Development of a Data Visualization Tool to Evaluate the Impact of a Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Nutrition Training Program on MCH Populations

Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Nutrition Training Programs currently use metrics like student grade point average, graduation rates, and post-graduation employment status to evaluate the production of successful trainees. However, tools to measure the impact of program alumni on the MCH population through their current employment are limited. This study provides the groundwork and instruments to allow MCH training programs and other workforce development investments to collect these metrics, demonstrate the program reach to MCH populations, and communicate program strengths and needed investments to key stakeholders through data visualization.
