The document discusses methods for integrating impact evaluations of social protection programs with administrative data and household surveys. It provides three examples: 1) Brazil's Bolsa Familia program matched survey and administrative records to assess program impacts on education with similar results from both data sources. 2) Yemen's social welfare program used matching to divide beneficiaries and evaluate impacts on expenditures, income, and child labor. 3) Spatial matching of administrative and survey data in multiple cross-section and panel surveys can identify treatment and comparison groups to evaluate social programs.
Which Family Planning Methods can Community Health Workers Provide? Policy Da...JSI
This poster was presented by Kristen Devlin at the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2018.
Since 2012, the Advancing Partners & Communities (APC) project has supported community health programs globally, with a focus on family planning. APC develops practical tools and approaches to help global and national level stakeholders identify knowledge and programming gaps to harmonize and scale community health programs. For decades, community health workers (CHWs) have been critical to reaching last-mile communities with family planning (FP) interventions. Information on the types of FP methods CHWs can provide, is often fragmented across country policies and strategies. To fill this gap, APC launched the Community Health Systems Catalog in 2014 as a one-stop 'shop' for key information on FP and community health policies and programs across 25 countries. This catalog identifies guidance on: 1) The number and type of CHW cadres that can provide FP interventions by country, 2) Which FP interventions CHWs can provide, 3) Gaps in FP policy guidance.
This resource on community-based FP policies advances global knowledge and can be used to: Compary community-based FP interventions, inform dialog on FP task-sharing and -shifting, identify policy areas where clearer more comprehensive guidance is needed.

Reproductive Health (RH) is among the most fundamental aspects of life. Yet they often receive little attention in public policy discussions because of cultural and political sensitivities. In Sri Lanka, traditional religious and family values, designed to protect adolescents, can restrict RH education for youth. Some Sri Lankan parents assume that adolescents do not need to know about RH issues until they are married. This idea is rooted in traditional values and long-standing taboos surrounding sexuality that need to be examined in light of protecting health.This study examines the knowledge and perception regarding reproductive health and opinion toward reproductive health education among adolescents in Sri Lanka. The Main outcome measures were adolescent’s knowledge of reproductive health concepts, pregnancy and abortion.

As humans, we never fail to think that we are highly intelligent beings, and that we are mentally superior than any other creatures found on Earth.
Well, that...... may be true.
However, we can be equally stupid and dumb too.
Worse still, we don't even realize it - in terms of how we can make erroneous judgments, decisions and choices, based on how our mind processes and filters information, as well as how our belief system works.
As intriguing and exciting this topic is to me, I find it difficult to illustrate the concepts involve, and that took me nearly 6 months to complete this work. (The Planning Fallacy in play?!) Throughout writing this deck, I've made a total of 8 major revisions before coming to this final piece.
I hope you'll find this deck both interesting and useful!

An Interrupted Time Series Multivariate Regression Analysis Evaluation of Sta...Whitney Bowman-Zatzkin
An Interrupted Time Series Multivariate Regression Analysis Evaluation of State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) by Whitney Bowman-Zatzkin, MPA, MSR
As health insurance premiums continue to rise, the ability of many families to provide the critical health coverage to their children (both preventative and emergency) becomes an even greater challenge. In a study released in February 2005 in the Journal of Health Affairs, researchers found that half of those surveyed listed medical bills as the reason for their bankruptcy filings, with 75.7 percent of that half citing issues with health insurance during the illness resulting in the grandiose bills (Himmelstein, 2005). Figures released in 1997 from the Census Bureau reported a minimum of 10.7 million non-insured children within the United States (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1997). The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) was developed to address these concerns.
SCHIP has been implemented as a supplemental Medicaid program for eligible children based on financial need. The original focus of SCHIP was to provide healthcare coverage to all children from birth to six years of age and having family incomes up to 133 percent of the Federal poverty level (FPL) while also covering children age six and over with family incomes at or above 100 percent of FPL. The goal was to have all children living below established poverty levels and under the age of 19 eligible for coverage by September 2002.
States could choose from the following implementation options.
1. Use SCHIP funding and expand their established Medicaid program to accommodate a larger percentage of children (Expansion Program).
2. Create a program for a new bracket of uninsured children, separate from Medicaid (New Program).
3. Combine the established Medicaid program with a new program offering separate enrollment options (Combination).
States are permitted to divert funds from other resources to provide healthcare to children under very loosely defined parameters. At the time, there was no children’s healthcare program with the strength and financial backing of SCHIP.
This paper evaluates the success of the SCHIP program and whether the choice of implementation design influences its success. SCHIP is currently under consideration for reauthorization making such an evaluation very timely. This paper proceeds as follows. First, I provide background about the SCHIP program. Next, I describe my research design and methods. Then I discuss my findings. Finally, I conclude with a discussion of my results.

Part 1: The Program
Early childhood education is one of the specialization areas that had its issues presented in Mayo Keller’s taskforce. As a member of the taskforce specializing in early childhood education, I will present to the taskforce programs that need improvement for the ultimate goal of advancing the sector. One program that need to be evaluated and improved for change is the enrollment program into early childhood education. The goal of the program is to increase enrollment and improve participation of young learners in early childhood education. The enrollment of children aged 3 to 5 years into early childhood education has significantly been declining in the Grand City area. The situation therefore calls for the stakeholders to look into the causes and solutions (Walden University, 2016). Parents, district education officers, mayor’s office, and early childhood educators are some of the stakeholders concerned with the program.

Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analy
Promoting Safe and Stable Families
The role of nurses throughout healthcare program and policy evaluation is vital to our role as change agents within our communities. As nurses we participate in the evaluation process every time we go to work, assess our patients, and then partake in delivery of care. If we want to our voices to be heard we must be willing to take our evaluation skills to the next level. We must ask ourselves tough questions about whether the healthcare programs we are providing are meeting the needs of patients, their families, and communities. We must evaluate the healthcare program goals and outcomes to help determine whether it remains fiscally responsible and continues to meet a need in the population it aims to serve. Ultimately, we cannot blindly accept that the presence of a program validates its success. We must be willing and able to take personal action to ensure patients receive the highest quality of healthcare each and every day. The purpose of this paper is to present an evaluation of the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program with respect to it’s background, goals, outcomes, success, costs and related nursing advocacy opportunities.
Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation
Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Description
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program, which is more formally known as Title IV-B subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, aims to avoid unnecessary separations between caregivers and their children, protect permanency for children by taking the necessary steps to reunite them with their parents, when possible, or another permanent living situation, and to improve the quality of care and programming services being offered to children and their families to achieve maximum chance for stable families (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Children’s Bureau, 2012).
The PSSF program has recently had two additional programs added, the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and abstinence education. The goal of the PREP program is to provide state funding aimed at teen pregnancy prevention, addressing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the adolescent population, as well as teaching teens skills to prepare them for adulthood (ie financial responsibility and organization skills). The abstinence education portion provides grants to individual states to promote education to adolescents regarding delaying sexual activity in an effort to further reduce teen pregnancy rates, but also to promote development of healthy relationships and establishment of healthy boundaries in at-risk populations such as homeless teens or those in foster care (United States Department of Health & Human Services, 2018).
How was the success of the program or policy measured?
Success of the PSSF program has been measured by the fact that funding for this program became a ma ...

Quo Vadis? A Phenomenological Study on Graduated Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this undertaking was to describe the lived experiences of graduated 4Ps
beneficiaries. The research employed qualitative research methods using the phenomenological approach. It
involved twelve graduated beneficiaries in San Miguel, Surigao del Sur. Study revealed that 4Ps beneficiaries had
improved their condition through the Program’s help from being poor to self-sufficiency. We can also derive from
the study, as revealed by the participants, that not only their economic condition has improved, but there is also a
manifestation of changed behavior because of their engagement in community activities such as improved
responsible parenting, increased community involvement, promoted women empowerment, strengthened selfesteem and career capacity, and improved family relations .Given of the above, the Philippine government needs
to continue and strengthen policies in the implementation of the PantawidPamilyang Pilipino Program. The
findings of the study have shown its positive outcome not only in keeping the children healthy and in school for
which the government invests in human capital but also in effecting socio-behavioral outcomes among its
beneficiaries. LGUs may also implement local social protection ordinances as part of their sustainability plan in
providing support or after-care services to graduated households to ensure reduced vulnerability and a sustained
level of well-being of these households.

Female Community Health Volunteers in Nepal: What We Know and Steps Going For...JSI
Presented by Leela Khanal, Project Director, JSI/Chlorhexidine Navi Care Program, at a USAID brown bag meeting on July 20, 2016.
The presentation shows the results of the recent Nepal Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV) National Survey which was funded by USAID, UNICEF, and Save the Children, and conducted by Advancing Partners & Communities in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Population. It collected updated information on FCHV work profiles, the services they provide, and the support they receive from different levels of the health system. In addition, the survey set out to understand FCHV motivational factors, and how FCHVs are perceived by the communities that they serve. The ultimate goal of the survey was to identify possible suggestions for policy change or other strategies to sustain the FCHV program in Nepal.
Impact of Performance-Based Financing (PBF) and On Maternal and Child Health ...IIJSRJournal
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of performance-based financing (PBF) on maternal and child health in Nigeria. PBF is proposed as a holistic reform approach that aims to improve the aforementioned shortcomings among others in healthcare provision. In Nigeria, this unique funding approach based on performance was piloted in 2011 with Adamawa, Nasarawa and ONDO states and later additional five States are Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Taraba and Bauchi which were added in 2016. It is expected that if these States demonstrates effectiveness in yielding the expected health outcomes especially as it pertains to the attainment of the stated health-related SDGs, the project would be implemented in all the States of the federation. This necessitates the need for an objective assessment of the impact of Performance-Based Financing especially as it pertains to maternal and child health. Against this background, data on key health indicators like number of ANC visits, Completely Vaccinated Children (CVC), Out Patient Department (OPD) attendance, Deliveries at the health centre and the number of Family Planning Services Uptake were collected at the Primary health care centre level in three States-Adamawa, Nassarawa and ONDO States. The Ex post facto and causal research design was used for the study. A sample size of one hundred and sixty two (162) primary health care facilities will be selected for the study representing approximately 20% of the study population which is adequate. This selection was done using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data collected was analyzed using basic descriptive statistics and the General Linear Model (GLM) approach involving the Two-way Mixed effects ANOVA Statistic. It was found that at 0.05 significant levels PBF health facilities perform better than the conventionally funded health facilities in terms of number of ANC visits, OPD attendance, deliveries at the health centres, CVCs and the number of family planning services. Consequently, it was concluded that PBF has had a significant impact on the health care quality of Primary Health Care Centres in the Piloted States. As a result it is recommended that the PBF program should be scaled up to all the States of the Federation and also the need to incorporate the PBF tenets in to the new Basic Health Care Provision Funds, BHCPF, among others were recommended.

Introduction
The basic question of an Impact Evaluation of a
Social Protection Program: “Have the
Program made any difference in the life of the
participants?”
As easy it is to ask as hard it is to answer.
3. 3
Introdu ction
1. It implies the reformulation as: What would
have happened to the participants’ life it they
were not in the program?
2. It implies a causal relationship between the
programs and the outcomes
3. The question is usually asked after the
program had been implemented
4. It requires a very sound methodological
design
5. It is a lengthy usually 2 years;
6. It is costly (USD 200 thousand to over 2
million Grosh et al)
4. 4
Introduction
The integration of the impact evaluation survey with
administrative data and the national household
surveys enhances the reliability of the results and
lower the costs of the evaluation.
Three examples:
1. The impact evaluation of the Bolsa Familia (AIBF in
Brazil)- phase one.
2. The National Social Protection Monitoring (NSPMS
in Yemen)
3. The spatial matching of administrative records
with national household surveys)
5. 5
AIBF Phase 1 (Brazil)
Year 2005
Sample Size: 15, 426 households 65,000 individuals
Design:
•In the 41 largest municipalities the Primary Sampling
Unit (PSU) was the Census Tract
•The other municipalities were aggregated to have a
minimum size of 50,000, they constitute the PSU and
the census tract was the Secondary Sampling Unit
(SSU)
•Census tracts were screened to identify families
beneficiaries, families non beneficiaries but registered
in the registry system (CadUnico) and those who were
neither beneficiaries or registered, composed as 3:6:1
6. 6
AIBF Phase 1 (Brazil)
The individual and household records were
linked to the CadUnico records with the
objective of:
•Correct the information of the NIS of the
survey
•Assess the quality of self reported groups of
study
•Compare the effect on education on the
survey and the matched groups
•Compare the results on education of
Propensity Score Matching and Regression-

AIBF Phase 1 (Brazil)
The matching of the AIBF survey and
Administrative Data (CadUnico) combined
the Probabilistic and Deterministic
methods of record linkage
Information from CadUnico used were:
Full Name, Municipality of Residence,
Birth Date and Sex

AIBF Phase 1 (Brazil)
A sketchy list of activities:
1. Cleaning and standardization of Data Sources
2. Linkage by deterministic method
3. Classification of the record: Matched and Non Matched.
(73.8% of NIS and 35% of families were matched)
4. For the Non Matched : Blocks of Beneficiaries and Non
Beneficiaries in the Survey and Soundex of the first name +

9. Education: attendance, dropouts, progression, working,
non progression by PSM and RD Sharp
9. 9
AIBF Phase 1 (Brazil)
The overall results of effects on education did not
differ greatly in the survey and in the matched
databases by the PSM method, both indicating
the same signals in the differences on drop outs,
progressions, repetitions and out-schools
children.
The RD-Sharp the utilized the income declared in
the CadUnico revealed more conservative results
than the PSM.

•A Longitudinal Quarterly Panel Survey
to monitor socio-economic indicators and
assess the targeting and possible
impacts of the Social Welfare Fund (SWF)
•Year October 2012- September 2013
•Sample Size: 6,397 balanced size out of
7,152 households in the first round.

NSPMS-Yemen
Design:
•Census Enumeration Areas (EA) are the PSU
stratified by Governorates. 30 EA in each
Governorate.
•In each EA, 12 households were selected
using a stratified simple random sampling
procedure. Households were selected from the
three groups identified in the listing of the
household in the selected enumeration areas,
namely, beneficiary of Social Welfare Funds
(SWF), potential beneficiary of SWF
(registered, but not receiving it yet), and non-beneficiary
and non-registered.
•Each household was interviewed four times

The SFW
•The SWF expansion was due to the incorporation of
new beneficiaries into the programme. New
beneficiaries were identified in the 2008 Comprehensive
Social Survey (CSS) and selected through a proxy
means testing (PMT), but were only systematically
incorporated into the programme from October 2012
onwards.
•New beneficiaries correspond to about 33 per cent of
the total number of beneficiary households.
•Some new beneficiaries received their first payment in
the first quarter of 2011, after that, payments were
suspended and only resumed in the last quarter of 2012.
A lump sum payment varying from YER 30,000 to YER
60,000 corresponding to the 5 quarters in arrears was
paid to them

The matching with administrative date were
necessary to:
•To assess the distribution of the different
categories of SWF beneficiaries.
•To divide the sample of beneficiaries into old
beneficiary (pre-2008) and new beneficiary (post-
2008) since they were selected differently. Only the
latter was chosen based on a PMT. It was necessary
to use the administrative data because almost 50%
of the sample replied they did not know when they
had started receiving the SWF benefit. Thus, one
could not classify the two groups (new and old
beneficiary) based on the survey information.

Matching of the survey info and SWF administrative
information was based on “number of SWF card”,
name of beneficiary, and when name did not match
on other characteristics of the main beneficiary.
734 SWF beneficiaries in the NSPMS sample that
were not matched with the SWF administrative
database).
New parameters: the total amount of SWF transfers
received during round 1 (October-December 2012)
and the self-reported year of accreditation into the
programme.
This procedure yield similar estimates of new
beneficiaries in both admin data and NSPMS sample:
33%, out of 1,5 million total beneficiaries.

Some results
•The propensity score estimates confirmed that new
SWF beneficiaries were more likely to be poor (as
identified by the PMT) and have higher predicted
probabilities of SWF receipt than the comparison
group members.
•As for expenditures on food, we find that all of the
estimated effects are positive, and most are also
statistically significant, particularly, for old SWF
beneficiaries.
•As for household income and agricultural
production we find that income from work and from
agricultural production are both significantly
reduced among the old SWF beneficiary households.

• New SWF beneficiaries are more likely to make
investments in agricultural inputs and, they are
also significantly more likely to possess livestock
than non-beneficiaries.
• Higher rates of child labour and unpaid family
work for female SWF new beneficiaries ages 6-11
(compared to non beneficiaries) while school
• Reductions in the probability that both male and
female children of younger (6-11) and older (12-
14) ages were absent from school
• Higher rates of unpaid family work for males 6-11
and 12-14 years (also new beneficiaries).

Spatial Matching of Administrative
Records with National Household Survey
Multiple Cross Section Surveys
In most of those surveys, the Primary
Sampling Units (PSU) of the multiple cross
section surveys are constant throughout the
years.
The spatial matching of the (future)
beneficiaries with the PSU, using the address
of the future beneficiaries. Matching procedure
will define the comparison group in the same
PSU.
Additional questions on participation in the
Social Programme should be added to the
National Survey.

Spatial Matching of Administrative
Records with National Household Survey
National Panel Surveys:
The matching of (future) beneficiaries
with the Panel subjects. The beneficiaries
will constitute a sub-sample of the of the
panel subjects.
Matching procedures, among the Panel
subjects, such as PSM will define the
comparison group at the baseline survey
(for the evaluation purpose). The
frequency of the interviews will follow the
same schedule of the larger project.
