LDAT evaluation tools
The LDAT Evaluation Tools are guides that help Local Drug Action Teams choose what to measure in their Community Action Plan (CAP) and how to collect the data.
Building evaluation measures into your CAP keeps you focused and lets you check how you went against the goals you set at the start. The full Evaluation Tools are available to LDATs on the LDAT Community Action Plan platform.
