University of North Carolina: Cervical Cancer-Free America Evidence-Based Interventions: Building Capacity Among UNC Project Cervical Cancer-Free America Hannah Baker, M.P.H. Project Coordinator University of North Carolina: Cervical Cancer Free America hmbaker2@unc.edu

Slide 12

Successes Held 3 web-based workshops to share evidence-based interventions (EBIs), attendance high at each Great discussion regarding EBIs and cervical cancer prevention Enthusiasm among State Partners about EBIs and evaluation methods Lessons shared amongst State Partners about evaluation design and best practices Increased intentions to implement EBIs among State Partners

Slide 13

Challenges Scheduling: 26 individuals from 8 different states to attend the same meeting Scheduled meeting had to fit for presenter as well Response rates for pre- and post-workshop surveys State Partners commitment to implement presented EBIs without specified funding

Slide 14

Lessons Learned/Best Practices Doodle poll for scheduling meeting one month in advance Provide time during the workshop for pre/post- workshop survey Provide more time for discussion Get face validity of pre/post measures from presenter prior to disseminating survey

Slide 15

Evaluation/Measurable Outcomes Target Method of Measurement Actual 100% representation of CCFA State partners at web-based workshop Attendance records from workshop 1 st : 75% representation 2 nd : 75% representation 3 rd : 88% representation High satisfaction with delivery methods Satisfaction items on post- evaluation survey Reached 100% response rate to pre- and post-test surveys Existence of surveys from all CCFA partner attendees 1 st : pre=100%, post=73% 2 nd : pre=20%, post=n/a 3 rd : pre=69%, post=50% Increased knowledge of 3 evidence-based strategies Pre- and post-test surveyReached Increased intent to implement an evidence-based strategy Pre- and post-test surveyReached

Slide 16

Closing Continue bi-monthly workshops, sharing evidence-based strategies Assist State Partners in continuing with their plans for implementing evidence-based strategies Assist State Partners in searching for funding opportunities

Marshall County Health Department Increasing the HPV Vaccination Rate in Marshall County, Kentucky Wendy Rose Laboratory Director Marshall County Health Department WendyD.Rose@ky.gov

Slide 18

Background Marshall County has a population ~31,448. Demographically most residents are Caucasian and of moderate-socio economic status. 27.8% of the population is

Successes 43 people have completed the series 50 new patients have initiated the series. 13 High School aged, 29 6 th grade aged and 8 >18 years ~400 9 th grade students were reached during the Reducing the Risk Classes ~350 incoming 6 th grade students received HPV vaccine information

Slide 20

Challenges Initial Data Retrieval for baseline Mail/Telephone Outreach Incorrect number Incorrect addresses Disconnected numbers No return call when message left Vaccine questionnaire Voluntary response Lack of incentive to client Demographic Some have moved Receive services elsewhere

Slide 21

Lesson Learned/Best Practices Be very specific in data requests for initial baseline Incomplete contact data for patients address, phone Rate of voluntary survey completion is not high Not able to capture entire countys HPV vaccination data

Slide 22

Evaluation/Measureable Outcomes Able to calculate a new completion rate Can draw a loose connection among the ages of those initiating the vaccine and outreach efforts of the Health Department If the return rate of completed surveys was higher, future outreach efforts could be guided by the response from those surveys

Slide 23

Closing Next Steps Health Department personnel will come together to discuss what, if any, components of this project will be continued Could continue to follow-up with persons who have started the series Continue outreach efforts in the schools same as this year or change the approach Come up with other ways to inform citizens regarding HPV
