Baseline assessments contained approximately 307 items, though the number of items displayed to respondents depended on skip logic, which was based on position and whether the respondent worked directly with families. Between July 2014 and July 2015, 2,832 participants completed the baseline COHA survey. At follow-up (approximately three years later), three measures from the baseline COHA were dropped and four new measures were added. Follow-up assessments contained approximately 340 items, and the number of items displayed to respondents depended on the same skip logic used in the baseline assessment. Between November 2017 and February 2019, 2,912 participants completed the follow-up assessment. A total of 1,034 participants completed both assessments. Items in the baseline and follow-up COHA covered individual-level factors (burnout, coping strategies, exposure to violence, intent to stay, job satisfaction, job stress, secondary trauma, self-efficacy, and time pressure), unit-level factors (peer support, supervision, professional sharing/support, team cohesion, and shared vision), organization-level factors (inclusivity, leadership, learning culture, organizational climate, organizational bias, physical environment, professional development and preparation for work, readiness for change, and workplace prejudice and discrimination) and community-level factors (public perceptions of child welfare, inter-professional collaboration, and community resources).
