Workshop Series: STI Service Integration Into Incarceration Facilities

Part 3: Assessing Impact & Evaluation
The final workshop in the series focused on assessing impact and ongoing evaluation of services being implemented. Participants learned to:

1. Understand the importance of assessing impact of service delivery.
2. Utilize data collection tools to fine tune and expand services.

In this third and final workshop, we heard from Erin Sainato, NCSD’s Senior Manager of Program Evaluation. She outlined the importance of data-driven program planning, basics of evaluating services being implemented into incarceration facilities, and how to harness data you may already have access to fine tune services being provided in IFs. Sonya Khan, NCSD’s Senior Manager of Disease Intervention and DIS also discussed DIS role in assessing impact and communicating trends to advocate for and justify expansion of STI services.
