MOAPC Evaluation - Overview The MOAPC grant does not have a federally-funded external evaluation component. Clusters may voluntarily choose to devote some programmatic resources to evaluation provided that it does not affect the cluster’s ability to meet its programmatic goals with the resources available, but this is not a requirement. The lead community in each cluster is responsible for: 1.Collecting MIS service activity data each quarter, starting now 2.Submitting narrative progress reports to BSAS – including data (as available), starting October Participating in annual monitoring site visits 27

MOAPC Evaluation - MIS Using a template provided by BSAS, the Coordinator is responsible for tracking the following information in each cluster community: Demographics of the population served: – Number of individuals served through prevention programming by age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Number of hours spent on the six CSAP Prevention Strategies – Information Dissemination, Community-Based Process, Education, Environmental, Problem Identification and Referral, Alternatives. Number of times and number of hours MOAPC staff had contact with a representative from MassTAPP as part of a TA encounter. 28

MOAPC Evaluation - Reports Using a template provided by BSAS, each Coordinator is responsible for completing an online quarterly narrative progress report beginning October 2015 This report should document progress towards each of the goals and activities being implemented as part of MOAPC – including successes, challenges, and any supporting documentation that demonstrates evidence of effectiveness. 29

MOAPC Evaluation - Data To the extent that the lead community (or any partner communities) are actively collecting data on project outcomes, it is requested that this information be submitted as part of the narrative progress report. This may include data on: – Intervening variables (including risk and protective factors) associated with the issue being targeted – Non-Medical Use of Prescription Drugs – Use of Heroin – Unintentional fatal and non-fatal opioid overdoses A list of recommended survey items and methods for tracking records data (e.g., fatal overdoses) appears in the MOAPC Guidance Document. 30

MOAPC Evaluation – Site Visits Each MOAPC cluster will be visited annually by representatives from BSAS, the state evaluation team, and MassTAPP. The agenda, which will be developed collaboratively with each cluster prior to the visit, will generally include: – Project Overview and Lessons Learned – Updates from MassTAPP – Updates from the State Evaluation Team – Fiscal Updates – Recommendations and Next Steps 31
