Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the Women's
Health Leadership Institute Program.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Office on Women's Health (OWH) is requesting approval for new data
collection to assess the impact of the Women's Health Leadership
Institute (WHLI) program. The WHLI trained community health workers
(CHWs) to gain leadership skills and to use a public health systems
approach to address chronic disease and health disparities in their
communities. WHLI employed a train-the-trainers model (i.e.,
experienced personnel coach and mentor inexperienced instructors to
develop skills and knowledge needed to deliver the course), where
Master Trainers (MTs) learned to deliver the WHLI training curriculum
to CHWs. At the end of the program, CHWs received guidance on
developing Community Action Projects (CAPs) to implement systems-level
changes in their communities.
The evaluation will consist of both a process evaluation that
focuses on CHWs' satisfaction with the training and suggestions for
improvement, and an outcome evaluation that assesses (1) intermediate
outcomes including the sustainability of CHWs' leadership knowledge and
competencies, and the application of these competencies in leadership
activities and CAP development; and (2) long-term outcomes including
positive systemic and/or community level changes made around women's
health issues. Data from the study will enable OWH to understand what
components of the training were most successful and to identify aspects
of the training in need of improvement. Results will also help OWH with
planning and developing future training initiatives to promote
effective programs for women and girls.
