Youth Experience Survey Data and Shared Priorities

11 Risk factors are predictors of problem outcomes Protective factors buffer against risk factors The Youth Experiences Survey (YES) Measures Youth Well-Being Outcomes, Risk Factors and Protective Factors Many negative youth outcomes share certain risk factors in common. YES data help to create a portrait: a starting point for setting priorities

12 YES Data Collection Methodology

13 YES Well-Being Outcomes

14 YES Risk Factors

15 YES Protective Factors

16 Shared Priorities Identified by the Community Board

Tested, Effective Programs* Good Behavior Game Olweus Bullying Prevention Program Guiding Good Choices Reading Recovery Coping Power Program Multi-Systemic Therapy Children’s priority needs and strengths can be matched to a database of proven programs Academic Failure Family management Antisocial Peers Favorable Attitudes Towards Antisocial Behavior Low Perceived Risk of Drug Use Elevated Risk Factors * Random assignment evaluation or multiple comparison group evaluations

How do the priorities selected by the community board align with the current priorities of our agency? How could the collaborative work to implement tested, effective programs in Evidence2Success contribute to progress toward our priorities? 18 Discussion

FUND-MAPPING DATA ANALYSIS

20 Which of our agency’s investments are most aligned with the priorities identified by the community board in the YES data? Are we getting what we want from the funding that we are spending? –What do we know about the effectiveness of services? –What are we spending on prevention versus remedial services? Where are there opportunities to redirect a portion of current resources (staffing or dollars) to invest in prevention and tested, effective programs and achieve better outcomes?
