Session Description: Case Study Methods allow evaluators to approach program assessment from a powerful and flexible design palette. While often heavily steeped in the use of qualitative methods, case studies also may include the use of quantitative data

This session explores how case studies can be used to document the process and outcomes of community health initiatives to showcase the work being done in the community and serve as a model for others taking on similar work. Presenters will focus on three different case studies recently completed for the Minnesotaโs Statewide Health Improvement Program grant in rural Cottonwood, Jackson, Faribault, Martin and Watonwan Counties. The agency embarked on the case study process to document program successes and lessons learned, and to inform other agencies doing similar work across the nation. Case studies were completed for initiatives that aimed to create healthier worksites and increasing physical activity in schools. In this session, presenters will share why case studies were used and their experiences designing instruments, collecting data, and creating case study reports

Includes materials from both presentations. Case study method has enormous potential to inform evaluations of school- and district-based educational programs specifically, as the institution of public schools in the United States represents a unique and diverse structure that compels careful consideration of contextual limitations and opportunities. This session will draw on implementation studies of two school-based initiatives to illustrate how the choice and execution of case study method can enhance the rigor of education research, particularly in a climate of increasing accountability and pressure to produce improved academic outcomes. In this era of high stakes assessments and outcomes-focused research and policy, it is important not to lose sight of the contributions that in-depth implementation research can provide. Case study research is an important approach to capturing the contextual factors specific to implementation of educational programs, and thereby enhancing the applicability of findings from outcome evaluations

CTSAs are a prime example of a complex ecology. Case study methodologies (Yin and Stake) and the Success Case Method (Brinkerhoff) are key approaches to exploring in depth and detail how the CTSA infrastructure supports improvement in clinical and translational research. In particular, it offers opportunities to investigate the relationships necessary for researchers to achieve successful outcomes. Case studies are also flexible and responsive to changing needs of the evaluation. This presentation provides examples from the University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UIC CCTS) of how case studies are used to support tracking and evaluation activities

The report presents practical application of the methodology developed by Context, International Cooperation in evaluating the potential return on investment of advocacy programs through four case studies. The case studies take into account the potential impact over five years of the policies that were approved as a result of the advocacy campaign and investments that were made by funding agency including grants, technical assistance, level of effort of the staff of the agency, etc
