Overview:
The Every Block a Village Online (EBVOnline) program received Telecommunication and Information Infrastructure Assistance Program (TIIAP) funding to use Web TV technology to organize and inform the community about health related issues. CURL guided the participatory evaluation of this process. The team developed baseline measures, participated in leadership training, and assessed the project’s progress.
Outcome:
Recognized as a unique strategy at Harvard University’s Health and Internet conference in May, 2000; named one of six “Models that Work” in a national competition conducted by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration. A report was written, entitled “Every Block a Village Online Analysis.”
