Surveys
The YD is committed to implementing realistic monitoring and evaluation plans so we can assess our programs’ effectiveness and improve upon them as needed. Over the past year we administered long-form surveys, the result of a year-long strategic plan, measuring the well-being of seniors involved in our programs. While we were able to collect some data (58/170 surveys completed), we discovered that our survey was too long, taking 40 minutes and asking too personal/depressing questions. This information will be used to redraft future surveys.
