PRACTICE 2 OF 4 · 12 GUIDED MINUTES
Gather and label evidence
Community surveys, needs assessments, and direct conversations can each add useful evidence. Record who contributed, when the information was gathered, and the question asked. These details help you judge how well the evidence fits your program decision.
Try the practice.
- Find a relevant local report or gather input with participant permission.
- Record the date, source, participant group, and method.
- Summarize one finding and its limitations.
See an example
Example: A report describes 120 respondents from a county survey completed two years earlier. The team records the finding and notes that the respondents may differ from the neighborhood group they hope to serve.
