Evaluation

Formative (process) and summative (outcome/learning) evaluation methods track progress, achievement and change within each of the four functional areas.

• Process Evaluation
  The process evaluation measures the implementation, operation and effectiveness of the functional areas.
   
• Impact Evaluation
  The impact evaluation measures the change in participants’ knowledge, attitudes or behaviors immediately following an intervention program.
   
• Outcome Evaluation
  The outcome evaluation measures the change in substance use behavior over an extended period; it is an indirect measure of department goals.
