It provides grants for education and activities that support healthy lifestyles and behaviors for those 60 and older. In 2012, Congress mandated that Title IIID funding be used only for programs and activities that have been demonstrated to be evidence - based. Evidence - based Health Programs are those which have been developed, researched, and rigorously tested in order to yield consistent, desired results. They help reduce the need for costly medical interventions and enable older adults to live independently longer. Funding support is provided to states under Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Services (Title IIID), to empower older adults to take control of their health. Through these programs, seniors learn to maintain a healthy lifestyle through increased self - efficiency and self- management behaviors. Classes are provided to older adults in their own communities, in familiar non - clinical settings, such as senior centers, community partners centers (such as the Family Y), and in peer learning groups which provide support, socialization and reinforcement of positive behavior changes. In keeping with the directive to promote and implement Evidence Based Health Promotion (EBHP) Programs in the North Carolina aging network, the following funding will be distributed per the intrastate funding formula to Lead - agencies within Region O. Title IIID standards beginning in SFY 2016/2017 changed to meet the federal requirements that only evidence -based programs meeting the highest tier criteria shall be offered and supported with Title IIID funds.
