CDC Effective Interventions case study

Effective Interventions.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sought to enhance its HIV prevention efforts by providing healthcare professionals and community-based organizations with easy access to evidence-based interventions. The goal was to transform a static, PDF-based repository into a dynamic, user-friendly digital platform that would facilitate the dissemination and implementation of effective HIV prevention strategies nationwide.

Mobomo + CDC Effective Interventions

At a glance.

How Mobomo and CDC worked together.
  • Modernized the CDC Effective Interventions platform, transitioning from a static, PDF based repository to a dynamic, user friendly digital experience.

the challenge

Modernizing HIV prevention resources.

The CDC needed to improve how healthcare professionals and community based organizations discover, evaluate, and implement evidence based HIV prevention interventions. The existing platform relied heavily on static PDFs, making it difficult for users to quickly locate relevant resources or tailor interventions to specific populations and settings. With a large, content rich repository and a diverse national audience, the challenge extended beyond visual redesign to improving usability, accessibility, and content discoverability while supporting ongoing updates and long term sustainability.

Meaningful impact

Why it matters.

Effective HIV prevention depends on timely access to clear, evidence-based interventions that can be implemented in real-world settings. By transforming a static repository into a dynamic, accessible digital platform, CDC Effective Interventions enables healthcare professionals and community organizations to quickly identify, evaluate, and apply proven strategies that support public health outcomes nationwide.

Improving access to interventions

Healthcare providers and community-based organizations can efficiently locate interventions tailored to specific populations, settings, and prevention goals, reducing barriers to adoption and increasing practical use in the field.

Reducing time to action

Advanced search, filtering, and structured content significantly reduce the time and effort required to find and implement effective HIV prevention strategies, allowing practitioners to focus on delivery rather than discovery.

Supporting national HIV prevention goals

By making validated interventions easier to access and apply, the platform directly supports the CDC’s mission to reduce new HIV infections, strengthen prevention programs, and improve health outcomes across diverse communities.

Mobomo partnered closely with CDC stakeholders throughout design and review, incorporating feedback at each stage to refine the platform. This collaborative approach supported a smooth transition from concept to build while keeping user needs and program goals aligned.
