Roundtable Rotation I: Designing for Change: The Experience of the Quitline Iowa Evaluation
Roundtable Presentation 373 to be held in GOLIAD on Thursday, Nov 11, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Sponsored by the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health TIG

Abstract: Since 2008, the Iowa Tobacco Cessation Program Evaluation has comprehensively evaluated state-funded tobacco cessation programs. One of these programs, Quitline Iowa, is a telephone-based counseling service that also offers a free two-week supply of nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patches, or lozenges) to Iowans who are trying to quit using tobacco products. The evaluation of Quitline Iowa includes two methods: follow-up interviews with Quitline Iowa callers and secret shopper calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Follow-up interviews were conducted with participants 3, 6, and 12 months after their first call to Quitline Iowa. A questionnaire developed by the evaluator assessed changes in tobacco use behaviors and aspects of the callers’ experiences. In July 2010, the evaluation follow-up interview protocol will change to a protocol designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for all state quitline evaluations to use. This presentation will discuss challenges and lessons learned through the change process.
Roundtable Rotation II: Adapting the Strategic Prevention Framework Model for Use in Suicide Prevention and Other Abbreviated Funding Cycles Benefiting From Grantee, Stakeholder, Evaluator Collaboration
Roundtable Presentation 373 to be held in GOLIAD on Thursday, Nov 11, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Sponsored by the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health TIG
Presenter(s):
Trena Anastasia, University of Wyoming, tanastas@uwyo.edu
Trish Worley, University of Wyoming, tworley1@uwyo.edu
Abstract: This session will demonstrate a process of adapting the Strategic Prevention Framework model for abbreviated grant cycles while maintaining fidelity to the process. Ideas for using a front loading of the needs assessment to jump start coalition buy-in, in an effort to move toward rapid adoption of needs based prevention strategies will be shared. The example shown demonstrates the adaptation to a three year grant cycle for suicide prevention where outcome baseline measures were identified in the needs assessment phase. Bring your ideas for building community evaluation partners given the constraints of funding time lines, to share with the group.
