2010, Bright Futures for Women’s Health and Wellness Initiative, Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Office of Women’s Health.Community Health Center, Inc. was one of four organizations across the country selected to evaluate the new Bright Futures Emotional Wellness Guides for Young Women and Women, tools developed by the HRSA’s Office of Women’s Health under the Bright Futures for Women’s Health and Wellness Initiative (BFWHW). The evidence-based, easy-to-read guides are built around three constructs: appreciating yourself, finding balance and purpose and connecting with others.
The evaluation examined the impact of the guides and their use in health care and social service organizations, focusing on the following areas: acceptability of the guides by the target audiences; strategies for ensuring the use of the guides; and short-term outcomes associated with the use of the guides. The evaluation also aimed to examine how the guides have been used, by whom, and under what circumstances to assess effectiveness; provide feedback to identify barriers related to the guides’ distribution and use; support replication of best practices at other locations; assess the usefulness of tools to meet the long-term goals of the initiative by using several qualitative and quantitative data collection strategies; and inform future BFWHW programming.
Data and feedback were collected during two focus groups – one for women 18 and older and one for young women ages 13 to 17 – and through guide and survey distribution to Community Health Center of Meriden patients. After reviewing the guide, patients were asked to complete a survey, providing feedback on whether the guides were easy to read and understand, as well as how helpful and useful they could be to their lives. The guides are now part of the Health and Wellness portfolio offered to participants in CHC’s Living Smart, Living Fit® program.
