The Intervention Wheel - “The Intervention Wheel is a population-based practice model that encompasses three levels of practice (community, systems, and individual/family) and 17 public health interventions. Each intervention and practice level contributes to improving population health. The Intervention Wheel, previously known as the Public Health Intervention Model, was originally introduced in 1998 by the Minnesota Department of Health, Section of Public Health Nursing. The manual for using the Wheel is a 366 page pdf document titled "Public Health Interventions Applications for Public Health Nursing Practice" and is found here."
