MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) is a framework that can be used to plan and evaluate public health interventions in a community. Both seasoned and new public health professionals can utilize the steps in MAP-IT to create a healthy community. This process involves time, effort, and a series of steps to map out the path toward the desired change in a community. Keep in mind that there is no right way to follow this approach, and some of the steps will need to be taken multiple times. Using MAP-IT, a step-by-step, structured plan can be developed by a coalition that is tailored to a specific communitys needs.
Mobilize individuals and organizations that care about the health of your community into a coalition.
Assess the areas of greatest need in your community, as well as the resources and other strengths that you can tap into to address those areas.
Plan your approach: start with a vision of where you want to be as a community; then add strategies and action steps to help you achieve that vision.
Implement your plan using concrete action steps that can be monitored and will make a difference.
