Program evaluations are a cornerstone of our efforts to learn from our work. In any given year, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) conducts between 30 to 40 active program evaluations and invests about 5 percent of our annual grantmaking budget on evaluations. This collection provides examples and insights to RWJF's approach to evaluation.

The American Health Values Survey examined values and beliefs Americans have toward health at both the individual and societal levels.

The Health and Medical Care Archive increases understanding of health and health care in the United States through secondary analysis of RWJF-supported data collections.
