>> I think of communities of
practice as a group of folks
who are, you know, interested
in the same issues or topics,
who have come together to
create a learning community
where it's not necessarily
driven by anything other
than the desire to go deeper
about a particular topic,
or to understand something
together on this - on a journey.

>> Overview of Experiential
Evidence:
Experiential evidence provides a
nuanced, distinctive perspective
to the decision making
process and provides guidance
in the form of real-world
experience with the stakeholders
and the setting for choosing
and implementing a
prevention strategy.
Experiential evidence works
with the best available
research evidence
on effective prevention
strategies
and contextual evidence
regarding the local setting
to strengthen the possibility
for a prevention strategy's
successful implementation.
