Using Formative Evaluation and the CASPER Toolkit to Effectively Develop a Survey on the Physical, Social, and Mental Health of Renters in Bloomington, Minnesota
Description: This project involved the process of using formative evaluation and the Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) Toolkit to effectively develop a survey on the physical, social, and mental health of renters in Bloomington, Minnesota. The survey will be administered to randomly selected renters in the Bloomington community later in the year, after receiving final review of the materials and approval from the CDC. Materials were pre-tested by administering the survey to colleagues who are similar to the population that the survey will be administered to. Two rounds of expert reviews were completed to edit the survey for brevity and to ensure the questions produced the data needed to improve renters’ health. After each of the two rounds of evaluation, findings were presented to the research team at the Bloomington Public Health Division for additional edits. The next steps will include finalizing the materials after receiving feedback from the CDC, translating the materials, and eventually, administering the survey.

Using the L.I.F.E. Framework to Develop MCH Leaders in a LEND Program
Description: The Maternal Child Health (MCH) Bureau created MCH Leadership Competencies to support current and future leaders by defining the knowledge and skills necessary to lead in this field. The MI-LEND training program developed the “L.I.F.E. Framework”, an acronym that stands for Leadership, Interdisciplinary, Family-Professional Partnerships, and Equity. This was created to codify the 12 MCH leadership competencies into an easy to remember and easy to apply structure. This presentation examines the impact of the L.I.F.E. framework on MI-LEND trainee leadership development.

Assessing Title V Capacity for Health Equity Work in Minnesota
Description: Leadership and staff of the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant program at the Minnesota Department of Health are interested in assessing the capacity of the department to effectively implement and carry out health equity work. Two assessments have been conducted to measure this progress. This includes an analysis conducted by the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs’ (AMCHP) Healthy Beginnings team and a survey that was administered by the Minnesota Department of Health’s Child and Family Health Division (CFH) to all CFH staff. The results from these assessments have been used to identify the next steps that can be implemented to advance Minnesota’s health equity work.
