Evaluation Design, Methods \& Measures: The need for prevention heart disease has led to the growing demand for the evaluation of the program to enhance the program design, determine its weakness and strengths and provide statistical data for stakeholders and researchers to retain interest and support towards this program. A mixed-methods evaluation process will be conducted for this program. A mixedmethods evaluation was considered most appropriate due to the following reasons. First, this HLHP program is currently in the early implementation stage: therefore, a mixed-methods process evaluation will allow for the collection of process data and other data collection on indicators on the food and physical environments which this program is targeting. Second, a mixedmethods approach allows program planners, statisticians, researchers, and stakeholders to have a more comprehensive understanding of heart discase and its related behaviors in our target community of underserved Hispanics/Latinos minority groups. For example, qualitative data such as perceived barriers to accessing fresh fruits and vegetables from focus groups in the community will improve program effectiveness and reach. Quantitative data, such as the number of people utilizing the new or improved walking trails and access to a gym, will provide measurable evidence that the program achieved its goal of improving health status and feasible places to work out. This data is essential for fulfilling the NIH requirement for the next fiscal year's funding. In the HL.HP evaluation, the evaluators collected data via the survey on fruit and vegetable intake and observational data on the frequency of shopping at farmer's markets. This data allowed them to assess how effective the program was for increasing access to healthy foods, and the evaluation determined an increase in fruit and vegetable intake in their target community and increased frequency in shopping at farmer's markets. Thus, a mixed-methods process evaluation will strengthen the HLHP program by measuring the program's fidelity, reach, and dose in underserved Hispanics/Latinos minority groups and will provide evidence of the effectiveness of program implementation and the extent to which program delivery met the program's goals. The study utilized a quasiexperimental design to assess improvements in fruit and vegetable intake, increased purchasing of healthy foods, and an increase in attitudes and concems regarding obesity, diet, and physical activity after one year of intervention. Key findings suggest that community member involvement was critical for improving the food environment and that social marketing was helpful in promoting the intervention and raising awareness of heart disease and health behaviors in rural populations. The HLHP program results further highlight the need for mixedmethods evaluation of heart disease prevention programs in rural areas with a focus on underserved Hispanics/Latinos communities to have a comprehensive understanding of best practices.
