SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On April 28, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with the Literacy Campaign for the provision of evaluation services by the Monterey County Health Department Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Unit for $6,809, for the term of May 1, 2016 through July 31, 2016. The Renewal and Amendment #1 allows additional time for the completion of the original scope of work, as the project was delayed by the Literacy Campaign. The original scope of work has been expanded to include evaluation analyses on the additional messaging product developed by the Literacy Campaign. The cost to do the additional evaluation analyses is reflected in the increase in the contract amount from $6,809 to $11,302 (payable to the County).
Literacy Campaign is conducting a social messaging campaign to support parent interaction with their young children. Monterey County Health Department Planning, Evaluation and Policy Unit staff will provide evaluation services to measure the strength of value and message exposure using message distribution data and focus group results.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2011-2015 Startegic Plan initiative: 1) Empower the community to improve health through programs, policies, and activities. It also supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 10) Research for new insights and innovative solutions to health problems.
