This 30-minute quick learn course was created by AMCHP staff Laura Powis who completed the CDC E-Learning Institute Fellowship. As a part of this six-month fellowship, Laura created a course on “Shifting Power in Practice: Strategies for Centering People with Lived Experience When Making Evidence-Based Decisions” using best practices in e-learning, adult learning theory, and instructional design. This course is primarily designed for Title V professionals but is also relevant for local MCH professionals and advocates invested in improving maternal and child health outcomes.

- Apply the Six Considerations Planning Tool to a case study to ensure people with lived experience are centered during the evidence-based decision-making process.
