S 4575 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Evidence-Informed Health Promotion Act

S 4575, the Evidence-Informed Health Promotion Act, amends the Older Americans Act to require that health promotion programs for older adults consider evidence-informed practices - meaning methods supported by research to improve health outcomes. It updates existing provisions to include "evidence-informed practices" alongside current standards in services, disease prevention, and falls prevention programs. This change directly affects older Americans receiving services under the Older Americans Act by directing federal agencies to prioritize research-backed approaches when designing and delivering health programs. The bill does not create new programs but modifies how existing services must be evaluated and implemented.
