Goals and objectives are primarily for funders and grant applications

Our programs would be improved by modifying them based on evaluation data

The extra time and costs required to implement scientifically proven programs greatly outweigh the benefits

Program staff often know whether a program is working well without having to do a formal evaluation

Implementing a program that is mismatched with the values of the local community will lead to poor implementation and outcomes

Time spent writing out all the activities of a program on a timeline could be better spent on implementation

We could better achieve our mission by devoting resources to regularly gathering information about the teen pregnancy prevention needs of the community

Funding is available for a teen pregnancy prevention program that produces positive results.

Changing programs based on evaluation data will likely cause problems

When implementing new programs we would benefit from only choosing ones that are scientifically proven

Given all the time constraints on staff, formal evaluations of programs are not critical to do

It is likely that a successful teen pregnancy prevention program will continue to receive funding with little effort

Programs should be changed over time if evaluation data says so

Resources (e.g., staff time, funds) devoted to data collection to understand the teen pregnancy prevention needs of our community could be better spent elsewhere

Staff should only implement program activities that can be linked to our goals and objectives

Using measurable objectives in the planning process is a step that must be taken in order to demonstrate our success

Before implementing programs, it is important to critically assess whether we have adequate resources/ capacity to implement the program (e.g., number of staff, staff training, technical resources, program budget)

39. Imagine that your team is thinking about implementing a new program in your community. For the tasks listed below, please rate each item on a scale of 1 to 5 based on how much assistance you think that you and your team would need in order to complete each task. A rating of 1 indicates the need for a great deal of assistance, while a rating of 5 indicates the ability to complete the task without any assistance.


Task

A great deal of assistance needed

1

2

Some assistance needed

3

4

No assistance needed

5

Develop program goals for your new activity

Assess how well your new program activity will fit within other existing program activities offered to the same target population

Define a target population for your new activity

Measure participant satisfaction

Evaluate the activity to ensure that it is meeting goals and objectives by analyzing and interpreting data

Identify those who will be responsible for each task

Specify the amount of change expected in your objectives

Assess community strengths in programming by examining existing resources such as existing programs and availability of volunteers

Determine if an existing evidence-based program would meet your goals and objectives

Examine how the new program will fit with the values of your organization

For each program activity, measure how well the implementation followed the original program design (i.e., fidelity)

Ensure that all new program activities are linked to the goals and objectives by using a logic model

Determine if any evidence-based programs are applicable to your target population

Assess the causes and underlying risk factors for teen pregnancy in your community

Assess whether there are adequate resources to implement the new program (e.g., number of staff, staff training, technical resources, funding)

Create timelines for completing all program tasks

Develop a budget that outlines the funding required for each program activity

Develop a plan to sustain the program if it is successful (i.e., determine future funding sources)

Use results from an evaluation to improve program delivery the next time it is offered

40. Listed below are the same tasks from question 26. Place a check by those tasks for which your team would like technical assistance or training in the next 12 months.
