Here is an example to work through. The linked source explains the idea or guest account. The next move is ICM guidance.
- Where it shows up
- A city calls any street outreach effort a copy of 414LIFE.
- A useful move
- Look at how the Milwaukee program describes its outreach and hospital connections, then map the staffing, partner duties, and follow-up a local effort would need.
- What this does not prove
- A shared credible-messenger label does not establish the same model, fidelity, or results.
