Purpose

To describe the Children’s Healthy Weight State Capacity Building Program (CHW-SCBP) and report on progress after 3 years of program implementation.

Description

The CHW-SCBP was a 5-year cooperative agreement (2020–2025) between the Association of State Public Health Nutritionists (ASPHN) and the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), with the specific objective of developing state models in maternal child health (MCH) nutrition integration, which could then be implemented and replicated in states nationwide. Three states – North Dakota, Oregon, and Wisconsin – were selected to be part of CHW-SCBP and worked with ASPHN on their specific priorities and models of MCH nutrition integration. The implementation of the CHW-SCBP program followed two strategies, based on the goals of the HRSA Notice of Funding Opportunity (HRSA-20-043): (1) the workforce strategy, focused on increasing the MCH nutrition competency of the state Title V workforce and (2) the data strategy, focused on optimizing MCH nutrition-related data sources to contribute to data-driven programs and activities related to assessment, policy development, and assurance, within states’ Title V.

Assessment

Activities implemented within the workforce and data strategies, as well as each state’s outcomes, are summarized and discussed. Results from Year 3 program evaluation are also included.

Conclusion

The CHW-SCBP program successfully engaged with the three selected states, increasing the MCH nutrition competency of their Title V workforce and their knowledge and usage on MCH nutrition data. Sustainability plans need to be developed for program gains to be maintained beyond the CHW-SCBP funding period.
