Stream: Health and Wellness

Location: C120-122
Abstract Information: The flexibility and simplicity of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health (1999) led to its wide adoption beyond CDC and public health. However, much has evolved in the last 25 years. CDC recognized the need to update the framework to align with evaluation and public health advancements, lessons learned from practical application of the framework, and current federal agency policies, practices, and priorities. To reflect the current state of program evaluation and maintain the framework’s utility, value, and relevance to public health and evaluation, CDC undertook a multi-year process to update the document by gathering input from about 850 groups and individuals. Presentations will describe the process and collaborative approach used to update the framework, methods used to gather insights from federal staff, funding recipients, and the public, and share the revised framework, which was published as a MMWR Recommendations and Reports in September 2024.
