Research a program in your community that currently provides the needs you identified in your needs assessment(depression and suicide in youth). Imagine you have been tasked with evaluating the program. Your audience is a group of people considering funding your research study.

Create a 5- to 8-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation in which you provide an overview of the program and propose a strategy for program evaluation.

Include the following in the presentation: 

• Program: Briefly summarize the program. What is its purpose? How does it solve the needs of your target population?
• Program Evaluation Purpose: Describe the purpose for conducting the program evaluation. What problems or gaps need to be addressed within the program? What area(s) does the program need to address and/or improve? 
• Proposed Evaluation Strategy: Explain your proposed evaluation strategy. 
• What are the advantages of your proposed strategy? 
• What are the limitations of your plan? 
• Program Access
• Explain how you will obtain psychological entry to the program (e.g., How would you build trust and rapport? How will you develop a positive relationship/environment?).
• Explain how you will obtain physical access to the program (e.g., background checks, security clearance for documents, ethical/legal considerations, etc.).
• Data Collection 
• Identify whom you will obtain information from within the program.
• Describe the data you will collect from the participants.
• Evaluation Results
• Conclude the presentation by describing how you will address the need you have identified for this program.
• Explain how you will provide the evaluation results to the stakeholders (written document, presentation, press release, etc.). Be sure to specify who will receive information and the type of information they will receive. Justify your response with relevant details.
