Three evaluations of the CaliforniaSpeaks statewide effort on health care have been combined into one report on the project's impacts and lessons learned. CaliforniaSpeaks involved over 3,500 residents in eight cities, linked by satellite, in a day-long deliberation on August 11, 2007. The research was conducted by three teams of evaluators. Archon Fung (Harvard) and Taeku Lee (Berkeley) studied the effects on participants, Harder + Company Community Research evaluated the effects on policymakers, and Harbage Consulting weighed the impacts on policy outcomes. The full report is available at the AmericaSpeaks web-site.
