Evalumetrics Youth Survey (EYS) - EYS has been conducted in schools throughout the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier of New York for over 20 years and is being conducted in 40 schools in February and March of 2025. The EYS is based on the Risk and Protective Factor Model developed at the University of Washington by J. David Hawkins, Richard Catalano, and Janet Miller. The EYS asks students about critical health risk behaviors such as substance use, violence, and depression. EYS includes measures of all components of the ARCH (Attachemnt, Regulation of self, Competency, and Health) model including questions about students’ attitudes toward and attachment to school, family, and community. EYS also includes measures of students’ social emotional distress (SED), Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), and other underlying factors that predict the need for services at all levels of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support model. EYS is appropriate for grades 6 to 12. The EYS-4th is appropriate for 4th or 5th grades. EYS is available in English and Spanish versions.
Collaboration Survey - Collaboration is the process of two or more individuals or organizations working together toward common goals and objectives while retaining individual identities. Collaboration can be defined as the end point of a continuum of levels of working together in a coalition. Members of the Partnership rate their levels of collaboration using a matrix of Collaboration and Functional areas. Levels of Collaboration include Coexistence defined as two or more organizations addressing the same target population or problem or issue without being aware of each other. In other words, they are working in a vacuum. Communication is defined as two or more organizations being aware of each other’s existence and sharing information, e.g. , attending each other’s events or annual meeting. Cooperation is defined as two or more organizations working together on projects that exist separately in each organization. Examples include referring clients to each other or sharing data and/or information. Coordination is defined as two or more organizations jointly planning and implementing programs or activities. For example, one program’s information might be distributed in an event sponsored by another. One organization’s services might complement another’s, or events and activities are scheduled to avoid conflicting dates. Collaboration is defined by two or more organizations developing and implementing all or most functional areas of a program in a single effort. Each organization retains its identity and might have some distinct roles, but the collaboration program has an identity of its own. The Evalumetrics Collaboration Survey provides an overall Collaboration Score that can be tracked over time to assess coalition growth. Levels of collaboration for individual members can be used to facilitate greater involvment and levels of collaboration for each functional area can be used to identify and address gaps.
