  • Use evaluation data to document impacts on child health and healthcare access in communities
  • Use evaluation data to identify continued need for the program in the community
• Develop tools, trainings, and resources for pediatric professionals, community members, families, state Title V agencies, and other MCH-related programs
• Disseminate program results and findings to the target population, partners, and other stakeholders who might be interested in using the results of the program
