Let's Evaluate It!: Recent Episodes
Laura Schwab Reese
Student, Jessie Barton, sits down for a discussion with three staff members at the Indiana State Department of Health: Klaudi Wojciechowsha, Drug Overdose Prevention Program Director, Cassidy Johnson, Nalaxone Program Manager, and Katie Hokanson, Trauma and Injury Prevention Director. The four of them discuss the nationwide opioid epidemic, how it has affected Indiana, how the Indiana State Department of Health has responded to the crisis, and how they are evaluating their response. Klaudia, Cassidy, and Katie point out what we continue to learn through Public Health Evaluations- they're tricky.
This was created by Ashleigh Shields, Prince Adu Gyamfi, and Anureet Sandhu and we interviewed Dr. Jonathon Day from Purdue University. This is for the Public Health Evaluation course with Dr. Laura Schwab Reese.
