The INFO Project's Best Practices Signpost provides annotated links to websites and online publications with information on best practices - as well as good practices, promising practices, lessons learned, and evidence-based medicine - in family planning and reproductive health. It also contains resources about how to define best practices, examples of tools that exemplify effective practices (for example checklists to use in screening clients), and links to web sites and other resources that discuss the issues related to defining and measuring effective practices. INFO does not evaluate each individual item based on any preset criteria. Rather we look for resources that pull together the experiences of a project over time, provide lessons learned, or present standards or guidelines for future projects.
The Best Practices Signpost is regularly updated by the INFO Project at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs.
