7. Please write a short summary of your evaluation procedures. This includes methods, participants surveyed, collection and analysis of data, assurances of anonymity/confidentiality, procedures to promote participant comfort and safety, and what worked and did not work. *

e.g. "We use sign-in logs to keep track of attendance at each event, to determine how many repeat attendees and new attendees are at each event, and to document some basic demographic data about our participants. We also use a brief survey, in combination with our outcomes evaluation (see attached), to document what participants like and dislike about each event to help us plan additional events. We used a brief survey to document the impact of the program on participant social isolation. Surveys were distributed after each event and returned to a covered box as participants left the event. We averaged a response rate of about 85%. All of our surveys were anonymous and were available in English and Russian."

8. PROCESS FINDINGS. Please provide a brief summary of your PROCESS evaluation findings. This includes number of sessions offered, client satisfaction, program characteristics, what respondents liked and didn't like, how they found out about the program, barriers to participation, and any additional findings that could help other agencies replicate the program. *

e.g. "For the 5 events held at this point, the cumulative data is as follows: we average 50 participants at each event, 10 over our stated goal; 80% of our attendees are repeat attendees, 20% are new attendees; the average age of participants is 87,although we have had several in their 90s; two-thirds of our attendees are female; most (70%) reported that they found out about the program from others who participated, only 30% reported seeing advertisements in local newspapers; most (75%) reported that the primary reason they come to the events is to be with friends and acquaintances they otherwise wouldn't get to see, only 25% report that they primarily come for the movie; 80% reported that they would like the events to be held more often; 90% said they know other survivors who would attend if transportation was provided."

9. OUTCOME FINDINGS. Please provide a brief summary of the OUTCOME evaluation findings. This includes number and/or percent of respondents who achieved the stated goal(s) of the project (e.g. decreased social isolation) and/or stated outcome indicators (e.g. knowing more people, going out more). *

e.g. "Our indicators for social isolation were connection to the community, feeling alone, meeting new people, feeling connected to JFS, and meeting with survivors outside of program events. For the 5 events held at this point, the cumulative data is as follows: 85% of attendees reported feeling more connected to the community as a result of participating in social events; 80% of attendees reported that they met new people as a result of participating in social events; 80% of attendees reported feeling more connected to JFS as a result of participating in the social events; 75% of attendees reported feeling less alone as a result of participating in social events; 55% of attendees reported that they have met with survivors they met at the social events in other settings."
