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.
