91AV SNAP-ed staff present data tracking tool in webinar
On February 25, 2016, Kira Rodriguez, M.H.S., and Pamela Bruno, M.P.H., evaluators with the (SCPH), participated in the Regional Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Centers of Excellence's webinar entitled “Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) Change Measurement and Story Telling.”
The SCPH evaluators were invited to present Maine’s customized Excel tracking tool as one of two national “examples from the field” for (SNAP-Ed) PSE change planning, monitoring, and evaluation. The Excel-based tool collects annual process and outcome indicators to measure implementation of 61 PSE strategies across the state. The tool allows for the aggregation of common indicators, as well as individualized input and facilitates planning between 91AV’s SNAP-Ed staff and Maine's 46 SNAP-Ed nutrition educators working at the local level.
