Logic Models and Evaluators: Power Tools for Evaluation
Logic Models and Evaluators: Power Tools for Evaluation
Prevention practitioners are doing critical work in their communities, but clearly demonstrating outcomes can be a challenge. This session will help participants to use the tools at their disposal to better measure outcomes and tell the story of their work. Participants will learn how their logic models can help them connect strategies to measurable results and identify the “right” data to collect to demonstrate progress. The session will also explore what it looks like to work with an evaluator, including when to engage one, how to find the right fit, and how to build a strong, collaborative partnership. Whether participants are new to evaluation or looking to refine their approach, they will leave with practical, actionable strategies to capture and communicate impact more effectively.
This webinar builds on the webinar Logic Models Unlocked: Your Blueprint for Prevention Success presented on March 9, 2026. A strong foundational understanding of logic models is necessary as we will discuss evaluation planning and considerations. All registrants are encouraged to have attended the March 9 webinar or viewed the recording available on the Great Lakes PTTC website.
