Challenges and Lessons Learned Conducting a Formative Evaluation of a Multicomponent Care Delivery Intervention
Formative evaluation provides stakeholders with timely feedback to support an intervention's improvement during implementation to maximize its effectiveness. We describe the qualitative methods that guided one study within a formative evaluation of a multicomponent care delivery intervention. We then describe the challenges and lessons learned that emerged from this study, organizing them by the study's four overarching challenges: (1) addressing…
What Factors Influence States’ Capacity to Report Children’s Health Care Quality Measures? A Multiple-Case Study
Community Building for Children's Health
This article describes Community Partnerships for Healthy Children (CPHC), a 10-year, $17 million initiative of the Sierra Health Foundation targeted at improving children’s health in northern California by mobilizing communities to use their assets. Implementation grants were modest ($50,000 annually), but technical assistance and communications support were also provided
Promoting Environmental Justice Through Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) increasingly is being used to study and address environmental justice. This article presents the results of a cross-site case study of four CBPR partnerships in the United States that researched environmental health problems and worked to educate legislators and promote relevant public policy. The authors focus on community and partnership capacity within and across sites, using as a theoretical frame…
Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Shape Policy and Prevent Lead Exposure Among Native American Children
Using a CBPR approach that incorporated Native American social networks, TEAL played a major role in placing and maintaining lead poisoning on the policy agenda and in encouraging the local County Health Department and IHS to fully implement blood lead screening and parental notification for young children
Community-Based Participatory Research as a Tool for Policy Change
In 2000, a regional rule governing maximum individual cancer risk from stationary facilities in Southern California was dramatically altered, reducing allowable risk levels by 75%. This article uses a case study approach to explore the role of a community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership, the Southern California Environmental Justice Collaborative, in producing research and helping spearhead policy advocacy leading to this policy c…
The Potential of Social Capital Measures in the Evaluation of Comprehensive Community-Based Health Initiatives
Determining the effectiveness of comprehensive community initiatives (CCIs) poses measurement challenges for evaluators and communities, especially those attempting to employ participatory evaluation. In light of the growing body of research documenting, a relationship between social capital and health, this paper suggests, first, that evaluators should consider social capital as one of the major influences in health and well-being and, second, t…
