What Now? Effective and Useful Data Presentation

Welcome to What Now? Effective and Useful Data Presentation, an online workshop sponsored by Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and CSAP’s Northeast Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies (CAPT). This exciting new course is designed to help state- and community-level practitioners organize and develop presentations that are interesting, informative, and tailored to audience needs.

As a participant in the event, you will have the opportunity to do the following:

Explore eight critical factors to consider when developing a data presentation plan.
Describe the differences between sub-population, comparative, and trend data.
Show how data can be used to mobilize groups to address issues raised
by the findings.
Determine the most appropriate method(s) for communicating findings to different audiences.
Examine strategic decisions that will maximize your chances for achieving intended results.

This course will also allow you to meet other practitioners in an innovative, online forum. You will participate in moderated Web-based discussions, where you can exchange ideas and learn from your colleagues in the field. You will also participate in online activities that let you immediately apply what you have learned.

What Now? Effective and Useful Data Presentation was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education's National Coordinator Training and Technical Assistance Center. It is the third in a series of courses developed by the Northeast CAPT to address issues related to program evaluation. For information on related courses, contact Melanie Adler at madler@edc.org.
