This information collection request
(ICR) is to gain three-year approval to follow alumni career
progression following participation in the Public Health Associate
Program (PHAP). Information will be used to answer key program
assessment questions, specifically to inform program improvements
and document evidence of outcomes and impact to inform future
decision making. The method that will be used to collect data will
be through an online assessment. The subpopulation to be studied is
PHAP Host Site Supervisors and PHAP Alumni. The revision includes
the following adjustments: 1) Expansion from one data collection
instrument to two, both of which will inform improvements to the
Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) and document evidence of
quality and value. 2) Name change to reflect this adjustment from
“Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) Alumni Assessment” to
“Public Health Associate Program (PHAP): Assessment of Quality and
Value.”
