Cancer Program Evaluation

Women's Wellness Connection (WWC) Evaluation Plan

This document describes the five-year evaluation and performance measurement plan for CDPHE’s breast and cervical cancer screening and early detection program. The plan covers the timeframe between June 30, 2022 through June 29, 2027, which corresponds with the program’s CDC award performance period, and will be revised in June 2024.

Breast and Cervical Cancer Evaluation Workgroup

The Breast and Cervical Cancer Evaluation Workgroup exists to provide a forum for information exchange and open discussion between the Women’s Wellness Connection and its partners. The workgroup meets annually or as needed to inform the scope and focus of the evaluation so that findings may be actionable and utilized to improve the program. If you would like to participate in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Evaluation Workgroup, please contact Shannon Lawrence, CDPHE Cancer Evaluator.

Breast and Cervical Cancer Data Resources 

Cancer County Health Index Tool

  • This tool was developed to identify the risk factors for and burden of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer across Colorado. The Cancer County Health Index Tool includes maps to visualize the cancer health index results (i.e. county rankings) while also providing county-level data on the risk factors that influence cancer screening and outcomes. In this way, the Cancer County Health Index Tool allows users to view overall county rankings by cancer type as well as rankings on the individual health topic areas (e.g., Health Behaviors, Clinical Care). Lower rankings (e.g., 64 out of 64) and numerical quadrants (e.g., 49 to 64 group) in the maps reflect counties with greater cancer risk factors or burden.

Colorado Health Information Dataset (COHID)

  • The Colorado Health Information Dataset (CoHID) provides access to state and local-level data and resources compiled by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to help understand health and related issues - including cancer incidence, deaths, and health indicators – affecting people in Colorado.
