As a result of efforts to assess how to make these rich bodies of knowledge most useful for those acting to change policies, implement programs, build infrastructure, establish connections, and allocate resources, we have concluded that standing alone, Pathways are unlikely to have significant impact.  We believe that to be used effectively, this information much become part of larger efforts in which change agents are able to tailor it to accomplish specific purposes.  We hope that making the Pathways available in electronic form will make it easier for others to adapt and make use of the information we have collected.

We welcome your comments and suggestions regarding both the content and utilization of these resources.  Please write us at hpoei@earthlink.net.
