In an effort to measure training impact in PHTCs across the country, starting in June 2016, public health training centers across the country adopted 4 \u201ccommon metrics” evaluation question in most trainings.* \u00a0 NEPHTC is pleased to share its most recent common metrics for trainings in the period January 1, 2017-June 30, 2017.<\/p>\n

*not always possible to collect depending on partner evaluation situation<\/h6>\n

Workplace action is always an area of particular importance to health departments and employers.<\/h4>\n

The common metric question \u201cI have identified actions I will take to apply information I learned in this training from my work”\u009d is a simple self-evaluation from trainees about workplace impact. \u00a0 NEPHTC’s overall result across all measured trainings in six months ending June 30, 2017 is 88% (agree or strongly agree with statement).<\/p>\n

Buried in that result is the various scores received by a wide mix of trainings.\u00a0 Some trainings have clear actions that can be taken, while other trainings cover important topics that may nonetheless not be practices employees will encounter in the short term. For example,\u00a0 Grant writing is a skill public health\u00a0 employers generally want their public health managers to improve, but is also a skill that not all managers will plan on implementing in a given year.<\/p>\n

NEPHTC would particularly like to highlight the impressive results of SHIELD, the School Health Institute for Leadership and Education Development.<\/h4>\n

SHIELD <\/a>trains Massachusetts school nurses and other school personnel under a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Health.\u00a0 SHIELD’s measure of trainee-identified “workplace actions” was higher by 3 percentage points than NEPHTC trainings overall.\u00a0 This measure is helpful in addressing the concern of substance use: many of SHIELD’s trainings provide SBIRT training (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) in school-aged populations.\u00a0 Also of note is the tremendous number of trainings offered: 61 in the six month time period ending June 20, 2017, covering a large number of school nurses across Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
