing and eliminating vaccine-preventable causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States (1). The growing numbers of vaccines and complexity of vaccination schedules make delivering appropriate vaccinations in a timely manner increasingly difficult for health-care providers and health-care and public health systems (2). The recommendations included in this report are intended to guide communities in achieving or maintaining high levels of vaccination coverage and low rates of vaccine-preventable diseases.

“…This approach to evaluation design, however, runs counter to the current trend within medical science, where the rules of evidence of method is established by a set of objective criteria independent of the evaluation question (Pappaioanou & Evans, 1998) resulting in a methodological hierarchy, at the top of which lies the experimental method and randomized controlled trial. As McQueen & Anderson (2001) point out, the rules of evidence of health promotion have yet to be established.…”

AB S T R A C T Appropriateness depends on an alignment of evaluation practice with the tenets of contemporary health promotion, including the notions of participation, community control and respect for people not as unthinking objects of research but as partners in knowledge development. In de ning appropriateness three issues lie at the heart of the debate: what is being evaluated (the nature of health promotion programmes), appropriate for whom (who should gain from an evaluation) and appropriate for what (an issue relating to the evaluation question and the most appropriate design). The rules of evidence, paradigms and theories that inform health promotion as praxis go beyond narrow concerns of linear causality to wider issues of synergy, system variables and observation. This means characterizing health promotion programmes and policies as social reform or a process of change rather than a 'dose' or ' treatment'. Action research and particularly participatory action research approaches, which give primacy to learning over proving, lie at the heart of health-promotion evaluation.
