Development of the Community Health Improvement Navigator Database of Interventions Brita Roy, MD; Joel Stanojevich, MPH; Paul Stange, MPH; et al. MMWR Suppl 2016;65(Supplement, No. 2):1–9 This report describes the development of the database of interventions  included in the Community Health Improvement Navigator, released by  CDC in 2015. The database allows the user to easily search for multisector,  collaborative, evidence-based interventions to address the underlying  causes of the greatest morbidity and mortality in the United States:  tobacco use and exposure, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, high  cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Hospital administrators  can use the CHI Navigator’s database of interventions to select and implement  evidence-based interventions that have been effective in similar communities  with similar collaborators to develop plans to address problems identified in  the triennial community health needs assessment, in alignment with the IRS requirements for tax-exempt status.
