Evidence snapshot for United States of America

The United States has implemented several evidence-based interventions addressing workforce development, pay equity, violence prevention, and crisis support for vulnerable populations. Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act received 1,747 pay-discrimination complaints by October 2024, while work2future served 4,158 participants and placed 758 into employment in 2022, with affiliated programs like PG&E PowerPathway achieving ~84% hiring rates. Coaching Boys Into Men prevented an estimated 85 dating-abuse incidents per 1,000 high-school athletes over 12 months, and The Trevor Project handled over 450,000 crisis contacts for LGBTQ+ youth in FY2024, though it faced significant funding cuts in 2025. The evidence shows operational scale and measurable outcomes, though sustainability challenges are evident.
