Program Evaluator (7/2009 – 7/2018)

The aim of LiveWell Longmont (LWL) was to promote healthy eating and active living (HEAL) based on making these behaviors the defaults in situations where they were currently impeded by various environmental and psychological obstacles. I was responsible for using experimental and observational methods to identify barriers to healthy behaviors to inform interventions to reduce, remove, replace, or circumvent these impediments and then to lead an assessment of the effectiveness of the interventions through the Social Cognitive Theory Framework and the Socio-Ecological Model. I provided assessment, measurement, research design, research analysis, and program evaluation through quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method approaches for worksite wellness, community health, food systems, and school health community programs while utilizing social psychology research methods. I used software tools for data collection and analysis, particularly R. I communicated research findings in diverse forms (written, oral, and digital), to diverse audiences including community members, conferences, and city officials. I collaborated with research teams from Boulder County Public Health and Kaiser Permanente as well as LWL team members. I co-authored grant proposals and grant progress reports. In regards to specific projects:

  • I developed The LWL Collective Impact Evaluation Framework to enable LWL to monitor work from 1) exploration of social-economic context to 2) design and implementation, through 3) intermediate outcomes to 4) ultimate impact through the lens of community participation and access. I was the lead presenter of the framework and results with Namino Glantz of Boulder County Public Health and Melissa Trecoske Houghton of LWL at the 2015 Public Health in the Rockies Conference.

  • I developed the Pillars of Sustainability and Community Readiness Evaluation and Planning Tool in 2009 for measuring the effectiveness of creating lasting (sustainable) cultural change in Longmont to support healthy eating and active living. LWL viewed and adapted goals and their associated strategies through the lens of the Pillars to encourage a systematic, policy, and environmental change-focused approach. The Pillars provided LWL with evidence-based support to address all levels of the Socio-Ecological Model. I presented the tool and results of its use at the 2011 Public Health in the Rockies Conference.

  • I applied principles of community-based participatory research which emphasizes the role of community residents as experts and investigators, not merely as research subjects.  Through Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation, I carried out the planning, monitoring, and evaluating of programs under the full or joint control of local communities as per Estrella & Gaventa (1998). The University of Kansas Community Toolbox (2016) and the Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation Toolkit (Asadullah & Muñiz, 2015) provided a framework for community-based participatory research, monitoring, and evaluation. Evaluation tools that were utilized to measure cultural competency included The Agency Cultural Competence Checklist (Dana, 1992) and The Personal Reflection of Cultural Competence Checklist (American Speech-Language-Hearing Assoc., 2010). Reflection questions devised by Jarwaharlal Nehru University researchers for Participatory Evaluation on the role of end-users, the purpose, the method, the facilitator’s role, the outcomes, unequal stakeholder power, validation of the participatory process, and the links between participatory monitoring, evaluation, and research were utilized (Pant, 2009). I wrote an evaluation report on studies I led using Collective Impact Evaluation from 2016-2018 as part of the Cancer, Cardiovascular and Chronic Pulmonary Disease Grants Program.

  • In the summer of 2009, I compiled data on health, healthy eating, hunger, and the food system in Longmont through an inventory of resources available and Boulder County Public Health data. In the fall of 2009, I organized and facilitated the conducting of focus groups, I coded discussions, and I reported on the themes with input from the LWL Food Assessment Subgroup. In 2010, I collaborated with WPM Consulting on a Longmont Food Systems Assessment to gauge the needs and interest of where to build community gardens and to build an understanding of the best ways to ensure better access to fruits and vegetables in Longmont. Through this collaboration, we conducted a YMCA neighborhood priorities and needs assessment; a food systems projects survey of community partners; a garden and food distribution community survey; and a policy scan of what hinders and promotes proximity, cultural relevancy, affordability, and nutrition of foods in Longmont. Using the 2009 focus group themes, in collaboration with Colorado State University Professor Dawn Thilmany, we developed a survey that was completed by 748 residents and conducted interviews and coded results from community listening efforts at community events and meetings. 62% of respondents indicated it was challenging to eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables consistently each day and reported wanting to get more fruits and vegetables from where they were already shopping. 90% of respondents would like to include more locally-produced foods in their daily diets.  Gretchen Nurse, PhD, of Colorado State University, conducted a statistical analysis of the food assessment survey to find significant trends and relationships in the data. I collaborated with Wendy Peters Moschetti and Melissa Trecoske Houghton on a final report of findings. The results of the food system assessment informed the corner store intervention study, the community garden intervention study, the school salad bar intervention study, and the farm stand intervention.

  • In collaboration with Spark Policy, I supported a Longmont Corner Store Study: Developing survey tools (LWL In-store customer survey and observation assessment) and training volunteers to conduct the assessments and customer surveys in both English and Spanish. Between the 3 corner stores (7-Eleven, a Loaf ‘n Jug, and Las America Tortilleria), 49 customers were surveyed. I presented data and analysis to the LWL Steering Committee, a few Promotoras, and partners. I provided Spark Policy with the Summary of Findings and they developed Infographic 1 and Infographic 2 with the collected data and LWL disseminated the results through the community. 

  • Through the PE Quality Improvement Grant, in collaboration with St Vrain Valley School District, I supported exploring innovative ways to support physical activity in classrooms to promote physical and mental health and enhanced content learning and retention. I supported study development and evaluation comparing grade school classes that incorporated physical activity into classroom breaks versus those that did not and tracking attendance, participation, and grades. Since piloting this project, all grade school classrooms participated. 

  • Framing Study: I helped examine how different point-of-decision prompts influence perceptions of self and environment, and how these perceptions relate to subsequent physical activity and healthy eating behavior (e.g., choosing to take the stairs rather than an elevator; choosing to ride a city bike versus drive; choosing healthier vending food choices). I worked with the Communication Taskforce to create a quarterly work plan with targets to measure each quarter that LWL could directly influence. Campaign strategies were targeting employees at individual worksites through quarterly small steps.

  • I conducted an exploratory study on Longmont needs and interests that included a literature review that investigated valid indicators of health disparities, healthfulness, behavioral and attitudinal changes toward health and wellness, and coalition effectiveness; estimating community food systems programmatic needs; and existing best practices models for schools increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, communities developing food systems assessments, worksite wellness programs, safe routes to school programs and coalition collaboration

  • I assessed county-wide community collaboration in improving healthy eating and active living among children 0-5 and their families, with an emphasis on improving health among disparately-affected communities with the School Wellness Coordinator through pre- and post-School Wellness Surveys, conducting a plate waste salad bar study, and conducting food service coordinator interviews.  I collaborated with Boulder County Public Health to track fruit and vegetable consumption among Boulder County adults using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and among middle and high school students using the Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey. I collaborated with Boulder County Farmers’ Markets to track WIC fruit and vegetable voucher use and farmer market double coupon data.

  • I evaluated a comprehensive worksite wellness program that utilized WELCOA principles by collaborating with the Worksite Wellness Coordinator to conduct employee needs/interests surveys, track HERO scorecard employee health results, conduct employer leadership surveys and interviews, offer health risk assessments, and collect and compare BMI data through Weigh and Win Kiosks from pre- and post-interventions including bike to work challenges, walking challenges, and holiday weight maintenance challenges. Interventions were provided at Longmont United Hospital, St Vrain Valley School District, and City of Longmont.

  • I identified deficiencies and barriers to providing a comprehensive Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) Program at Longmont elementary schools through collaboration with the SRTS Coordinator and the School Wellness Coordinator by completing an Active School Neighborhood Checklist at district elementary schools. In the implementation of a SRTS program, I led tracking biking and walking participation numbers, bike racks installed, provided data collection through pre- and post-surveys of district principals. 

  • Supported assessment of active community environments that had the potential to support healthy community outcomes via the City of Longmont’s Comprehensive Plan. During May and June 2015, community members were asked to share their vision for the future of the City through a series of community workshops and online engagement activities that were coded and measured. The Longmont Multi-Use Corridor Survey, active in February and March of 2018, exceeded its goal of 2000, ultimately garnering 2,462 surveys. A multi-modal approach was used in collecting the survey. I participated in survey creation, training survey providers, and in writing up the community outreach summary in April 2018. The Preliminary Plan Framework with Vision and Guiding Principles was drafted at the end of July. Data was analyzed based on the # of local planning documents scanned for the inclusion of active living and shade policies to promote pedestrian experience, and safety, # of documents developed as tools for decision-makers to connect active living policies already in existence, # of stakeholders engaged to inform built environment policy and to enhance access to and availability of physical activity opportunities, # assessments of built environment existing conditions, # of opportunities identified active living education/promotion and policy development/enhancement, # Active Living plan policies adopted in the Comprehensive Plan, # of healthy food and beverage policies adopted in Comp Plan, and # of references made to HEAL aspects of the Comprehensive Plan.

  • I identified gaps and deficiencies in coalition partnerships to provide resources and capacity to accomplish the mission and goals of LiveWell Longmont using Journal of Extensions “Assessing your collaboration self-evaluation tool” and tracking the “continuum of integration” and the “cascading levels of collaboration” (Stanford Social Innovation Review). I utilized a community engagement tool from the City of Longmont’s “cultural broker” model. Meeting attendance was tracked and minutes were coded.
