Frequently Asked Questions

The Child Health Evidence Hub is a comprehensive platform that curates and presents evidence-based programs, services, and resources focused on child health and development during the critical first 1000 and 2000 days of life.

This evidence hub is designed for researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, policymakers, and program implementers who work with young children and caregivers. It provides evidence-based information to support decision-making and program development.

Use the search bar on the EVidence Hub page to find specific programs or topics. You can also filter results by life stage, population, topics, and resource types using the filters on the left sidebar.

Evidence levels indicate the strength and quality of research supporting a program or intervention. Higher evidence levels (e.g., "Strong Evidence") mean the program has been rigorously evaluated with positive results, while lower levels may indicate emerging or theoretical support.

Outcomes show the impacts a program has demonstrated in research studies. Positive change indicates improvement in measured outcomes, no change means outcomes remained stable, and not assessed means the outcome was not measured in available studies.

All items included in the Child Health Evidence Hub are carefully reviewed and sourced from peer-reviewed research, government agencies, and reputable organizations. Each resource includes citations and links to original sources where available.

Stage of Lifecourse refers to broad developmental periods (First 1000 days: conception-2y, First 2000 days: conception-5y), while Population specifies more granular age groups (pregnancy, infant, toddler, preschooler) or caregiver focus.

Population Focus indicates whether a program is designed for universal implementation (all families) or targeted to specific populations such as low-income families, specific cultural groups, or other defined communities.

Simply select multiple options from different filter categories. The results will show resources that match ALL selected criteria. You can see your active filters above the results and remove individual filters by clicking the X icon.

Many resources include downloadable materials such as implementation guides, participant handouts, and evaluation tools. Look for the "Links & Downloads" tab on resource detail pages to access available files.

The evidence hub is regularly updated with new resources and the latest research evidence. Updates occur on an ongoing basis as new programs are reviewed and existing resources are re-evaluated.
