Powis L. . 2022. Shifting Power in Practice: Strategies for Centering People with Lived Experience When Making Evidence-Based Decisions. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 30 m.

Annotation: This 30-minute quick learn course, "Shifting Power in Practice: Strategies for Centering People with Lived Experience When Making Evidence-Based Decisions," was developed by AMCHP staff member Laura Powis as part of her CDC E-Learning Institute Fellowship. Grounded in best practices of e-learning, adult learning theory, and instructional design, the course helps participants understand the integration of contextual, experiential, and research evidence when evaluating practice effectiveness and appropriateness for specific populations. While primarily designed for Title V professionals, the content is equally valuable for local MCH professionals and advocates working to improve maternal and child health outcomes. The course strengthens critical thinking skills for comprehensive evidence consideration through an equity lens and introduces a practical Six Considerations Planning Tool that participants apply to a case study, ensuring people with lived experience remain central to evidence-based decision-making processes. The course is accessible through a free CDC TRAIN account, reflecting AMCHP's commitment to developing capacity among MCH professionals to implement more inclusive and equitable approaches to program planning and evaluation.
