Evidence, designed to be used.
We offer four core services for organizations doing health equity work. Most engagements combine a few of them, shaped around the decision you are trying to make.
Program Evaluation
We measure whether your programs are achieving what they set out to, and give you the evidence to improve them and report to funders with confidence.
• Formative, process, and outcome evaluation
• Logic models and theories of change
• Funder and grant-reporting deliverables
• Mixed-methods data collection and analysis
Needs & Asset Assessments
Before a program is built, we help you understand what a community actually needs and what strengths it already holds, so investment goes where it counts.
• Community health needs assessments
• Asset and resource mapping
• Stakeholder and key-informant interviews
• Survey design and administration
Community-Based Participatory Research
We design research with communities as partners, sharing power over the questions asked and the way findings are interpreted and used.
• Community advisory structures
• Participatory study design and facilitation
• Capacity building with community partners
• Equitable data ownership and dissemination
Applied Health Research
When you need credible evidence to guide a program or shape policy, we bring doctoral-level rigor to study design, measurement, and analysis.
• Study and instrument design
• Quantitative and qualitative analysis
• Literature reviews and evidence synthesis
• Translating findings for non-research audiences
HOW WE WORK
A process built around your decision.
1. Listen first
We start with the decision you are trying to make and the people affected by it, not a methods menu.
2. Design together
We build the approach with you and, where it matters, with the community, so the work fits the real context.
3. Deliver to use
You get findings shaped for action and reporting, plus the support to put them to work.
