Prevention through Design Program

Program Impact

NIOSH is strongly committed to program evaluation as a way to maximize its contributions to improved occupational safety and health. Regular review of program activities, outputs, and outcomes is essential to demonstrating program performance. The Prevention through Design program conducts reviews and shares program impact in a variety of ways.
