S2E10 Improving the Way We Measure Impact
Description
Measuring the impact of violence prevention interventions is an incredibly important part of the process, as it allows us to understand what works and what doesn’t. But can the way we assess outcomes be improved?
In this episode we learn about the “any” versus “no” metric we often use in our field to measure outcomes - and the limitations of this binary approach. We discover new, more nuanced measurements that can be used to paint a more complete picture about the effectiveness of interventions. And we learn just how dramatically our understanding of impact can change by simply altering the way we interpret the data.
