Strong Foundations Evaluation is a 5-year process and outcome evaluation of an initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services in collaboration with the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Department of Children and Families. The initiative is intended to strengthen the system of supports for evidenced-based home visitation programs. The evaluation will examine the process and impacts of implementing new coordinating structures, data management systems, training and technical assistance, and public awareness campaigns on state agencies and local programs implementing home visitation programs. It also will look at parent- and child-level outcomes associated with participation in evidenced-based home visitation services.
