Abstract: HRSA/MCHB seeks to conduct a mixed-methods evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the Healthy Start program on individual, organizational, and community-level outcomes. The information collected will be used to obtain consistent information across all grantees about Healthy Start (HS) and its outcomes and in-depth information for 15 HS communities and 15 comparison communities to support a rigorous evaluation design. Respondents include pregnant women and women of reproductive age that were served by HS, HS staff and select HS partners.

Short Statement: This is a revision to the existing data collection activity for Healthy Start. The purpose of the changes/adjustments was to decrease burden, standardize data collection, and capture individual level data. These changes will improve the quality of data that can be used to monitor and assess the association between program components and outcomes. The National Healthy Start Program Survey was modified to decrease the amount of time it takes grantees to complete the survey and to improve question clarity. The 3Ps form was developed to capture individual-level or program participant information that will allow grantees to perform real-time internal analysis and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Division of Healthy Start Program Services (DHSPS) to pool data and get a snapshot of implementation and outcomes at both the national and project levels. The Healthy Start Community Action Network (CAN) Survey was developed and designed to collect data needed to accurately measure the size and strength of the organizational networks in the Healthy Start community. In turn, this will provide important information on the extent to which Healthy Start and other community organizations are working together to achieve common goals.
