Structured Abstract: “A Descriptive Evaluation of [Intervention Name] in [Geographic Area]”



[In no more than one page, summarize (1) the objectives and key services offered by the program; (2) the main focus of the descriptive study; (3) the number of sites that participated in the study; (4) the number of clients enrolled and the number with complete data for the outcomes study (if applicable); (5) key types of data and size of samples for the implementation study (if applicable); and (6) key conclusions, lessons learned from this work, and notable limitations.]









Descriptive Evaluation of [intervention name] in [geographic area]

I. Introduction

A. Introduction and study overview

[Copy and paste text/Start writing here.]

B. Description of the intended intervention

[Copy and paste text/Start writing here.]

[Tables I.1 and I.2 here]



NOTE: The remainder of this document provides one option for organizing the study methods, data, and findings. For your study, if it makes more sense to structure the report differently please discuss with your ETTA. For example, if you conducted only an outcomes study or only an implementation analysis, either section II or section III below would need to be deleted. As another example, if data and analysis methods differed across research questions, one alternative is to organize the report by research question (present a research question, discuss the data and analysis approach used to address the research question, discuss the findings, then move to the next research question).
