Operationalizing community engagement evaluation: A structured and scalable approach using the RE-AIM framework and net effects diagrams
This approach offers a transparent, scalable, and context-sensitive method for assessing CE programs. It supports data-driven decision-making, continuous program improvement, and stakeholder engagement. While developed for CE initiatives, the method is broadly adaptable to other community and public health programs. Future efforts will include expanded outcome tracking, integration into dashboards, and dissemination as a toolkit for broader adoption within and beyond the CTS Award network.
