Proposed Project: Evaluation of the ACT (Adults and Children
Together) Against Violence Community Training Program--New--National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of the ACT Against Violence
Community Training Program is to make early violence prevention a
central and ongoing part of a community's violence prevention efforts.
The program involves a training curriculum developed by child
development and violence prevention experts. The curriculum is designed
to help communities: (1) Disseminate information and skills on violence
prevention to adults who raise, care for, and teach young children; (2)
identify and select early violence prevention programs, materials, and
resources; (3) work in collaborative efforts established among
community-based organizations; and (4) develop early childhood violence
prevention action plans.
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess pilot implementations of
the ACT Community Training Program in three communities: Monterey, CA;
Randolph, NJ; and Kansas City, MO. The objectives of the evaluation are
to (1) assess whether the Community Training Program is being
successfully disseminated and implemented; (2) examine factors that
affect successful dissemination, adoption, and implementation of the
training program; (3) compare findings across the three sites; and (4)
assess the involvement of the public health sector in each of the three
sites.
Data collected for the evaluation will provide much-needed
information on the dissemination and implementation of one of the
successful strategies summarized in the Best Practices of Youth
Violence Prevention. The results of the evaluation will assist the
Division of Violence Prevention and the National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control in carrying out CDC's mission of protecting the
health of the United States public by providing leadership in
preventing and controlling injuries through research, surveillance,
implementation of programs, and communication. The evaluation will
include semi-structured interviews with local and national program
stakeholders (forms 1 and 2), focus groups with a subset of ACT
trainees (``facilitators'') during a site visit (form 3), and a half-
hour telephone survey with the universe of ACT trainees at 6 months
with e-mail follow-ups at 2 months and 12 months (form 4). In addition,
we will follow-up with a small subset of ``adult community members''
reached by ACT trainees with a half-hour telephone survey (form 5).
Presented below is the estimated respondent burden for the telephone
surveys, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups, respectively.
There are no costs to respondents.
