Summary

The purpose of this study is to empirically develop, test, and disseminate sustainability training to improve the institutionalization of evidence-based state tobacco control (TC) programs, and thus, tobacco-related health outcomes.

Detailed description

This study defines program sustainability as the ability to maintain programming and its benefits over time. The project builds upon the empirically-developed Program Sustainability Action Planning Model and Training Curricula. The training will incorporate experiential learning methods and includes: action planning workshops, development of action plans with measurable objectives to foster institutional changes, and technical assistance. The goal is to demonstrate change in sustainability outcomes in states who receive the Program Sustainability Action Planning Training compared to states that do not. After conclusion of the study, the sustainability training curriculum will be disseminated to all participating state TC programs. Additionally, the curriculum will be adapted for the use by any public health program in need of building sustainability capacity.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Program Sustainability Action Planning Model and Training Curricula	The Program Sustainability Action Planning Model and Training Curricula's conceptual model is driven by the theory of change and incorporates aspects of Kolb's experiential learning theory to produce a six step process: defining the program, assessing the program, developing an action plan, executing the action plan, evaluating sustainability, and reassessing and modifying. The study team will deliver in-person, hand-on workshops incorporating each of these aspects of the conceptual model. Following the workshop, intervention states will partake in technical assistance activities with the study team to track progress and troubleshooting challenges.
