At the beginning of this year, our Research and Evaluation team launched the Digging Deeper series. We know that our extensive research reports often leave readers wanting to dive deeper into certain topics—that’s exactly what Digging Deeper aims to do. Here’s a brief recap of what we wrote about in 2024:
In January, we dug into EHF’s annual health policy poll results to explore the longitudinal opinions and views of Texans since 2018, which revealed women’s health as a top priority. Additionally, we used our poll results to understand why 28% of Texan’s indicated that they don’t have access to a primary care provider (PCP).

This year, we also took a deep dive into the “positive deviance approach” with a five-part series to build off of our research report highlighting how listening to communities can find local, effective strategies to food and nutrition security.

These posts provide updates on the evaluation of a community paramedicine intervention we’ve supported in Longview, TX through the Texas Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (TACHI) and insights we’ve learned while exploring one of our new Priorities for Change: Diabetes Prevention.
