Evaluation of an evidence-based program planning system

描述（由申请人提供）： 背景虽然关于传播循证社区卫生干预措施的必要性几乎没有辩论，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方式利用这些干预措施所需的信息，提出了一系列挑战。虽然目前正在努力开发一个循证干预系统，干预密苏里州信息社区评估（干预云母），它是至关重要的，有预期的用户评估和测试这个系统的实用性和易用性。具体目标。对干预性云母的拟议评价旨在与公共卫生从业人员一起对原型进行试点测试，并进行预测试，以获得对内容和格式的效用和吸引力的总体印象。研究结果将根据原型在实地的具体应用以及所确定的优点和缺点提出改进干预性云母的建议。方法.评估和测试期的第一阶段将包括一个试点测试，以获得公共卫生从业人员对他们使用干预云母的经验的深入的定量和定性反馈。第二阶段将与更广泛的个人群体对原型进行预测试-具有循证公共卫生经验的公共卫生从业人员，没有循证公共卫生经验的公共卫生从业人员和参加公共壁炉硕士学位课程的学生。将分析从这两个阶段收集的定量和定性数据，并随后对系统进行修改。创新干预云母是第一个以国家为基础的技术转让系统，它整合了方案规划的组成部分，通过确定健康状况、风险因素和预防筛查指标的优先次序确定社区需求，以及用于干预发展、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.
