4. The Story of PPI

5. Goals of the Program
To build the capacity of DV/SA and youth-serving organizations to plan, implement and evaluate theory- based prevention activities
To create a community of learners for ongoing support
To incorporate theory-based prevention into organizational practices

6. Why did we choose this strategy?
Youth programs have:
consistent access to youth
the potential to influence young people’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviors
existing programs that address shared risk & protective factors
limited resources to train staff
PPI builds on their strengths while addressing this gap in training
Connected to Rhode Island’s Intimate Partner Violence Primary Prevention Plan

7. “PPI has given me such a deeper meaning of primary prevention
“PPI has given me such a deeper meaning of primary prevention.  It has helped me to strengthen my programs and evaluate them to make sure that they are producing the result that I am looking for as well as staying relevant.”
Tay, Men’s Engagement Coordinator

8. What we learned from you
The majority of you reported feeling confident at entering and presenting data.
About half of you feel confident creating a logic model & conducting a needs and resources assessment.
Most of you reported not feeling confident about utilizing a theory of behavior change, or explaining the difference between process and outcome evaluation.

9. We also heard your concerns
“That the evaluation tools may be more complicated or that I’ll forget them after the workshop is over.”
“I’m concerned that my agency does not have the capacity to utilize what we will learn.”
“Marketing the effectiveness of our violence prevention programming to the community.”
Hands-on learning!
