Annotation: This video serves as an in-depth introduction to conducting a community needs assessment. By breaking the process down into eleven steps, this training plan is easily digestible. Topics covered are defining a needs assessment, discussing partnership opportunities, and addressing how to achieve long-term or short-term community health improvements.

Learning Objectives: • Define community health needs assessment • Explain why community health needs assessments are important • Outline the 11 steps in conducting a community health needs assessment

Annotation: Community needs assessments are crucial to understanding how to best help a community. This video focuses on the data aspect of community needs assessments. Topics covered include the definition of a community needs assessment, planning for a community needs assessment, how to find and create data, and ways to prioritize and implement findings form a community needs assessment.

Learning Objectives: • Define a community needs assessment • Identify who needs to be involved in a needs assessment • Outline how to find data for a needs assessment • Describe what is means to “prioritize findings” • Explain what to do with the findings from a needs assessment

Annotation: This series is archived from the 2020 Virtual Training in Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology event. This intermediate to advanced course covers statistics and epidemiologic methods in the Maternal and Child Health field. Topics covered include quality improvement analysis, propensity score analysis, needs assessments, generalized linear models, decomposition and analysis reporting.

Learning Objectives: • Outline the process of conducting a needs assessment • Explain when and how to use a generalized linear model • Understand the importance of quality improvement analysis and reporting

Annotation: This video provides an overview of the importance, key aspects of, and how to conduct a needs assessment. By the end of this webinar, participants should be confident in their basic knowledge of what a needs assessment is and understand the process.

Learning Objectives: • Define a needs assessment • Explain why needs assessments are important • Define a need and distinguish from an asset • Outline the steps of a needs assessment

Annotation: This video learning module walks through the full Asset Mapping process, whereby resources in the community or state/jurisdiction can be identified. Asset mapping builds on community strengths and often focuses on geographic location to ensure utility. This session looks at a nine-step process to engage partners in this work. Participants in the process cluster resources and reflect on patterns of assets and gaps. These results are used to inform action planning. Examples from technical assistance sessions with real state programs are provided.

Learning Objectives: • Be able to use Asset Mapping to find resources and gaps for an MCH focus. • Know where to get more information on Asset Mapping.

Annotation: The MCH community has a long-standing tradition of integrating family engagement into programs, research, and practice. Yet, tested and validated measures to improve and sustain the quality of family engagement in health services and research are lacking.

Learning Objectives: • Understand currently available measures of family engagement. • Identify gaps in developing and utilizing these measures. • Learn innovative strategies for engaging families in research.

Annotation: With a growing population, an increase in connected devices and the rapid pace of technological development, agencies are now collecting more data than ever before. Not to mention, the sprawl of government information systems and technologies means that agencies are also generating significant amounts of information. All that data can be extremely valuable to the way government achieves mission goals. But to reap that value, agencies must be able to do more than collect it; they must be able to analyze it. In this course, we examine the barriers that many agencies face in bridging the gap between collection and analytics. We also identify the three critical tasks that agencies must achieve to glean insights from their data. Finally, we examine how data analytics can have real impact on the operations of government agencies. The course comprises an overview, 3 lessons, a knowledge check, and a post-course survey.

Continuing Education: GovLoop is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.

Annotation: This webinar describes the living systematic review (LSR) approach to maintaining the currency of systematic reviews of literature by using continual surveillance for new research evidence and inclluding relevant new information in systematic reviews in a timely manner. It also discusses features of the Cochrane LSR search. A video and slides are available.
