Comprehensive initial evaluation of an innovative yearlong population health internship for undergraduates.

Background: The innovative Population Health Internship (PHI) addresses the evolving need for baccalaureate-prepared nurses to achieve population health competency. A comprehensive evaluation of the inaugural year of the PHI was conducted using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health and the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) curricular evaluation model. Students and community agency partners-both key stakeholders-contributed to the evaluation.

The Team Formulation Quality Rating Scale (TFQS): development and evaluation.

Background: Team formulation is a core skill in mental health care, but there is currently no valid tool for assessing the quality of this process.

Aim: The aim of this study was to design and evaluate a new scale, the Team Formulation Quality Scale (TFQS), which assesses both structure and content.

Methods: Experts were asked to assess the relevance and clarity of each item on the TFQS to measure its content and face validity.
