Evaluation

Evaluation is a critical component for LDATs to deliver an activity or program, and needs to be factored in at every stage of delivery, including during your early planning. LDATs will also need to select appropriate process and impact measures when developing their Community Action Plan online. You’ll find more detailed information on effective evaluation measures in our evaluation tools.

The key measurable activities associated with delivering and evaluating activities relating to this stakeholder kit are outlined below. You will need to deliver at least one of these activities and evaluate it using process and impact measures (see the evaluation tools). This will allow you to determine whether or not your LDAT has achieved your intended outcomes. Key activities include:

• Training or workshops

An event that is held for the specific purpose of training community members in a new skill set, and/or delivering a structured presentation aimed at increasing knowledge about risk and/or protective factors associated with an AOD health issue

• Events or forums

One or more planned occasions where community members and/or relevant stakeholders are invited to come together (either face-to-face or virtually) to share ideas, learn new information, and connect with one another over ideas or activities aimed at minimising risk factors and/or increasing protective factors associated with an AOD health issue.

LDATs can access the full versions of the Evaluation toolkits through the LDAT Community Action Plan platform. Log in to the platform through here: Evaluation Tools | ADF Community Hub
