Summary Impact Story

The Summary Impact Story is an opportunity for your team to share a synthesized, publishable story about your Applied Health Leadership Project (AHLP) and its impact on/ with your community thus far. We have created a template to assist your team in summarizing the major details about your Applied Health Leadership Project to highlight the impacts you have made thus far. The template is made up of two pages: 

Page One

This page will include details about your team members, target population, partners and stakeholders, the main problem you sought to address during the program year, what challenges you faced and solutions you came up with, and what the impacts have been. 

Page Two (optional)

On this page, your team will have the option to share several photos from your year in LAPH. The photos are situated so that you may also include captions. If your team does not have or does not wish to share photos, you may simply leave this page blank.  

 

Get the template

Please refer to the Guidance Questions & Tips section below for detailed instructions on how to complete the Summary Impact Story template.

Challenges & solutions

Impacts

What progress has been made and what project outcomes have been achieved?

  • What data do you have to demonstrate progress made? 

  • What data do you have to demonstrate achievements and impacts?  

  • Progress can also be related to partner/stakeholder relationships, team dynamics, or community relationships. 

Refer to the Outcomes & Indicators section of your Big Picture Tool and the Got Data? Tool for these questions.

What impacts have you observed in your community?

  • How are these impacts attributed to your AHLP? 

  • How are these impacts related to the primary population health issue your project sought to address? 

  • What data do you have to show these impacts have occurred?  

Consider revisiting the NLAPH learning model to reflect on how learnings from the program have shaped your AHLP approach and lead to impacts observed in your community.

How did learnings from the LAPH program impact your stakeholder/partner relationships?

  • How have partner and stakeholder relationships changed or grown over the program year? 

  • Are there groups you are working with now that you haven’t worked with before or in a different capacity than you were working with before?  

Review your Network Map and the NLAPH learning model to reflect on how learnings from the program have shaped your approach to stakeholder and partner relationships. 

Most content in this section should be related to measurements captured during program year.

How can you visually communicate information about your project?

Some ideas for photos to share on this page include:  

  • A team group photo 

  • Your team in action working on your project, attending a coalition meeting, working with partners, etc. 

  • A photo of your community or the population you served 

  • Photos that illustrate the impact of your project

Whenever possible, please use high quality photos. This will enhance the impact of your story-telling.

Writing captions

Please write short but detailed captions that describe what is going on in the photo.

Getting consent to take and share photos

It’s always best practice to ask permission to take and share a photo of someone. Taking pictures of groups of people in public spaces and at events typically don’t require consent.

Adding photos to the template

Crop and save photos before adding to the template. Matching the orientation of the placeholder boxes will give the best results.
