Evaluating Technical Assistance Levels in Community Engagement for Health and Recreation Access

This research project assesses the impact of varying levels of technical assistance (TA) on nine communities implementing Community Engagement (CE) strategies to tackle barriers to healthcare and recreation. The study categorizes TA into three levels: Minimal (materials), Moderate (materials and training), and Intensive (comprehensive support). Research questions focus on the effects of these TA levels on barrier identification, modifications to CE strategies, and the potential increase in community participation resulting from reduced barriers. Outcome measures include adherence to processes, action logs, and community participation surveys.

  1. R10. CEI Knowledge Transfer Research Project Charles Drum & Tom Seekins

  2. R10. CEI KT Research Project • Purpose: Evaluates the impact of 3 different levels of technical assistance to 9 communities implementing Community Engagement (CE) to address barriers to health care and recreation • CE uses public forums to probe for barriers and develop solutions • Three categories of KT TA: KT Minimal (materials only); KT Moderate (materials and training); KT Intensive (materials, training & co-facilitation)

  3. R10. CEI KT Research Project • Research Questions: • Will graduated levels of KT result in differential results in identifying and ameliorating barriers? • What components of the CEI will be adopted, modified, or dropped, and what components added under different KT assistance conditions? • Will removing barriers to health care and recreation result in an increase in community participation?

  4. R10. CEI KT Research Project Outcome Measures: • Adherence/Change to CE Process • Action Logs (# Meetings, time, actions taken) • Modified Larsen’s utilization scale (#, type, and level of barrier amelioration) (Post) • Opportunity Index (resolved barriers) (Post) • Community Participation and Perceived Receptivity Survey (Health Care and Public Parks sections only) (Pre- Post)

  5. R10. CEI KT Research Project • Do the intervention and outcome measures have face validity from your perspective? • Suggestions for improving study design or intervention? • Are results potentially useful/valuable? • Is this useful to you? • How can it be improved to be useful to you?
