(Webinar) Advancing the Use of “Core Components” Approaches: Suggestions for Researchers Publishing Evaluation Results

Washington, D.C., United States,
AIR ISSUP

 

A “core components” approach to evidence-based programming for youth focuses on implementing parts, features, attributes or characteristics of programs shown to be effective, while allowing flexibility in other aspects that can be designed to meet community or population needs.

These approaches rely upon systematic reviews and meta-analyses to identify whether hypothesized core components empirically predict improvement in desired outcomes. Much data that could be instrumental for such testing is not routinely made available through “regular channels” for reporting program evaluation or study results.

This webinar will identify categories of data important to collect and report on that would advance core components approaches. It will also engage audience members in a discussion about how best to incentivize researchers, journal editors and others to make more complete and detailed information available to identify, test, and scale up core components of effective programs.
