Indicators of change: Meaningful ways to measure success in preventing sexual and domestic violence

Tuesday, April 23, 2013
11 AM to 12:30 PM Pacific Time
(2 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern)

Measuring success throughout your project or strategy is important because it will let you know if you are the right track, and just as valuably, can demonstrate your successes to your collaborators and to your participants. This helps keep the momentum building for preventing sexual and domestic violence. There are 3 different types of indicators that can measure success: process indicators, immediate outcome indicators and short-term outcome indicators. This web conference will look at why short term measures are important to long term success, how these indicators can be used to show your progress and ensure your initiative is on the path to prevention and will explore a process for developing indicators for your project including sample indicators developed for the most common strategies in the field.
