Program Evaluation Plan The primary objectives of the evaluation plan are as follows: • To monitor and describe program components and activities • To measure the impact of domestic violence services. • To provide administrators with prompt feedback of preliminary and formative evaluation results to determine if adequate progress is being made toward project objectives. Process Evaluation The process evaluation will document what takes place in each component of the program. This approach will describe the amount and types of services rendered as well as describe members of the target population who receive these services. The process evaluation involves the collection of data utilizing quantitative (to determine the amount of services and to whom) and qualitative (to describe the nature and setting of the services provided) methods. Quantitative methods will include reviewing and extracting numerical data from program records, attendance sheets, and planning documents. Qualitative methods include staff interviews, participant interviews/surveys, and observational data gathered by the evaluation team. Outcome Evaluation The outcome evaluation will document the effectiveness of the Interval House advocates providing services. It will answer specific questions regarding the effectiveness of the program and its ability to achieve the stated objectives. The outcome evaluation will focus on measuring the extent to which the program has had an impact on domestic violence victims and the surrounding community Measurement Instruments The Evaluation staff in conjunction with Interval House staff will develop data collection instruments. Meetings will be held with Interval House staff to determine the attitudes and perceptions they want to measure, as well as specific knowledge about domestic violence to be assessed. Data collection will be conducted and managed by the Project staff and evaluation team. Regular meetings will be conducted between program staff and the evaluation team to discuss data collection efforts, study design, the evaluation process, to ensure consistent communication, and to determine changes that may need to be implemented.
