A collaborative effort of service providers, public and private funders
and evaluators who serve children and families in Wisconsin through a variety
of home visitation programs. In order to strengthen their advocacy efforts,
home visitation program directors recognized the need to develop common
evaluation methods to assess their level of success in supporting families
in Wisconsin. The goal of this project is to provide a common outcome measurement
process and support its use in home visitation programs throughout Wisconsin.
Outcome measurement has emerged as a critical component of nonprofit community-based
service provision. By providing the tools for effective program evaluation,
the project seeks to improve the quality and accountability of home visitation
