Evaluation Resources
The Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) has developed evaluation tools and resources to assist state health departments, tribal organizations, communities and partners in their programmatic and evaluation efforts. While many of the tools and resources were developed primarily for use by DHDSP-funded programs, they may also be of interest to entities not funded by DHDSP or working in other chronic disease areas.
Field Notes
Introducing Field Notes! Every day, we see examples of different approaches used in the field by colleagues working at the state, local, and community levels. With Field Notes, we can share some of these efforts from across the nation.
New Field Notes will be available on a regular basis, so please check in periodically, and let us know if there are specific types of efforts or activities you would like to see highlighted. Keep in mind that to provide you with timely examples, levels of evidence may differ for the example strategies.
