• Intended use of the resulting data (e.g., provide suggestions for improving community-based programs):

To ensure the WAI Learning Community meets the needs of its customers.

• Methods to be used to collect (e.g., prospective cohort design; randomized trial; etc.):

Combination open-ended, Likert scale, and 5-point questions to any PHA staff who attend a Learning event.

• The subpopulation to be studied (e.g., school-age children in North Carolina, conference attendees):

State, tribal, local, and territorial public health agency staff

• How data will be analyzed (e.g., logistic regression, descriptive statistics):

Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis based on open-ended and closed-scale responses.
