Att 14 - Candidate Communities

Case Studies of Selected Communities and States Funded under Community Activities under the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) Initiative

RTI Recommendations for Site Selection

October 1, 2010

Intensive case studies will be conducted with 21 CPPW sites (six states and 15 communities) and three Affordable Care Act communities. In selecting candidate sites for CDC consideration, RTI aimed to reflect a mix of awardee characteristics related to several key dimensions:

• Program focus

• Experience with similar policy, systems, and environmental change efforts

• Award type

• Geographic region

• Participation in the Biometric Supplement

The cases selected should represent the following:

CPPW Communities = 16

CPPW States = 6 (Minnesota, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Oregon, New York, Mississippi)

Affordable Care Act Communities = 3

Based upon a review of awardees’ distribution across these selection criteria, RTI presents the following CPPW communities as recommendations for consideration for inclusion in the CPPW Case Study Evaluation.

CPPW States and Related Communities

Six States were suggested for inclusion by OSH and DNPAO. Those states are included in Table 1. We suggest including one CPPW community in each selected state; this will enable us to examine synergies between state and community efforts. We would like the CPPW Team at CDC to provide guidance on which communities should be selected for Minnesota, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Oregon and New York currently have one CPPW community in each state and Mississippi does not have a CPPW community. If this approach is utilized, five of our 16 CPPW community case study sites will be selected from this subset.

Table 1 also includes 12 additional candidate communities. These were selected to capture the full range of key characteristics listed above. Including communities that are undertaking biometric studies will create opportunities to interpret those findings in the context of the overall case study findings.

Affordable Care Act Sites (Pick up to 3)

Up to three Affordable Care Act sites can be selected for inclusion in the case study. When considering North Carolina and Arkansas, note that all four sites are presented but only one from each state should be selected for inclusion in the case study.
