A evaluation model was tested for integrating county-level health, financial, organizational, and market factor data to examine how changes in organizational and financial structures in California’s 61 local health departments (LHDs) affect policies, programs and health outcomes in older adults. Cross-sectional data from four reliable secondary sources were integrated and supplemented with primary data obtained from online surveys of key informants located within each of California’s LHD and within each Area Agency on Aging (AAA). The primary survey instrument was uniquely designed to concurrently capture policy, program, and partnership activities from the local public health agency and AAA within the same jurisdiction. This unique evaluation approach was successful and the results will help LHDs and their community partners identify organizational characteristics and partnerships that can be adopted to achieve greater public health benefits for seniors in their jurisdictions. #SystemsinEvaluation #GovernmentEvaluation #HealthEvaluation #QuantitativeMethods-TheoryandDesign #Instruments #HowTo #2012Conference
