The Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse: Part II-Program evaluation.

This paper describes a program evaluation of the Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse (OPC). The results showed that information requests focused on person-centred primary prevention strategies aimed at children, adolescents, and families and adult health promotion. Moreover, service users were very satisfied with and were able to use the information provided to advance prevention programming in the province. The paper concludes with the recommendations made to the OPC advisory committee and staff and to its major funders about the future functioning of the OPC.
