  1. Evaluation of the Indianapolis, Indiana September 2002 – August 2003 Stamp Out Syphilis Coalition

  2. Evaluation Methodology • Participatory session with coalition members to determine key questions. • Interviews with key informants / stakeholders • Survey of coalition members • Focus groups (2): social service professionals / coalition members • Attendance records • Capacity-building session

  3. What made the evaluation successful? • Questions were developed and prioritized by members of the coalition. • Evaluation team members contributed qualitative, quantitative, and coordination expertise. • Data were collected from multiple sources, enabling triangulation. • Use of third-party evaluation team working together with internal leaders and stakeholders.

  4. What challenges were encountered? • More interviews were needed with stakeholders who were instrumental in the initial stages of the coalition. • Focus group of social service professionals was compromised by the scope of the participants who attended. • Attendance data provided a somewhat limited view of coalition involvement. • Internal evaluation capacity-building was difficult to coordinate. • More time needed for stakeholder feedback following data collection and prior to the generation of the final report.

  5. How did the evaluation improve the program? • Increased rigor of goal measurement (including baselines, projections, target dates, indicators, and quarterly reporting protocols) • Additional marketing efforts designed to communicate successes of the coalition on multiple levels. • Increased outreach efforts intended to update key stakeholders in the community on the status of syphilis in the community and the related efforts of the coalition.
