Since indirect services are population-based (i.e., they are intended to benefit the entire community rather than being delivered to specific individuals), data for evaluating their outcomes need to come from the community they are intended to benefit. There are two possible sources of community-level outcome data: community surveys and event or surveillance data collected for administrative or epidemiological surveillance purposes, such as records kept by local police, hospitals, highway traffic agencies, school districts, or colleges.An indirect service outcome (ISO) is a measure that represents an aspect of your target population that you expect will change because of your grant’s indirect service activities. For example, if one of your grant’s indirect service activities is to distribute informational booklets, you must consider what change you are trying to create in the community by distributing the booklets. If the booklets describe how to prevent HIV transmission among family and friends, then the goal may be to reduce the prevalence of HIV transmission in your community. To measure the outcome of distributing the booklets, you would report data on the prevalence of HIV transmission in your community prior to distributing the booklets (baseline data) and annual follow-up data about the prevalence of HIV transmissions after distributing the plete the following information below for each indirect service that you report related outcomes. You may select one or several outcomes to measure. Items marked with an asterisk throughout the document are required.MAI Indirect Services Outcomes Reporting InformationAfter you log into SPARS, go to your Dashboard. In the Indirect Services Outcomes Data section, hover over the gear icon and click on “Edit” under the Actions Menu that appears. This opens the main Indirect Services Outcomes Data screen. If your Indirect Services Outcomes data is from community surveys, select “View” next to “Survey Data” to open this section (see Section 1 below). If you are using event/surveillance data collected from the community, select “View” next to “Event/Surveillance Data” to open this section (see Section 2 below). 1. Survey DataYou will complete this section if you selected “Survey Data” from the main Indirect Services Outcomes Data screen in SPARS.Sample scenario: Grantee A, a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), plans to implement a media campaign with the goal of reducing alcohol use. The grantee administers the American Drug and Alcohol Survey to a random sample of university students. This sample scenario forms the basis for the sample responses listed in the “Guidance” column in the table below.Survey Data SourceFrom the main Survey Data page, click on “Add Data Source.”IDData ItemResponse OptionsGuidance1.1.1*Survey Data SourceAmerican Drug and Alcohol SurveyBehavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)Campus surveyCommunities That Care (CTC) Youth SurveyLocal/community surveyNational Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)School surveySearch Institute surveyState surveyPRIDE SurveyYouth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS)Other (Specify)Use the drop down box to select one response to indicate your data source.
