How does the Evaluation Guidance relate to evaluation of the whole health department?
Technical assistance channeled through project officers can put health departments in touch with other jurisdictions that have developed software to collect and/or aggregate data from their grantees (CBOs). CDC has plans to develop software that health departments can use to report aggregated data to CDC. In addition, CDC has developed a website that contains the Evaluation Guidance (Volumes 1 and 2) and other materials on evaluation. Health departments can download forms from the Evaluation Guidance to record the data asked for in the Guidance.
