Outcome Data

Outcome Goal Areas: Early Childhood and Child Abuse – Child development– Child health– Parenting/family

functioning– Child stability and

welfare

Outcome Goal Areas: After-School and Mentoring

– School attendance– School behavior– Academic

achievement– Developmental assets

Outcome Data Limitations

• The data we are reporting are descriptive, not causative.

• Many data points provide information on progress made while children are enrolled.

• Percentages reported apply only to the portion of programs tracking the outcome and those clients who met a participation threshold.

• 6,644 of the children served (45%) met participation thresholds set by grantees for outcome tracking.

Early Childhood and Child Abuse Program Data

• Grantees needed technical assistance in data collection and reporting.

• Gathering Data: Technical Assistance Project with Portland State University.

• After TA, grantees more effective in data collection and reporting

• Data collection and reporting still time consuming and costly for grantees.

Child Development

• 82% of children screened met developmental milestones.

• 18% who were not on track made progress on meeting milestones while enrolled. 90% of these children were referred to additional services.

• Children screened showed the most risk in language/ communication development.

Child Health

• 95% of children screened for current immunizations were up to date.

• 87% of children were screened for health and wellness needs.

Parenting and Family Functioning

• 90% of vulnerable children experienced an increase in stability.

After-School and Mentoring Program Data

• PPS, David Douglas, Reynolds and Centennial School Districts all provided data on academic achievement variables.

• PPS also provided data on attendance, behavior variables, and progress on grades.

State Standards(PPS Only)

• Of the students who were not meeting state standards in reading, 33% moved to a higher performance category.

Outcome Data Analysis

• Technical assistance is necessary when grantees must gather, analyze and report data.

• Programs need money, time, and expertise dedicated to program reporting and evaluation.

• Need for strategies to increase level of participation in programs.

Considerations for the Future

• Need for common intermediate outcomes for after-school and mentoring programs.

• CHIF would need to provide technical assistance to help after-school and mentoring programs to collect, analyze and report data on intermediate outcomes.

• CHIF should provide ongoing technical assistance to early childhood and child abuse prevention programs for producing high quality program reports.

• SUN system task force is considering joint evaluation strategies.
