Data collection and quarterly reporting is a requirement of PCCD grant-funded programs. The data collection process is essential as it serves multiple purposes. Evidence-based program providers perform data collection processes in order to know that the program is having the desired impact on the children, youth and/or families that the program targets. It also allows for quality assurance and monitoring of the fidelity to the model, ensuring that the program is being delivered in the way it was designed. Lastly, the process allows for program providers to communicate their great impact to key stakeholders across communities, current and future referral sources as well as future funders to sustain programming.
Below is the list of evaluation tools required of PCCD grant-funded projects:
Data Collection
- EPIS CBITS Quarterly Data Collection and Reporting Excel Tool (Pilot-2020)
This tool was designed for PCCD Grantee reporting purposes, but may be useful for any CBITS provider who wishes to compile and complete a simple analysis of their model fidelity and impact.
Screening Tools:
Evaluation Tools:
- Child PTSD Symptom Scale
- Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires
Adherence and Model Fidelity Tool:
You download them from above or you may obtain copies of these tools by contacting the EPIS at 814-863-2568 or epis@psu.edu
Sites are expected to monitor implementation quality and fidelity. Fidelity observations are to be conducted by an observer who has been trained in the CBITS program.
Sites funded by PCCD are required to report quarterly in Egrants utilizing the CBITS Spreadsheet for Outcomes Analysis and PCCD Quarterly Reporting. The evaluation tools and spreadsheet provide analyzed data from all of the evaluation tools.
EPIS is available to help sites develop an evaluation strategy for the CBITS Program at (814) 863-2568 or EPIS@psu.edu.
