How can sex education programs for youth measure outcomes and continuously improve their effectiveness?
The Urban Institute and Child Trends will host a webinar highlighting the online resources available from PerformWell Partners Social Solutions, the leading provider of performance management software for human and social services. The resources include research-based information, performance indicators, measurement techniques and questionnaires, and performance management strategies. The Urban Institute and Child Trends have made available more than 100 surveys/assessments, along with information to help nonprofits measure outcomes and improve service delivery.

About the  Partners
The Urban Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy research and educational organization that examines the social, economic, and governance challenges facing the nation. It provides information, analyses, and perspectives to public and private decision makers to help them address these problems and strives to deepen citizens' understanding of the issues and trade-offs that policy makers face. Since the 1970's, the Urban Institute has been a pioneer in developing outcome and performance measures for the nonprofit and public sectors.
Child Trends is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research center that studies children at all stages of development. We seek to improve the lives of children and youth by conducting high-quality research and sharing it with the people and institutions whose decisions and actions affect children, including policy makers, program providers, foundations, and the media. Founded in 1979, Child Trends helps keep the nation focused on children and their needs by identifying emerging issues; evaluating important programs and policies; and providing data-driven, evidence-based guidance on policy and practice.
