SPECIAL PROJECTS

Tobacco: Local program evaluation

The Program Development and Evaluation Unit is partnering with the UW-Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Center for Health Policy and Program Evaluation to provide statewide monitoring and evaluation for the Wisconsin Tobacco Control Board, which supervises the tobacco settlement fund. Our role is to provide training and technical assistance to Wisconsin's tobacco-free coalitions around the state in order to build local capacity in program development and evaluation that will help ensure effective performance and attainment of positive results. Five regional specialists and one statewide coordinator work with tobacco-free coalitions to design results-based programs and implement evaluations that are practical, credible and useful.
