Proposed Project Evaluation of the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center (NYVPRC)—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The origin of the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center (NYVPRC) is woven into the federal response to the Columbine High School shootings in 1999. As the Nation took a broad look at the issue of violence occurring in school settings, it became clear that violence among adolescents stretched far beyond the walls of educational institutions and presented a complex threatening public health concern requiring a comprehensive response. To that end, the White House established the Council on Youth Violence in October 1999 to coordinate youth violence prevention activities of all federal agencies. The Council, in collaboration with CDC and other federal agencies, directed the development of NYVPRC to serve as a user-friendly, single point of entry to potentially life-saving information about youth violence prevention. Since 1999, a substantial body of evidence has evolved to support the belief that youth violence can be prevented through the comprehensive, systematic application of effective approaches. A better understanding of the key influencers on the prevention of youth violence has emerged.1 2 3 Armed 1 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (1999). Ten great public health achievements— United States, 1900–1999. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 48, 241–243. PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with this greater understanding, the NYVPRC’s role has been refocused to better position it to respond to emerging needs. This project will evaluate a pilot implementation of the revised NYVPRC Web site. The revised Web site will target local government and community leaders with youth violence-related online training, information resources and community workspace to build and sustain comprehensive, communitywide prevention efforts. The objectives of the NYVPRC pilot project are to determine (1) the usefulness and favorability of the online training, information resources and community workspaces, (2) the reach of targeted promotional efforts, and (3) progress made on short term outcomes. Four data collection tools will be used to measure these objectives: (1) User feedback surveys, (2) training surveys, (3) implementation interviews and (4) coalition capacity surveys. User feedback surveys will elicit responses from users at various points on the NYVPRC Web site by inviting them via a pop-up window to complete an online survey that will take 5 minutes to complete. All questions will be closed-ended and intended to gather feedback on customer satisfaction regarding the various Web site functions. It is expected that each set of data will be collected from up to 15 different groups of individuals over a three year period. For each group, the response period will continue until a pre-determined number of surveys has been met therefore an 80 percent response rate is not a goal. The sample will not be representative of the entire population. The training surveys will be conducted during the online training available through the Web site to assess satisfaction with and knowledge gained from the training. The training survey questions will be woven into three training modules that will be hosted on the Web site. Data will be collected electronically and, in total, the survey will take 15 minutes to complete. Implementation interviews and coalition capacity surveys will be required as a criteria for participation in the pilot. The implementation interviews will be conducted with all coalition leaders invited to participate 2 Mercy, J. A., Rosenberg, M. L., Powell, K. E., Broome, C. V., & Roper, W. L. (1993).
