The investigators will expand BSPan's reach and sustainability by systematizing how to enable counties to assume responsibility for one or two of the components while Moncrief/uTSW continues to provide centralized financial review and reimbursement as the Texas BCCS contractor. The investigators will prospectively identify which counties have the necessary program capacity, then test whether implementation of BSPan tailored to a county's capacity and local needs can lead to equivalent program success in an additional 12 rural counties. Findings will be used to develop a model by which BSPan benefits can be brought to rural communities across the country.
The investigators will use a readiness assessment criteria (RaC) to gauge county capacity and readiness for BSPan program implementation. The goal of our evaluation is to demonstrate whether a regional decentralized delivery (hub-and-spoke) model can be sustained and increase program reach to underserved rural women. The RaC tool serves two purposes: 1) to determine county capacity and 2) harness program data to facilitate communication during operations between a central BSPan hub and each county partner (spokes).
Our evaluation will analyze county training and implementation of BSPan program components, and comprehensive screening processes of the hub and spoke model. The investigators will use county site visits and selected interviews of participants and staff to gain insight into factors at the participant and county levels that facilitate adoption and implementation of comprehensive screening processes, in conjunction with key quantitative metrics and process outcomes.
The investigators will apply the Glasgow Re-aiM model to guide our evaluation of BSPan program component implementation in each county. Re-aiM specifies dimensions at the participant and organizational levels. Dimensions are defined as the intervention's: 1) Reach into the target population, 2) effectiveness in modifying risk, 3) adoption by target settings, 4) consistent implementation, and 5) Maintenance of its effects among participants and target settings. our mixed-methods approach will enable focus at both the individual and organizational levels and has been successfully used to assess other similar screening and health promotion programs.

We will prospectively identify which counties have the necessary program capacity, then test whether implementation of BSPAN tailored to a county's capacity and local needs can lead to equivalent program success in an additional 12 rural counties (BSPAN2 total= 17 counties). Findings will be used to develop a model by which BSPAN benefits can be brought to rural communities across the country. |

| Survey items measuring delivery of comprehensive mammography services and appropriate follow-up for women in rural and underserved counties. | We will use NVivo 9.0 (QSR International, Melbourne AUS) to collate and analyze data from site visits notes, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. NVivo, a well-respected qualitative data analysis software program, makes the analysis process transparent so that investigators can track their evolving analysis. Led by Drs. Lee and Inrig, the evaluation team and their staff will organize these codes into a codebook that relates data to behavioral and organizational theory. Regular meetings will enable the BSPAN evaluation team to test emergent themes and interpretation against the knowledge base of experts in clinical medicine (e.g. Argenbright), organizational behavior (Inrig, Lee), and screening behavior (Tiro). Cross-analysis of data from all sources will allow us to conduct an integrated analysis across BSPAN components to assess key steps and interface of mammography screening and appropriate follow-up. | 3 years |
