Piloting a framework to explore the impacts of public health workforce capacity-building initiatives

Evaluating longer-term outcomes and impacts of capacity building interventions is crucial to both improve and justify public health workforce development initiatives, particularly as prevention and population health needs persist. We posit that evaluations will be more effective if standardized methods are used across interventions, and if there is a greater push to share and publish results. We present a conceptual framework that may inform and guide future evaluation and process improvement efforts.
