Outcomes & Best Practices
Research can inform our efforts to
improve the well-being of Oregon's children, youth. families, and
communities. Specifically research can help to:
- establish realistic short-term
or interim outcomes that will move us toward our long-term
goals;
- identify prevention,
intervention, and other approaches that are proven to effective
in reaching desired outcomes and goals;
- define risk and other
characteristics of persons who might benefit from support, thus
helping communities to target prevention and intervention
strategies.
In short, research can guide the
development and evaluation of specific prevention and intervention
efforts by reveling realistic, interim outcomes and proven
approaches that will lead to long term goals. As new knowledge
is gained, our ability to use research findings to guide programs
will grow.
