HR 10071 United States House · 118th Congress

Evidence-Informed Health Promotion Act

This bill amends the Older Americans Act to require that health promotion and disease prevention services for older adults be "evidence-informed" where applicable. It updates specific sections to mandate that programs use practices likely to improve health outcomes, rather than relying solely on evidence-based approaches. The changes directly affect existing services funded under the Older Americans Act, including falls prevention, chronic disease management, and general health promotion programs. The bill does not create new programs but ensures current services are evaluated using the best available evidence.
