Description: his event is led by Dr. Anne Hill, Senior Data Specialist and Evaluator at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), and Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Health Professions at MSU. This interactive MSU Denver Grand Rounds session invites students to learn about an outcome evaluation that assessed how local organizations leveraged federal funds to reduce the multiple impacts of COVID-19 in Colorado. The evaluation synthesized data from 66 grantees on whether and how they achieved short-term outcomes of improving vaccine literacy and access. The study also explores reported secondary benefits of building community capacity to address SDoH. The session concludes with a facilitated discussion on the impacts of COVID-19 on historically marginalized populations and lessons learned that we could use for future public health emergencies.
