Powis L. 2021. Evidence informed policy track overview: Sharing your policy work, building the MCH evidence-base. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 9 m 4 s.

Annotation: This video explains the Evidence and Inform Policy Track of the AMCHP MCH Innovations Database, a platform designed to share effective maternal and child health practices and policies. It describes how the database has expanded to include both "big P" and "little p" policies, with submissions evaluated along four dimensions: evidence, equity, relevance, and impact. The video outlines three designation categories—policy development, policy implementation, and policy evaluation—detailing the criteria for each, and provides practical examples to help users determine which track best suits their submission. Benefits of submitting to the database include sharing successes with peers, receiving national recognition, increasing credibility, documenting work, receiving expert feedback, and creating opportunities for technical assistance and future funding. The video concludes by previewing a forthcoming presentation from a state professional about their submission experience.
