Project Description: The five goals of this cooperative agreement are to: 1) strengthen the capacity of state Title V programs to improve the health outcomes and eliminate health disparities for the nation’s women, children, youth, children with special health care needs, and families across the life span; 2) strengthen the AMCHP organizational network for MCH systems; 3) promote a collaborative national agenda for MCH; 4) address existing and emerging MCH issues; and 5) strengthen MCH leadership at national, state and territorial levels. The goals of the assessment plan are: 1) Assure quality programs and products for its members; 2) Help achieve its new 5-year strategic plan; 3) Meet deliverable requirements under the new, 5-year cooperative agreement from MCHB; and 4) Improve the performance and administration of the organization. Based on a Participatory Research and Evaluation (PRE) approach, the assessment implementation methodology will involve the development of a cooperative working partnership between the AMCHP staff and advisors and the assessment team. Both performance monitoring and process evaluation methods will be used to assess key indicators and outcomes linked to both the project’s goals and the assessment tasks.
