Introduction Building upon experience gained through the three-year Child Safety Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (CS CoIIN), that concluded in May 2018, the Children’s Safety Network (CSN) has launched the new Child Safety Learning Collaborative (CSLC) to support state Title V agencies to address the high rate of child and adolescent injuries. The CSLC will drive system changes to support the implementation and spread of evidence-informed child safety promotion strategies and programs.
Purpose & Aim The overarching aim of the CSLC is to reduce fatal and serious injuries among infants, children, and adolescents in participating states and jurisdictions by building and improving partnerships and implementing and spreading best practices, especially among the most vulnerable populations. The topic areas for the CSLC are:
1. Bullying Prevention (BP) 2. Motor Vehicle Traffic Safety (Child Passenger and Teen Driver/Passenger) (MVTS) 3. Poisoning Prevention (PP) 4. Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) Prevention (SUIDP) 5. Suicide & Self-Harm Prevention (SSHP)
CSLC states/jurisdictions will implement a coordinated, system-wide approach to injury and violence prevention by sharing the best available scientific knowledge
on the prevention of fatal and non-fatal injuries in these topics and applying quality improvement methods.
Methods Teams participating in the CSLC come together to use the CSN Framework for Quality Improvement and Innovation in Child Safety. The CSN Framework focuses on building public will and state/jurisdiction capacity in key areas essential to achieving sustainable and scalable child safety results. Cornerstones of our approach to capacity and coalition building include:
(1) Identification and use of data-driven, evidence-based strategies and programs, (2) Increased effectiveness of management and leadership, and (3) Ongoing commitment to shared learning and principles drawn from advances in
improvement and implementation sciences. Our Framework is based on evidence-based models and resources and EDC experience providing training and technical assistance to state and jurisdiction departments of public

health, our overall expertise translating research to practice, and our work on the CS CoIIN. We draw on elements from CDC’s Social Ecological Model: A Framework for Prevention; the Prevention Institute’s The Spectrum of Prevention; FSG’s Collective Impact Approach; Associates in Process Improvement’s Model for Improvement and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Breakthrough Series. The following information provides further details about the strategy, events and activities of the CSLC.
Change Packages The CSLC leveraged the knowledge and experiences of the states/jurisdictions from the CS CoIIN. The CSLC change packages are streamlined to include a shared aim statement across all states and jurisdictions working on that child safety topic, select evidence-based strategies and programs, and accompanying meausres. Evidence-based strategies and programs are selected on feasibility for states to implement, on potential for spread throughout a state/jurisdiction, and potential to demonstrate collective impact. Evidence from the CS CoIIN, child safety experts, and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA MCHB) informed the final selection of strategies included in the five change packages.
States/jurisdictions are asked to assess which evidence-based strategies are aligned with their performance measures, priorities, and the populations they need to reach to reduce child injuries. The change packages are informed by the Model for Improvement (MFI), which consists of three fundamental questions: • What are we trying to accomplish? • How will we know that a change is an
improvement? • What changes can we make that will
result in improvement? (Langley, et al., 2009).
These questions focus teams on their common aim statements, measures, and ‘changes’, referred to as evidence-based strategies and programs in the CSLC. The aims are achieved through successful implementation and

spread of evidence-based strategies and programs throughout a state/jurisdiction. The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, discussed further on in this document, is a framework for learning and action as states/jurisdictions implement and spread the strategies and programs (Langley et al., 2009).
Learning Sessions Learning sessions are opportunities for states and jurisdictions across all topic teams to come together to increase their knowledge and skills in child safety, management and leadership, and improvement science. Learning sessions may be virtual or in-person. A typical learning session includes:
• Development and sharing of a storyboard which describes state and jurisdiction progress on implementation and spread of strategies and programs, lessons learned, and next steps for continued improvement;
• Presentations from experts and exemplar state and jurisdiction teams; • A review of what the CSLC has achieved to date and where it is going.
Team Building
State Strategy Teams State strategy teams are composed of key staff and external partners who are working on a given topic area. Strategy team members are tasked with implementing and spreading evidence-based strategies and programs from the change packages, reporting monthly data, and participating in CSLC activities, including learning sessions, topic calls that foster cross-state and jurisdiction collaboration in a child safety topic area, technical assistance webinars that build capacity in cross-cutting child safety topics (e.g. populations and settings) and quality improvement. All state strategy team members must have an account on the CSLC web portal. State strategy teams are comprised of multiple partners that are considered integral to the successful implementation and spread of the evidence-based strategies and programs the team is working on. Recruitment to the state strategy seam depends largely on the selected strategies and programs. The nature of some strategies will involve recruitment of sub-teams consisting of front line

workers at pilot sites, such as schools, hospitals, community agencies, other state agencies. The full state strategy seam is also expected to participate on technical assistance webinars on child safety themes and quality improvement to build their capacity.
Topic Teams Topic teams bring together all state and jurisdiction strategy teams working on a select child safety topic (e.g. bullying prevention) .
CSLC topic team calls will occur every other month. During these calls, CSN topic leads will present state strategy team data that was submitted in monthly reports and facilitate a discussion to highlight common themes and work across state strategy teams. State/jurisdiction strategy teams will have the opportunity to hear about what other teams are working on and to learn from one another across state borders.
Action Periods Action periods are the time between learning sessions when strategy teams are asked to partner with pilot sites to implement and spread evidence-based strategies and programs. During the action periods, CSN staff provides support to strategy teams through technical assistance on the use of PDSAs, application of quality improvement methods and tools to support implementation and spread, and data collection and reporting. Training and technical assistance is provided through:

• CSLC topic calls; • State technical assistance webinars (open to all Title V agencies, not just CSLC); and, • technical assistance calls and e-mails with CSN staff and child safety topic experts on an as-
needed basis.
Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycles The PDSA cycle, a core component of the Model for Improvement, is a framework for learning and action as teams develop, test, implement, and spread evidence-based strategies and programs. Core components of a PDSA cycle are to identify questions the team wants to answer, make predictions, and then:
1. Develop a plan (Plan), 2. Carry out the plan (Do), 3. Observe and learn from the results (Study), 4. Determine next steps in the plan (Act).
It is often necessary to run several PDSA cycles to successfully test, implement, and spread strategies and programs under a wide number of conditions (e.g. different demographics, organizational settings, geographic regions, etc.)
Monthly Reports Strategy Teams are expected to report qualitative and quantitative data monthly. Each report will include:
• Measures that indicate what strategies and programs are being implemented and spread and how well they are being implemented and spread (found in the CSLC change packages)
• Strategy team notes on monthly activities, key successes, lessons learned, challenges, and next steps
The monthly reports help the strategy teams and the CSN topic facilitators assess progress towards achieving the topic teams’ common aims. The monthly reports also provide an opportunity for feedback from the CSN topic lead, who reviews each strategy team’s report each month. Monthly reports for should be uploaded on the CSLC web portal on or before the first Tuesday of every month (e.g. January’s monthly report is due on or before the first Tuesday of February).

Special Considerations for CS CoIIN Participants State strategy teams that participated in the CS CoIIN may address similar topics in the CSLC. Team members may have the same roles and expectations as they did in CS CoIIN. Because these teams may have already been formed, have been trained in QI, and have started testing, implementing, and spreading their strategies and programs, they may be further along in the trajectory than new teams. All teams, regardless of any previous work in the CS CoIIN, are required to attend the orientation webinar, as the structure of the CSLC, expectations, and working periods are different.
CS CoIIN CSLC
Topic Teams • No limit on number of selected topics
• States are limited to two topics per cohort
Monthly Calls • Alternating months of topic calls and technical assistance calls that focused on cross cutting themes (e.g. populations and settings) and quality improvement

Glossary of Terms Action Period: The period of time between learning sessions when state strategy teams work on implementing evidence-based strategies and programs from the the Child Safety Learning Collaborative (CSLC) change packages . During the action periods, teams are supported by CSN staff and faculty, and they are connected to other CSLC state strategy teams through topic calls.
Aim Statement: A written, measurable, and time-sensitive statement of the expected results of an improvement process.
Change Package: The list of essential process, programmatic, or policy changes that will help lead to breakthrough improvement. Each topic area has a change package, which includes the CSLC topic strategies and measures. It is developed by CSN staff and faculty and based on data, literature, evidence-informed practice, and professional experience.
Charter: A document to describe and launch the CSLC, establishing a common vision and structure for the work.
Collaborative: A time-limited effort (usually 6 to 12-18 months) in which multiple organizations come together with faculty to learn about and to create improved processes in a specific topic area. The expectation is that the teams share expertise and data with each other, thus, “Everyone learns, everyone teaches.”
Develop a strategy: Developing a strategy involves preparation for altering how work or activity gets accomplished. Detail around who, what, when, where, and how is needed. A PDSA cycle for developing a strategy could focus on developing relationships among agencies and buy-in and commitment to the work, planning for data collection, and preparing activities prior to testing a strategy.
Implement a strategy: The goal of implementing a strategy is to make it a permanent part of your the organization. Only strategies tested under a wide variety of conditions, that demonstrate improvement, should be implemented. Implementing a strategy often requires creation of support systems, policies, procedures, trainings, and new job descriptions.
Leadership Team: The state/jurisdiction health officers, maternal and child health directors and injury and violence prevention directors who have committed to participate in the CSLC.
Learning Session: In-person or virtual meetings during which all members of the CSLC come together to learn about quality improvement methods, including how to implement and spread strategies, approaches for accelerating improvement, and methods for overcoming obstacles to change. State strategy teams leave these meetings with new knowledge, skills, and materials that prepare them to make immediate changes.
Measures: Included in the change packages and reported monthly using real-time data.
Child Safety Learning Collaborative
17
Model for Improvement: This model consists of two parts: First, addressing the following three fundamental questions: 1) What are we trying to accomplish? 2) How will we know if a change is an improvement? And, 3) What changes can we make that will result in improvement? And second, engaging in tests of change through PDSA cycles (Langley et al., 2009).
Monthly Report: Data collection on the measures selected by a state strategy team, as well as a progress report consisting of open-ended questions. These data are entered directly into the CSLC web portal.
Organizations: In the change packages , “organizations” is sometimes used as a catch all term for agencies, departments, coalitions, systems, institutions etc.
PDSA Cycle: A framework to develop, test, implement, and spread a strategy through a planned learning process . For the CSLC, the PDSA cycle consists of the following questions and sections:
• Contextual information: o What strategy the cycle relates to o The objective of the cycle as a statement and a phase (develop, test, implement
spread; see glossary for further clarification) • Plan:
o Tasks, who is responsible, location where it occurs, due date o Prediction: What you believe the result of the PDSA cycle will be. o Measurement for determining whether or not the prediction made in the PDSA cycle
was a success • Do:
o What happened when the plan was carried out • Study:
o An analysis of the prediction made in the PDSA cycle that often includes quantitative and qualitiative data
• Act: o Make a decision to:
Adapt your approach: start the cycle over again with a slightly different plan that incorporates what you learned during this cycle
Adopt your approach: begin using your approach systematically, and in different conditions (e.g. with different populations, in different geographic settings, etc.), because your PDSA cycle demonstrated it was successful
Abandon your approach: a decision to stop doing the work the way you had planned, because learning through the PDSA cycle indicates it is ineffective
Pilot Sites: Local organizations (e.g. schools, hospitals, community agencies, home visiting programs, local health departments) where state strategy teams test, implement, and spread strategies through the use of PDSA cycles. Data is collected from the work taking place at pilot sites and submitted in monthly reports.
Child Safety Learning Collaborative
18
Population of Interest: In the measurement guidance in the change packages, population of interest could refer to organizations, program sites, individuals you are educating, and/or training recipients you plan to work with .
Pre-work: A packet of materials distributed to CSLC state and jurisdiction strategy teams and CSLC faculty prior to learning collaborative meetings to prepare participants for the work of the learning collaborative. Materials may include pertinent readings, requests for state and jurisdiction level information (e.g., state/jurisdiction plans, baseline data, etc.), instructions to prepare state and jurisdiction level data presentations, etc.
Progress Scale: Informed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Assessment Scale for BTS Collaboratives, 2004, the CSLC Progress Scale is a 5-point scale through which state strategy teasms and CSN topic leads and improvement advisors mark the progress a state strategy team has made in their work. It is used on a monthly basis and consists of the following points:
• 1.0: Forming a team and planning for the project: Team is formed and aim is determined. Scanning the environment and obtaining necessary data to focus the work is complete.
• 1.5: Focusing the work: Strategies and measures are selected. • 2.0: Partnerships formed: Partnerships across agencies and engagement with frontline
workers established. • 2.5: Testing changes: Components of the CSLC change packages are tested. • 3.0: Data submitted: One or more CSLC measures reported. • 3.5: Progress: One or more CSLC measures moving in the right direction. • 4.0: Improvement: Evidence of a shift or trend in at least one or more CSLC measures. • 4.5: Increasing improvement in process measures and planning for spread: Evidence of
spread in at least one or more CSLC measures. • 5.0: Significant improvement: Improvement toward the aim statement.
Spread a strategy: Spread is the intentional and systematic expansion of the number and type of people, units, or organizations using the strategy. Communication that the strategy addresses an existing problem and evidence of the advantage of use of the strategy over the status quo facilitates sustainable adoption of the strategy. (Source: Langley et al., 2009 & Rogers, 1995)
Spread: The intentional and systematic expansion of the number and type of people, units, or organizations using the strategies. More information on the theory and application of spread can be found in Diffusion of Innovation (Everett Rogers, 1995).
Staff and Partners: Members of a Strategy Team representing the pilot sites and partner organizations involved in strategy implementation.
Strategy: A specific, identifiable strategy or program, based on evidence that can lead to improvement.
Strategy Team: Strategy teams are composed of state/jurisdiction representatives and state/jurisdiction leadership team members. They focus on one of the topics of the CSLC. One
Child Safety Learning Collaborative
19
strategy team will be formed for each of the topic areas on which the state/jurisdiction chooses to work. For example, if the state/jurisdiction participates on 2 topic teams, they will have 2 strategy teams, which may or may not overlap in membership. Each strategy team must have a point of contact, data manager and project coordinator (see the Roles section, pg 7). Generally, between 3 and 5 staff and partners from each state/jurisdiction will be on a strategy team, although there can be more. State/jurisdiction team members are recruited by the leadership team. These team members will come from relevant state/jurisdiction departments or programs (such as departments of transportation, school health programs, substance abuse treatment programs, etc.). Team members will work with colleagues in their state/jurisdiction to implement strategies from the change packages. Pre-existing work groups, coalitions, committees, or subcommittees are welcome join the strategy team.
Team Meetings: A meeting of all the individuals involved in the CSLC state strategy team for a particular state/jurisdiction. You can request to have CSN staff or faculty join this type of meeting.
Test a strategy: Once a strategy is developed, it should be tested and refined, with as few resources and as little risk as necessary to attain learning. Strategies are tested through small-scale trials of new approaches or processes. Strategies should be tested under a wide variety of conditions and refined to fit the organization and the people it serves. When an unpredicted result is obtained, this is not viewed as failure. The success of testing a strategy is to learn whether the strategy resulted in improvement.
Test: A small-scale trial of a new approach or a new process. A test is designed to learn if the strategy results in improvement and to fine-tune the change to fit the organization and the people it serves. Tests are carried out using one or more PDSA cycles.
Topic Area: The types of injuries and causes of injuries addressed through the CSLC: Bullying Prevention; Motor Vehicle Traffic Safety; Poisoning Prevention; Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention; and SUIDs Prevention.
Topic Team: Each CSLC topic area will be addressed through a cross-state/jurisdiction team. This team is called a topic team, and it will be composed of state strategy teams from each of the participating states/jurisdictions. Topic team members support one another in quality improvement learning and in the implementation of the topic change package. States/jurisdictions are expected to participate in a maximum of 2 new topic teams per cohort.
Topic Team Meetings: Virtual meetings of the CSLC state strategy teams that provide in-depth focus and support on CSLC topic areas as they relate to quality improvement and implementation of the change package. During these meetings, state strategy teams learn from one another about their PDSA cycles and how they have achieved improvement, and they work together to accelerate change.

Teams will get an orientation to the new CSLC Web Portal, how to submit monthly data and update their team membership or other information. The webinar will also address the structure of the CSLC, the concept of ‘collective impact’ and prepare teams to begin selecting common strategies and measures.
Learning Session February 28 – March 1, 2019 in Waltham, Massachusetts During this interactive meeting, participants will:
• Delve deeper into seminal quality improvement concepts • Identify areas ripe for improvement and strategies to accelerate implementation and spread • Learn about systems thinking and building a portfolio of improvement • Explore new options for data and develop strategies for collecting real-time data
The Learning Session will bring states and jurisdictions together to examine their initial efforts in the Learning Collaborative and how to apply quality improvement and systems thinking to accelerate their efforts. Teams will receive guidance on identifying and utilizing new data sources, identifying areas ripe for improvement and applying systems thinking to enhance their collective impact. Note: States and jurisdictions that participated in the CS CoIIN may not need to recruit key participants for their state strategy team(s) and instead can leverage the team(s) they already built during the CS CoIIN.
