Evaluating Your Efforts

This conference call will focus on how to evaluate your SPF SIG substance abuse prevention strategies. Presented by Sarah Goan from Hornby Zeller Associates, the session will first provide an overview of the key components contained in OSA’s newly released “Guide to Evaluation and Planning” (visit http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/osa/prevention/community/spfsig/documents/guide/SPFEvalGuide.pdf for a downloadable version). The session will also explore how to use data and review existing data sources and resources that are available at the sub-state level. Last, we will talk about how evaluation closes the SPF SIG loop, leading into a new cycle of needs assessing, planning and implementing. The session will close with an interactive Q & A session about forming evaluation questions, selecting measures, relating them to the strategies you are implementing and how participants have used evaluation and data to help sustain their prevention efforts.
