*Results Accountability for Proposition 10
Commissions
A Planning Guide for Improving the Well-Being of Young
Children and Their Families
March 2000
This is the latest and best step by
step piece on how to apply the concepts of Results Accountability. California's Proposition 10 will generate over $700 million per
year from new tobacco taxes, all to be invested in the well-being of children
prenatal to age five. This planning guide offers an approach to developing an
action plan to ensure ALL children prenatal to age five enter school healthy and
ready for school. Call the UCLA Center for Healthier Children Families and
Communities 310-825-8042 for information on availability. This paper can be

Converting from Child Time to
Adult Time
April 2000
For all you adults out there, this is a table which converts from child
time
to adult time. For example 3 months for a child (age 2) feels like
5 years
to an adult (age 40). In children's services, procedures often call for
things to happen in 3 or 6 month increments. This may seem short to an adult.
But it's not short for a child. This table could be included in policy material
affecting children where time requirements apply. It could be posted on the
walls of courtrooms. Click here to see Child Time

Modeling the Epidemiology and
Economics of Directly Observed Therapy in Baltimore
April 2000
C. P. Chaulk, M. Friedman, R. Dunning International Journal
of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease 4(3):201-207
This article presents the results of cost-benefit modeling of
direct observed therapy treatment for tuberculosis in Baltimore during the
period 1978 to 1992. Estimated savings in Baltimore from use of this treatment range from
$18.8 to 27.1 million If this analysis is extrapolated to United States
tuberculosis rates during this same period, the hypothetical treatment costs
saved are estimated at $ 1.5 billion. The analysis has potentially
significant implications for the economics of tuberculosis prevention and
treatment worldwide.

Results-Based Decision Making: Getting
from Talk to Action: New Schematic
June 1999
This is a new way to display the results to action thinking
process, first developed in June 1999 for the Prop 10 training in California. It
puts all parts of the process on one page, including population, results,
indicators, data development agenda, baselines, cost of bad results, story behind the curve,
partners, what works, information and research agenda, criteria, action plan and
budget, community service system, and performance measures. It is based on the design of
the Turn the Curve Exercise used in FPSI training, and will be the basis for a Community Planning
Guide now being written. Click here to see the Talk to
Action page.
