WYSAC is continuing this partnership by evaluating New Mexico’s work on the CDC grant Improving the Health of Americans through Prevention and Management of Diabetes and Heart Disease and Stroke (1815).

WYSAC provides overarching guidance and technical expertise to NMDoH in developing, implementing, and evaluating the 1305 and 1815 projects. Specifically, WYSAC develops logic models and evaluation plans, facilitates the use of data to improve programming, documents program implementation and successes, and facilitates sustainability planning. This project uses both quantitative and qualitative data to guide and measure project progress and outcomes.

WYSAC evaluated this CDC-funded work by creating annual evaluation plans, forming evaluation indicators for process and outcome measures, and writing extensive evaluation reports highlighting progress on the evaluation indicators. We also conducted annual partnership assessments to measure synergy in Wyoming.

Over the course of three reports, we used qualitative data to assess operational efficiencies and inefficiencies, to track changes over time, and to make recommendations on how to improve synergy. In the last year of 1305, WYSAC collected, analyzed, and interpreted data to compose all six health impact statements for Wyoming to submit to the CDC.
