Description
The University of Kentucky (UK) Research Foundation shall provide personnel to perform the functions
of a Senior Epidemiologist/Evaluator (full time employee) for the Heart Disease and Stroke Program
(HDSP). This position shall be responsible for the analysis of mortality data, Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) data, population data, hospital discharge data, data from private insurers,
Medicaid and Medicare, and data from various surveys conducted by the Kentucky Department for
Public Health (KDPH) and local health departments (LHD) related to policy and systems change, and
evaluate program initiatives. This position shall also present data to local, state, and national groups.
A vital component of our program is evaluation to document that our state program is achieving our
goals and progressing toward our intended long term outcomes. To ensure sufficient time is devoted to
this aspect of our program we have added an evaluation component to the epidemiologist position.
States are encouraged to use process evaluation methods to (1) evaluate how policy and environmental
strategies were implemented, (2) evaluate the extent to which their program is being implemented as
intended, and (3) determine whether their program is appropriately focusing its CVH efforts, especially
toward priority and disparate populations.
