Description
Summary:The purpose of CDC’s Essentials for Childhood (EfC) initiative was to assure safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments and prevent child maltreatment. SciMetrika supported the evaluation of this initiative by collecting, tracking, analyzing, and reporting data on Essentials for Childhood grantees’ efforts to implement the four primary goals of CDC’s Essentials for Childhood Framework using a collective impact approach. In this article, we report quantitative and qualitative findings from our analysis of data sources collected from funded states over the five-year period. Further, we describe key successes and barriers to implementing the EfC framework at the state level using the collective impact model. These lessons learned can be applied to other state-level initiatives looking to implement a public health framework to address a complex social issue.
