| Formative Evaluation – determination of risk, target audience, intervention, and program objectives, and the methods used for the evaluation. | Little to no description of risk, target audience, intervention, program objectives, or methods used. | Some, but not all, of the risk, target audience, intervention, program objectives, and methods used are described. | Risk, target audience, intervention, and program objectives are sound and all are included but the evaluation method is not explained. | Risk, target audience, intervention, and program objectives are sound and all are included as well as the methods used to make the determinations. |
| Process Evaluation – analysis of the program’s development, strategy, and implementation; how they addressed the findings of the formative evaluation. | Actions taken are not documented or none are measurable. | Some, but not all, of the actions taken, resources used, and accomplishments are measurable or well documented. | Actions taken, resources used, and accomplishments are measurable and are documented so that another agency can duplicate the program. | The reasoning, actions, barriers, solutions, resources, and accomplishments are measurable and documented so that another agency can duplicate the program. |
| Impact Evaluation – changes to knowledge, behavior, resources, response, etc. | No changes were made or identified. | Changes were partially documented, though perhaps not in a very measurable way. | Changes were documented and measurable. | Changes were well-documented, measurable, and significant in leading to risk reduction. |
| Outcome Evaluation – long-term proof of risk reduction. There is evidence of effectiveness for change or risk reduction. |
No known outcomes, no outcomes address long-term reduction to injury, death, or economic loss, or too little time for long-term evaluation. Knowledge-only change in plan, outcome, and/or impacts. |
Weak outcomes but they are associated with common risk reduction long-term goals. Accomplished goals that are associated with risk reduction. |
Proof of long-term reduction to injury, death, or economic losses. Perhaps not enough time has passed but the initial numbers are promising. Addressed positive changes to behavior, environment, or process. |
Strong proof of long-term reduction to injury, death, or economic losses. Proved a reduction of loss of life, injury, or resource use. |
