Taking a Look at the History of Cancer Control in

Wyoming Inadequate infrastructure for cancer control;

Limited resources for cancer patients, families, and caregivers;

Limited data use in decision-making;

Lack of coordination among cancer control efforts;

Heavy and unequal cancer burden among underserved populations;

Insufficient information about effective programs and services.

As part of Wyoming’s evaluation plan, contextual factors, such as environment or organizational design, must also be evaluated in order to obtain data relating to the program’s success based on factors that may impede or facilitate ongoing decision-making or priority setting.

Example IExample I

Each year, a WCCCC evaluation is completed. This evaluation depicts each partner organization’s satisfaction with:

1. Partnership diversity and structure;2. Partnership climate;3. Meeting frequency and logistics;4. Support by the WDH Comp Cancer Program;

and5. Leadership vision, competence, and

opportunities.* This evaluation also offers opportunities to

become involved with specific activities/ strategies tied to the 2006-2010 Wyoming Cancer Control Plan

Implementation Evaluation

As part of Phase II: Implementation for the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program Award, the WCCCP will also monitor outcomes being met as a result of the strategies tied within the 2006-2010 Wyoming Cancer Control Plan. The WCCCP, in conjunction with the CCC Steering Committee, and the CCC Data Committee, will be monitoring plan goals, objectives, and strategies for program accomplishments, weaknesses, and modifications.

Outcome EvaluationOutcome Evaluation

The outcome evaluation component is probably the most crucial information we will receive. The information will tell us how well we are doing at decreasing the impact of cancer on Wyoming and promote data driven decision-making as we move forward with CCC efforts in Wyoming.

Concluding ThoughtsConcluding Thoughts

2007 Wyoming Cancer Control Plan Evaluation Report

Evaluation efforts may change as the priority needs of Wyoming change, however; this evaluation concept will remain similar;

A decrease in cancer rates will show change, but the true change occurs in the Quality of Life of those who are impacted by cancer.
