Purpose:
To describe the Children's Healthy Weight State Capacity Building Program (CHW-SCBP) and report on progress after 3 years of program implementation.
Description:
The CHW-SCBP was a 5-year cooperative agreement (2020-2025) between the Association of State Public Health Nutritionists (ASPHN) and the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), with the specific objective of developing state models in maternal child health (MCH) nutrition integration, which could then be implemented and replicated in states nationwide. Three states - North Dakota, Oregon, and Wisconsin - were selected to be part of CHW-SCBP and worked with ASPHN on their specific priorities and models of MCH nutrition integration. The implementation of the CHW-SCBP program followed two strategies, based on the goals of the HRSA Notice of Funding Opportunity (HRSA-20-043): (1) the workforce strategy, focused on increasing the MCH nutrition competency of the state Title V workforce and (2) the data strategy, focused on optimizing MCH nutrition-related data sources to contribute to data-driven programs and activities related to assessment, policy development, and assurance, within states' Title V.
Assessment:
Activities implemented within the workforce and data strategies, as well as each state's outcomes, are summarized and discussed. Results from Year 3 program evaluation are also included.
Conclusion:
The CHW-SCBP program successfully engaged with the three selected states, increasing the MCH nutrition competency of their Title V workforce and their knowledge and usage on MCH nutrition data. Sustainability plans need to be developed for program gains to be maintained beyond the CHW-SCBP funding period.
