The Evidence-Informed Health Promotion Act amends the Older Americans Act to require the Assistant Secretary for Aging to provide states, area agencies on aging, and service providers with information and technical assistance about evidence-informed health practices that can improve outcomes for older adults. The bill expands the types of health interventions that can be supported under aging programs to include evidence-informed practices alongside traditional evidence-based services, particularly in disease prevention, health promotion, falls prevention, and chronic disease self-management education. This legislation affects older Americans and the network of organizations that serve them, including state aging agencies and local service providers. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, instead modifying existing requirements within the Older Americans Act framework to broaden the range of health improvement strategies available to aging programs.
