SPCH Seminar Series: "Governance as a Modifiable Public Health Intervention: Preliminary Results from a UGP Study of the Washington Family Policy Council"

Coordinating community efforts will lead to big public health outcomes, right? Funders seem to think so, but this type of coalition building has a poor track record. Join us to learn what works better.

Drawing on a year-long study of the innovative Washington State Family Policy Council, we propose that governance decisions and strategies are game-changers. When we view governance as a modifiable intervention that can drive learning, engagement, focus, and data tracking/evaluating for results, we shift to capacity building rather than coordination with lasting, positive outcomes.
