These women are dealing with a number of issues
poverty, health problems, and addiction. We try
to be someone they can talk to about what theyre
struggling with.Carolyn Townsend,North
Carolina WISEWOMAN Director
38
New Leaf is a great tool. It helps us find out
if there are things going on in a womans life
that influence her smoking. Maybe shes worried
shell gain weight if she quits, or maybe shes
depressed, like Sally, and smoking helps her
forget about her problems for a few minutes.
Lori Green,Local WISEWOMAN Coordinator
39
WISEWOMAN Works has been used to promote womens
heart health in a number of ways.
  • Success stories can
  • Offer a low-cost way to document program success
  • Help programs gain support for successful
    activities
  • Inform others about successful program
    interventions
  • Acknowledge the innovative strategies used by
    program staff and partners

Lessons Learned From Phase 11995-1998
42
Three Original Projects
  • Arizona (AZ)
  • Massachusetts (MA)
  • North Carolina (NC)

43
Methods
  • Case study design
  • Document Reviews
  • Telephone Interviews
  • Identified cross-case lessons and themes
  • Summarized results

Key Features

Key Features (contd)
46
Key Features (contd)
47
RESULTS - REACH
  • NBCCEDP implementation stage affects WISEWOMAN
    recruitment
  • Multiple channels and personal contact are
    effective
  • Outreach into the community is important

48
RESULTS- REACH (contd)
  • Recruitment is enhanced when funds are designated
    for outreach
  • Program participation may be influenced by the
    types of no-cost services offered
  • Participation may be affected by general barriers
    and lifestyle behavior specific barriers

49
RESULTS- Effectiveness
  • Participant commitment is required
  • Agencies and professionals need individualized
    support

50
RESULTS- Adoption
  • WISEWOMAN focus on screening and intervention is
    labor intensive
  • Blending programs with different emphases and
    aims can be difficult - streamline WISEWOMAN to
    fit the NBCCEDP approach
  • Intervention should have a flexible design to
    accommodate individual, group or phone sessions

51
RESULTS- Implementation
  • Research
  • - can be overwhelming to service providers and
    agencies
  • is poorly understood by service providers
  • Limits program flexibility and imposes extra
    requirements
  • Requires commitment and adequate resources

52
RESULTS- Implementation (Contd)
  • Projects need a planning phase
  • Projects benefit from buy-in at all levels
  • Providers need appropriate onsite training
  • WISEWOMAN calls for changes in provider attitudes
    and behaviors

53
RESULTS- Maintenance
  • WISEWOMAN focus on screening and intervention is
    labor intensive

54
Topics
  • Overview of WISEWOMAN
  • Capturing Grassroots Success
  • Sharing Early Lessons Learned
  • Describing Best Practices
  • Conclusions

55
The WISEWOMAN Challenge
  • We model our WISEWOMAN interventions on clinical
    trials that demonstrate an intervention is
    efficacious
  • However, these interventions are studied in a
    rarified environment
  • What will it take to make these interventions
    work in busy, understaffed public health clinics,
    large health systems, or community settings?

56
Reach
  • Refers to the proportion and
    representativeness of the target population that
    participates in the program

57
Effectiveness
  • Refers to positive program outcomes minus
    negative program outcomes

58
Adoption
  • The Proportion and Representativeness of Settings
    That Adopt Given Policy or Program

59
Implementation
  • Refers to The Extent to Which a Program Is
    Delivered As Designed

60
Maintenance
  • Refers to The Extent to Which a Program Is
    Sustained Over Time

61
Combining The Components
62
Methods
  • Used RE-AIM framework to rank sites within one
    project
  • Developed a list of RE-AIM measures based on
    currently available data
  • WISEWOMAN MDEs (July 2001- June 2003)
  • BCCEDP MDEs (July 1999 June 2003)
  • Present results for 14 sites with gt100
    screenings

63
REACH
  • Number of screenings7/2001-6/2003
  • Number of first time screenings
  • BCCEDP screened
  • minority screened
  • attending one intervention
  • Rank each site highest to lowest
  • Calculate average ranking for each site and
    scale from 0-100

64
Sites Vary on Measures
65
REACH
66
EFFECTIVENESS
  • Average change in systolic BP
  • Average change in cholesterol
  • Average change in body weight
  • Average change in smoking rate
  • Rank each component highest to lowest
  • Calculate average ranking for each site
  • Scale rankings o-100

67
ADOPTION
  • Calculate minority in each BCCEDP county
  • Rank counties highest to lowest
  • Scale 0-100
  • Assign each WW site that score

68
IMPLEMENTATION
  • Average number intervention sessions
  • Re-screening rates
  • Rank highest to lowest
  • Calculate average ranking
  • Scale 0-100

69
MAINTENANCE
  • Calculate number of screenings for each 6 month
    period
  • Assess if screenings did not decrease by 5
    between periods, decreased by gt 5 over 2
    periods,gt 5 over 3 or more periods
  • Calculate change first to last period
  • Rank based on highest increase
  • Scale 0-100

Best Practices
Best practices are activities that
reliable evidence shows to be effective and
efficient for delivering WISEWOMAN services to
the target population of underserved women and
that support and follow from an articulated model
or theory. (Mays, Hesketh, Briefel, 2003).
From August 2002 meeting of WISEWOMAN
Consultant Group
73
  • Select projects and sites for case studies
  • Review project-specific documents
  • Telephone interviews, with program staff
  • Qualitative data collection Site visits,
    observations, focus groups

Site Visit Case Studies
74
Data Collection Tools
  • Semi-structured interview protocols for each type
    of respondent
  • Focus group protocols ( tape and transcribe)
  • Observation checklists
  • Templates for collecting and organizing project
    background information, interview results,
    observation notes

75
Data Analysis Goals
  • Describe projects at each stage of development
  • Categorize projects by service delivery type
  • Identify effective program practices for each
    RE-AIM component
  • Disseminate findings in accessible products

76
Presentation of Findings
  • Monograph
  • Manuscript
  • Toolkit

77
Topics
  • Overview of WISEWOMAN
  • Capturing Grassroots Success
  • Sharing Early Lessons Learned
  • Describing Best Practices
  • Conclusions

78
Conclusions
  • Broad evaluation framework needed
  • Look at success from a variety of perspectives
  • Full intervention attendance is a challenge
  • Adoption of WISEWOMAN is not easy in every
    setting
  • Comprehensive approach is a new way of thinking
    for many providers
  • Free services, flexible delivery of services, and
    incentives are important
  • Research is rarely appreciated in busy clinics
  • Learn from high performing sites
