AAEBI Evaluation Overview
The purpose of the Arthritis-Appropriate, Evidence-Based Intervention (AAEBI) Evaluation Process is to review the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s published process for program evaluation, update the process as needed, and employ the process to screen promising intervention programs for elevation to recognized interventions that are proven to improve the quality of life of people with arthritis. Learn more about the AAEBI program review process and criteria here.
Programs were evaluated by a national group of reviewers with extensive expertise in arthritis research, AAEBIs, program evaluation, and program implementation. This activity was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $461,914 with 100 percent funded by CDC/HHS. The contents are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement by, CDC/HHS, or the U.S. Government.
