Community health worker initiatives: An approach to design and measurement
Jayapaul-Philip B , Shantharam SS , Moeti R , Kumar GS , Barbero C , Rohan EA , Mensa-Wilmot Y , Soler R . J Public Health Manag Pract 2020 28 (2) E333-E339 CONTEXT: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports the engagement of community health workers (CHWs) to help vulnerable populations achieve optimum health through a variety of initiatives implemented in several organizational units. PROGRAM: This article provides a unified and comprehensive logic model for these initiatives that also serves as a common framework for monitoring and evaluation. IMPLEMENTATION: We developed a logic model to fully describe the levels of effort needed to effectively and sustainably engage CHWs. We mapped monitoring and evaluation metrics currently used by federally funded organizations to the logic model to assess the extent to which measurement and evaluation are aligned to programmatic efforts. EVALUATION: We found that the largest proportion of monitoring and evaluation metrics (61%) currently used maps to the "CHW intervention level" of the logic model, a smaller proportion (37%) maps to the "health system and community organizational level," and a minimal proportion (3%) to the "statewide infrastructure level." DISCUSSION: Organizations engaging CHWs can use the logic model to guide the design as well as performance measurement and evaluation of their CHW initiatives. |
Implementing key drivers for diabetes self-management education and support programs: Early outcomes, activities, facilitators, and barriers
Morgan JM , Mensa-Wilmot Y , Bowen SA , Murphy M , Bonner T , Rutledge S , Rutledge G . Prev Chronic Dis 2018 15 E15 Diabetes, a serious and costly condition, is characterized by illness and death from long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications (1). Additionally, numerous and well-known comorbidities can accompany diabetes, including cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, amputations, and nephropathy (1). Often these complications and comorbidities interfere with a person’s ability to self-manage their diabetes (2). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) projects that as many as 1 in 3 adults could have diabetes by 2050 (3). In 2012, the United States spent an estimated $245 billion on diabetes care, including $176 billion in direct medical costs and $69 billion in indirect costs from lost workdays, restricted activity, disability, and early death (4). Many costly complications among people with diabetes can be prevented or delayed with appropriate preventive care and self-management (5). |
Early results of states' efforts to support, scale, and sustain the National Diabetes Prevention Program
Mensa-Wilmot Y , Bowen SA , Rutledge S , Morgan JM , Bonner T , Farris K , Blacher R , Rutledge G . Prev Chronic Dis 2017 14 E130 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a cooperative agreement with health departments in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to strengthen chronic disease prevention and management efforts through the implementation of evidence-based strategies, such as CDC's National Diabetes Prevention Program. The National Diabetes Prevention Program supports organizations to deliver the year-long lifestyle change program that has been proven to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes among those at high risk. This article describes activities, barriers, and facilitators reported by funded states during the first 3 years (2013-2015) of a 5-year funding cycle. |
