Regardless of which interventions are selected, the program should strive to: Use multiple interventions, such as combining a policy and a health benefit intervention, for a single health issue. Combinations are more effective than any one intervention alone Use interventions that address multiple health issues at the same time, which is more effective than addressing each single health issue separately Page last reviewed: December 8, 2015 Content source: Division of Population Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Get Email Updates To receive email updates about Workplace Health Promotion, enter your email address: Email Address What's this?
