| Abstract:
The Public Health - Seattle & King County was awarded two highly-competitive federal stimulus grants to address the leading causes of death in our region as part of the CDC Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW). This presentation focuses on the evaluation of the seven local government grantees involving a participatory, developmental approach and a focus on creating policy, systems and environment (PSE) changes that would produce healthier built/food environments. PSE evaluation methodology and the introduction of health concepts into planning are both relatively new. As a result, creative evaluation plans and processes and specific tools were developed to capture baseline and changes over time. Team role challenges will be discussed. The evaluation takes into account what real world changes are possible in an atmosphere of economic downturns multiple stakeholder interests in policy development. The presenter will discuss the outcomes, challenges and lessons learned from this evaluation approach.

| Abstract:
We used a mixed-method approach to evaluate the impact of a diverse community collaboration implementing multi-layered strategies to address the shortage of nurses specializing in elder care.
Pacific Lutheran University's School of Nursing worked with the partners to refocus the nursing school curriculum, hire faculty, award scholarships, expand in- patient clinical placements and create innovative community based clinical opportunities to increase students' exposure to gerontology and influence their career choice.
We measured the strength of the collaboration through a focus group with the community partners, phone interviews with nursing school faculty and community stakeholders, focus group with the scholarship recipients, and an online survey of all PLU nursing students enrolled in the study year.
Findings suggest that the strength of this collaboration is at the very core of the project's successful achievement of its short and mid-term outcomes and that the partnership is on its way to becoming self- sustaining.
