Then the community guide can help you understand the evidence of what's likely to work. Because if you think about the kinds of interventions we're talking about, We want to help communities save time and resources tackling the literature, right? Because these are a broad range of health challenges, obesity, mental health, smoking cessation, HIV prevention, anti-bullying, just as examples.

And those studies can be in the medical literature, the public health literature, the social sciences literature. It's vast. So the community guide is there to help go systematically through the evidence and present it to your community organizations and let them decide where they want to start, but help filter the ways in which they might start.

Another really neat feature, I think, of the community guide is the section on implementation considerations. And I think that's really rather unique, which is to say, we'll have a recommendation, and then we'll have the implementation considerations around it, such as what? Hmm. then we'll have recommendations or just information about implementation considerations.

And those aren't necessarily, they can be from the studies we looked at. They can also be from talking to experts. They can be looking at the broader literature. And it's to help you figure out what you might encounter or what we do or don't know about this intervention that might impact your community.

It also comes in one-pagers. It comes in multiple pages. I think it's really a matter of engaging with the website.

I think your question makes a lot of sense. And I think the community guide addresses a piece of it. So for... When we do an evidence review, we follow it with an economic review.

So in the case of the costs and benefits of parks, trailways, and greenway infrastructure interventions, the community guide also found, we studied the economic costs and benefits of those interventions, and we found that the cost ratio was three to one, meaning every dollar you spent led to $3.10 worth of health benefits or benefits in total.

So we do those economic analyses of the cost benefit, the cost effectiveness of the interventions, and then we have the implementation considerations. So in the example of cognitive behavioral therapy programs in schools, you might want to think about confidentiality, the role of parents. Do you have professional mental health professionals on staff in your schools. And those are all fleshed out.

That said, we don't rank them based on those implementation considerations. We do in the prioritization talk, speak to Okay, I'm going to just back up and cut that. Just drop that thought.

Yes, there is. So I have two answers for that. One is if it's listed as an evidence gap, what we're basically saying is there aren't studies and you can stop there. We've looked for you. Or you can look at frequently a breakdown that we do is... urban, suburban, rural, very often. And you'll see kind of the table and you can just pull out those studies.
