Center for Applied Research in Human Development Title: 2007-09 Process Evaluation Report: Governor's Urban Youth Violence Prevention Grant Summary: This report provides details of a process evaluation that was conducted by the Center for Applied Research in Human Development (CARHD) at the University of Connecticut for the State of Connecticut’s Office of Policy and Management. The evaluation was conducted with 19 youth programs located in urban centers within Connecticut. One of the principal functions of a process evaluation is the use of evaluation data to inform the policies and practices employed by a youth program. The process evaluation that was conducted with Connecticut’s youth programs consisted of several components. First, attendance data were collected from all of the programs involved in the evaluation. Second, data were collected from the youth at the programs on their perceptions of “supports and opportunities” present within the programs. Third, summaries of these perceptions were shared with the directors of the programs, who then worked on an improvement plan. Finally, one year after the initial data were collected, youth were re‐surveyed to determine whether the improvement objectives had been achieved. The improvement plans were developed in consultation with the Youth Development Training and Resource Center (YDTRC) at Yale. Personnel from the YDTRC worked with staff and youth teams from each of the 19 programs to develop specific goals and objectives. They developed implementation strategies for the targeted goals, and they involved both staff and youth in the execution of these strategic attempts to improve the quality of the programming offered through each of the 19 programs. This report consists of several parts: ♦ An overview of the evaluation (Section I); ♦ Description of youth program operation and young people’s attendance data (Section II); ♦ Description of youth across the 19 programs (Section III); ♦ Results of the process evaluation, presented for each program involved in the evaluation (Section IV); ♦ A project summary (Section V).
