| مستخلص: | The flexibility federal block grants provide recipients poses challenges for evaluation. These challenges include aggregating data on wide-ranging activities grant recipients implement and the outcomes they achieve. In 2014, we began designing an evaluation to address the challenges of assessing outcomes and to improve outcome accountability for the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant. Through the use of evaluability assessment methodology, review of existing data and the literature, and key informant interviews, we developed a measurement framework to assess outcomes resulting from recipients' ability to use grant funds to meet their locally prioritized needs. We argue our evaluation approach demonstrates that block grants, and other similarly flexible programs, can be evaluated through appropriately designed measures. Our efforts challenge the idea that flexibility presents an insurmountable barrier to evaluation and outcome accountability for federal block grants. |
