Evaluation of an evidence-based program planning system

描述(由申请人提供)： 背景资料。虽然几乎没有关于是否需要传播循证社区卫生干预措施的辩论，但为地方、区域和州各级的关键人员提供以系统和方便用户的形式利用这些干预措施所需的信息带来了许多挑战。尽管目前正在努力开发一个基于证据的干预系统--干预密苏里州信息社区评估(Interaction MICA)，但最重要的是让预期用户评估和测试该系统的实用性和导航方便性。明确的目标。拟议的干预MICA评估旨在与公共卫生从业者试行原型，并进行预测试，以获取对内容和格式的效用和吸引力的总体印象。结果将根据原型在实地的具体应用以及确定的优势和弱点，为改进干预措施MICA提出建议。方法：研究方法。评估和测试期的第一阶段将包括一项试点测试，以从公共卫生从业者那里获得关于他们使用干预MICA的经验的深入的定量和定性反馈。第二阶段将在更广泛的个人群体中预先测试原型-具有循证公共卫生经验的公共卫生从业者，没有循证公共卫生经验的公共卫生从业者，以及注册公共壁炉硕士学位课程的学生。将对从两个阶段收集的定量和定性数据进行分析，并随后对系统进行修改。创新。干预MICA是第一个以州为基础的技术转让系统，它整合了项目规划、通过确定健康状况、风险因素和预防性筛查指标的优先顺序来确定社区需求的组成部分，以及用于干预开发、实施指南和评估的信息资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Background. While little debate exists regarding the need for dissemination of evidence-based community health interventions, providing key personnel at the local, regional and state levels with access to the information necessary to utilize these interventions in a systematic and user-friendly format presents a host of challenges. Although efforts are currently underway to develop an evidence-based intervention system, Intervention Missouri Information Community Assessment (Intervention MICA), it is paramount to have intended users evaluate and test this system for practicability and ease of navigation. Specific Aims. The proposed evaluation of the Intervention MICA is designed to pilot test the prototype with public health practitioners and to conduct pre-testing to capture overall impressions of the utility and appeal of the content and format. Results will yield recommendations for improving Intervention MICA based on specific applications of the prototype in the field as well as strengths and weaknesses identified. Methods. The first phase of the evaluation and testing period will involve a pilot test to obtain in-depth quantitative and qualitative feedback from public health practitioners about their experience using Intervention MICA. The second phase will pre-test the prototype with a broader group of individuals - public health practitioners with experience in evidence-based public health, public health practitioners with no experience in evidencebased public health and students enrolled in a public hearth Master's degree program. Quantitative and qualitative data gathered from both phases will be analyzed and subsequent changes to the system will be made. Innovation. Intervention MICA is the first state-based technology transfer system of its kind to integrate the components of program planning, community needs identification through prioritization of health status, risk factors and preventive screening indicators and informational resources for intervention development, implementation guides and evaluation.
