The MIPH works to bridge public health research and practice in collaboration with many audiences. All of our work is based on the most current evidence of effectiveness available and our belief that public health programs and services must be culturally appropriate for the communities we serve. Our work is grounded in existing evidence, yet we consistently strive to offer innovative products and services to meet emerging needs and conditions.

As you review our services and our topic focus areas, please know that all of our efforts are customized to the audiences we serve and emphasize practical and useful solutions for our clients.

Evaluation Services

Improve Your Programming

Community Readiness Survey

Resident Attitudes and Community Norms

Is your community aware of its alcohol, tobacco, other drug use and problem gambling issues? Are residents ready to work together to prevent these problems among youth? The Minnesota Institute of Public Health's Community Readiness Survey Service helps you understand adult attitudes regarding alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and problem gambling in your community.

Product Development

Creating and Adapting Materials

MIPH develops, promotes, and sells MIPH products and services through the process of strategy, concept generation, testing, product and marketing plan creation and distribution.

Training

Building Capacity

The Minnesota Institute of Public Health (MIPH) provides training services to clients and communities to build capacity to move effective prevention into practice. Our training services provide answers to questions and allow individuals to be introduced to resources and services that will assist in making the most effective use of their skills and programs.

Technical Assistance

Sharing Expertise

What is Technical Assistance (TA)? The short answer: TA is help. Think of it this way: you are the first part of that Home Depot© slogan and MIPH can be the complementary second part. “You can do it. We can help.”
