Our final phase, Prevent, kicks off with the implementation of prevention efforts followed by impact measurement.

Adjustments to efforts will be made following the PDSA cycle approach to ensure continued improvement with each iteration.

 

The aim of the PAP Prevent phase is to learn what combination of aligned prevention efforts will most positively impact each unique community. The continuous quality improvement approach allows for ongoing adjustments reflecting the changing needs of community members.

The University System of New Hampshire, as the lead evaluator, will work with the Community Implementation Teams and DHHS to conduct a program assessment evaluation, tracking the new prevention alignment of services and communication to determine if the identified prevention services bundle is effectively improving outcomes for children, families, and communities. Community Implementation Teams will document their strategies, efforts, and PDSA cycles as well as what resources were leveraged.

For New Hampshire, improving social determinants of health for the residents of Manchester, the Winnipesaukee Region, and Greater North Country are of primary focus.
