SUMMARY:Beyond the Numbers: Data Storytelling for Continuous Quality Improvement
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nApril 28\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nApril 30\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 28\, to learn more about practical approaches for demonstrating program impact by combining quantitative data\, qualitative insights\, and partner/community input. Participants will explore how to use data not only for reporting\, but also to communicate results in a way that supports shared decision-making and continuous quality improvement (CQI). The session will highlight simple strategies for aligning data collection with program goals and translating findings into clear\, action-oriented messages for different audiences. \nThe Thursday\, April 30 coaching session will support participants in applying learning session concepts to a real program question or decision. Participants will be invited to complete a brief pre-session reflection as “homework” to identify one priority program objective\, two simple data points\, and one qualitative prompt to bring into the session. During coaching\, participants will refine their evaluation/CQI question\, draft a short data story outline\, and identify one feasible next step to strengthen how data are used to guide improvement and communicate results. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the learning session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how quantitative and qualitative data can be combined to communicate a fuller picture of program impact.\nApply a basic data storytelling structure to frame findings in accessible and decision-relevant ways.\nIdentify practical methods for aligning data collection with program objectives and CQI priorities.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to:   \n\nTranslate a real program objective or decision into a focused evaluation or CQI question. \nIdentify a minimal set of quantitative and qualitative data inputs that support interpretation and action. \nDraft a brief data story outline and select one realistic next step for strengthening data use in routine practice. \n\nThis event is open to individuals working in HHS Regions 9 or 10: AZ\, CA\, HI\, NV\, AS\, MP\, FM\, GU\, MH\, PW\, AK\, ID\, OR\, or WA. \n\nFacilitators: \n \nKristi Silva\, MA\, MS\, and Chidinma Ogojiaku\, MPH\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)

SUMMARY:Measuring What Matters in Peer Support Programs
DESCRIPTION:Measuring What Matters in Peer Support Programs is a learning session designed to help peer specialists\, program leads\, supervisors\, and organizations feel more confident and clear about how to approach evaluation in ways that reflect the values of peer support. Rather than focusing on complex or overly clinical methods\, this session views evaluation as a practical tool for learning\, reflection\, and telling the story of peer work. \nParticipants will explore ways to identify and measure outcomes that truly reflect peer support\, such as hope\, connection\, empowerment\, and community. The session will walk through how to select evaluation approaches that are both meaningful and manageable\, while remaining grounded in lived experience. We’ll also discuss how programs can use what they learn from evaluation to strengthen services\, advocate for resources\, and demonstrate the impact of their work to partners and funders. \nThis learning session is designed for peer specialists\, program leads\, supervisors\, evaluators\, and others who support or manage peer support programs. By the end of the session\, participants will be able to identify outcomes that reflect peer support values\, match those outcomes to practical evaluation measures\, and use evaluation findings to support reflection and continuous improvement in their programs.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Numbers: Data Storytelling for Continuous Quality Improvement
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nApril 28\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nApril 30\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 28\, to learn more about practical approaches for demonstrating program impact by combining quantitative data\, qualitative insights\, and partner/community input. Participants will explore how to use data not only for reporting\, but also to communicate results in a way that supports shared decision-making and continuous quality improvement (CQI). The session will highlight simple strategies for aligning data collection with program goals and translating findings into clear\, action-oriented messages for different audiences. \nThe Thursday\, April 30 coaching session will support participants in applying learning session concepts to a real program question or decision. Participants will be invited to complete a brief pre-session reflection as “homework” to identify one priority program objective\, two simple data points\, and one qualitative prompt to bring into the session. During coaching\, participants will refine their evaluation/CQI question\, draft a short data story outline\, and identify one feasible next step to strengthen how data are used to guide improvement and communicate results. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the learning session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how quantitative and qualitative data can be combined to communicate a fuller picture of program impact.\nApply a basic data storytelling structure to frame findings in accessible and decision-relevant ways.\nIdentify practical methods for aligning data collection with program objectives and CQI priorities.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to:   \n\nTranslate a real program objective or decision into a focused evaluation or CQI question. \nIdentify a minimal set of quantitative and qualitative data inputs that support interpretation and action. \nDraft a brief data story outline and select one realistic next step for strengthening data use in routine practice. \n\nThis event is open to individuals working in HHS Regions 9 or 10: AZ\, CA\, HI\, NV\, AS\, MP\, FM\, GU\, MH\, PW\, AK\, ID\, OR\, or WA. \n\nFacilitators: \n \nKristi Silva\, MA\, MS\, and Chidinma Ogojiaku\, MPH\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)
